First Kiss!

Well, Little M had her first kiss this week at school. A little boy in her class found just the right moment when the teacher had turned her head to lay a big smooch on Little M's lips. When her teacher was telling me about it during pick up time, Little M just grinned from ear to ear. She has mentioned that B-R-O-D-Y is her boyfriend, and I must admit he is a cutie, but I think we are just a little young for this kissing business already! Of course, Big M told me today that the kiss was just "gross", and you need to be at least 12! Haha...let's hope both girls are a lot older than that when they begin dating and kissing.

Off to the Zoo!!

It's so hard to believe that we were enjoying a day at the zoo with 70 degree weather on Monday and today it was in the 30's and 40's here! We definitely took advantage of our mild weather on Monday and visited the zoo with some other friends. Love this photo my friend, Gail, took of the kids! And, we're so glad we made it to the zoo one more time...didn't think we'd be doing an outdoor activity in January.

Crazy Hair and Sock Day!

Little M had crazy hair and crazy sock day at her preschool recently. She had a lot of fun, although I wish I had gotten the two different Hello Kitty socks she had chosen to wear that day into the photo. Little M had a big smile and her usual pose as I took her picture!

Celebrating Christmas in LA

Right after Christmas, we headed to LA to visit my parents. The girls had a lot of fun opening their presents and just being at Mamaw and Papaw's house---they were so happy to be there after an 8 hour drive.

Big M and her new scooter!

A happy Little M opening her presents.

NewYear's Eve Fireworks in LA---would be fun if we could do it in OK, but I'm sure it would be much colder!

During our visit to Mom and Dad's, we took a little road trip to Lafayette, LA. While we were there, we ate at some excellent restaurants and visited the Acadian Village. They weren't officially open while we were there, but we enjoyed walking around the grounds. We got some good photos of M&M that day too. You can check out info on Acadian Village at this site http://acadianvillage.org/.


Here's some of my favorite photos taken at Acadian Village:

We also visited St. John's Cathedral and received a very informative tour. Such an interesting place! Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area. http://www.saintjohncathedral.org/Our_Church.html

Christmas 2011 Fun

We started celebrating Christmas with Charley's family the weekend prior to Christmas. We had a good weekend visiting with Charley's Mom and then his Dad before staying over at Aunt Natalie's house.


Of course, Christmas for the Lingerfelts would not be complete without baking and decorating sugar cookies for Santa! M&M had a good time helping cut out and then decorate the cookies...Santa enjoyed eating them!

Charley read M&M a few Christmas/Winter books before bed on Christmas eve...so happy I caught a picture of it!

M&M hurrying down the stairs on Christmas morning to see if Santa had come overnight. Big M told us that she thought she heard Santa's sleigh bells through the night and knew he must have come.


M&M checked the North Pole Mailbox to make sure Santa got their letters and to see if he responded. Sure enough, he left them each a postcard.

Luckily, we had nice weather so the girls played outside and enjoyed the new plasmacar Santa had brought them. Big M also loved dancing with her new Dance with Me Baby and Little M couldn't wait to feed her Baby Alive doll.
It was a fun Christmas this year and full of so many blessings and fun moments with M&M. So thankful for our sweet girls!

All I want for Christmas is My ONE Front Tooth!

Big M lost her first tooth last night (12/23). It had been pretty wiggly for the last few days, and she was finally brave enough to let her dad pull it out. A little scary for her at first, but then she realized the Tooth Fairy would be coming and she cheered up right away! We can't believe she's old enough to be losing her baby teeth...seems like she should still be our baby. She was excited this morning to wake up and find that the Tooth Fairy had left her two gold coins. As my friend Rhonda reminded me, Big M is such a lucky girl to receive a visit from the Tooth Fairy and Santa all in the same week!

Little M's Christmas Program

Little M's Christmas Program at her preschool was last Thursday. What a great looking class! And, they did an awesome job! I posted my two favorites of the evening. She was not afraid of the stage at all...it will be fun to look back at these videos someday. I couldn't help myself and laughed and laughed at how cute she and the class were during their portion of the program. Little M was pretty serious during the singing of "He is the King". Luckily, she repeated the adorable Chubby Little Snowman poem at home for us since it was hard to understand during the program with all of the class saying it at once. Such a fun evening and it made us all smile! :) Hope you enjoy too!
