Bibbity-bobbity-boo!

Just what every princess needs...GLAM! They were so happy to finally have a pair of their own high heels.

Having a {HOOT} on Christmas Day!

After hours of shopping, last minute rushing, and midnight baking our early birds were eager to see if Santa brought them their mermaids!

...we survived Christmas 2012! Hooray! Why we bothered getting them all those toys we will never know; they spent the better part of the day chasing each other with mommy & daddy's new spatulas!

Cold lovin'

Since they first met, Payten has been all over Frosty! Nothing says Christmas like a frolic with Frosty!

{Silence} as an Art Form

Our little artists love to create! For a few moments they both quietly contemplate their masterpieces...in silence!!

Cozy mornings

The princesses watching princesses on a cold morning...sharing a blanket.

Merry Christmas from Dustin!

More {puppy love}

There is so much love for 'our guy' Dex...and where there is heat, he's there!!

Santa {babies}

Santa - What do you two want for Christmas?
Emme + Paytie - We want to dance with you, Santa!

So, right there in the mall Santa danced with our girls...

(of course we didn't have our camera ready for this!)

Dear Santa...

Dear Santa,
We've tried to be nice but naughty got the best of us.
Love P+E

Gingerbread House {gf style 'cause that's how we roll}

Our first-ever attempt at a gluten-free gingerbread house was a mass effort...

1. GF graham crackers (because mom's too lazy to make the real stuff) & GF ice cream cones
2. Two tubs of Betty Crocker icing, candy canes, marshmallows and m&m's
3. Mommy, Daddy & Grandma Smith

...and voila, a fabulous house and gigantic sugar high for the rest of the day!!
