What a mean mom I am!

What kind of a mom would have her daughters tonsils out 4 days before Christmas? Me. I know it sounds mean, but it was necessary even though it just about killed me. Lexxy has had strep throat 6 times this year, that's every other month! Enough said. About 3 weeks ago when Lexxy had her last bout of strep throat, our pediatrician suggested we see our ENT specialist, so back to the specialist we went. He asked Lexxy to open her mouth so he could look at her tonsils, he didn't even need a tongue depressor to see how big they were. We were scheduled for sugery within 5 minutes of our appointment. I had total confidence in our specialist from previous allergy appointments, plus he's a Davis Dart - how could you go wrong?! All went well, I will not deny, it's stinkin' hard and will continue for a few more days, but I'm good for it (I think).
My sweet girls before leaving to the Hospital. Ady was so dear, she kept telling Lexxy that she would hold her hand so she wouldn't be scared - I love that girl, she's a pure joy!

Pay no mind to the big brown man, Lexxy demanded a picture with her mommy and the brown man, okay her daddy (just kidding T!)

Lexxy trying to come out of the anesthesia. Wow! That was tough.

There's my smiling beauty, I enjoyed it while it lasted, cause it was only for seconds.

What we did today...

Sorry the clip is sideways - I don't know how to flip it...

We got A LOT of snow over the weekend and the girls found the perfect sledding place, our back deck! It was hilarious to watch, especially when they would come to an abrupt stop and go flying. I know I'm a mean mom, it's just something about your childrens faces in the snow...??

So, I am a bag pipe lover! It just gets to me and sometimes even brings tears to my eyes. These guys were awesome! Very talented.

Christmas Around the World at BYU

This is our 2nd year going to Christmas Around the World at BYU. This year was the first for Ady and after about a half an hour, she was ready to scram. However, she stuck it out and enjoyed the performance (good thing I had suckers in my purse). The students are so talented. I love it! I think we can call this a tradition, as long as the Cahoonie's stick around.

3 darling girls excited to get to the performance.

Ooh, I love these girls! (I think I need a new camera - sorry for the blurry pics!)

It was good to see you Jarelle!

Ady & scissors don't mix!

What is this you ask? It's a pile of Ady's hair! We had friends over Friday night and we got chatting too much, I guess. I must of made Ady feel like I wasn't paying enough attention to her or something because she took scissors to her hair and cut a lot! I freaked out (just a little!) - thank goodness for Angie, she keeps me pretty grounded.
Lovely!

The new-do. Thanks Ang for saving us! It's a little short, but none the less, she's still darling!

Gingerbread House

Wednesday was pajama day at our home. Lexxy woke up with strep throat, so we stayed in our jammies all day. The girls had been wanting to decorate a gingerbread house, so I broke out all the decor and here they are enjoying every minute. Lexxy even shared with Ady this year. What a nice sister!
