Never Ready!

Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad Miller!
It's almost been a month since I've posted! I have been consumed this month with work parties, ward parties, birthday parties, two unexpected hair cuts, Christmas cards, and all the fun time consuming things that come with the Christmas season. I hope you are all doing well. We have loved getting your Christmas cards and getting the updates! Here are a bunch of pictures to show you what we've been up to. Enjoy.

Alexis celebrating her birthday at Pre-school on Dec. 6th! Take note of the her LONG pony tail.

The next day, Dec 7th. I was hysterically crying taking these pictures!

The back left was pretty short...I know it's not that bad...but this was my first experience where I felt she knew better. No one told me how much it hurts as a mother...when you know they know better.

The next day, Dec 8th...Alexis' B-day. Why do I buy anything else? Bubble tape was the only thing that made her smile! Cuz she never gets it!

Alexis party at the park that afternoon.

I didn't plan this picture...I was trying to get them all to smile...but up they all went. A park and bounce house (courtesy of Amber's sister, Jillyn)...the kids were never bored and it's free!

Happy 4th Birthday Alexis!

Chelsea, Alexis, Emily and Carter eating lunch.

I love that Carter is so photogenic!

Alexis get's compliments everywhere we go about her cute hair cut. Today a few mom's we didn't know stopped me at Huntington Surf and Sport to tell me how cute her hair cut was...Is it too much to ask to want the positive reinforcement to STOP?

A better shot of her "A" line hair cut!

Alexis' birthday dinner at Lonestar in Long Beach. YUMMY!


On a train ride at the mall. We seriously thought Carter was going to bust a blood vessel in in face he was screaming..."BYE"...so loud! Of course our kids got in trouble for trying to touch the wheels of the train while in motion. Go figure!

Visiting Santa...Alexis is thrilled...Carter unsure and probably thinking Alexis is crazy to be so happy about this guy!

I love this picture. This is Alexis and her friend, Brandon, at South Coast Plaza visiting Santa. We were standing there with the Moffett's deciding what to do next when Alexis and Brandon broke out in the middle of the mall singing, "Bum, Bum to Bum, Bum!" They thought they were so funny...and they actually were this time!

OK, you may not want to hear this....but I think her hair is SO cute! Just don't tell Alexis I said that. Sometime I'll have to tell you what I've done to my girls to ensure they never cut their hair. I'm a bad mom.

It looks like visiting Santa and the ride on the train was a fun trip!

WOW! i hadnt heard that story till we came to CA... that would be a rough experience... and Randi said that you woke up to her with scissors in her hand getting ready to cut your hair? YIKES! But i would have to agree with the rest, very cute hair!

I love your pictures! And, her hair is adorable. My kids know cutting hair is forbidden. So, Kate cut two of Ella's baby doll's hair. It was pretty much just as traumatic for Ella as if her own hair had been cut. They have now become our "sick" babies! At least Alexis' hair was saveable! It's cute!

Does Alexis go to preschool at the FV Community Center - at Mile Square??? If so, I was just curious how it is over there now that they have a new teacher.
