Merry Christmas!

Not surprisingly, the spoiled children did pretty well for themselves today. Apparently Reagan was very concerned that Santa wouldn't bring her everything she wanted because she might not have been good enough, but it wasn't really a problem. We had a great day with all our visitors, and now I'm so full I can't move.

Here are a couple pictures from the day.





And thanks to Mario, it is now easier to get to our blog, photos, and videos. He purchased euregirls.com for us for Christmas, so you can use:

www.euregirls.com for this blog
photos.euregirls.com for my flickr photos (more Christmas pictures are there)
videos.euregirls.com for our youtube videos

Exciting!

Wii Fun

Note to myself and everyone who reads my blog and may be here over the next few days:

We seriously need to take pictures and video of some of the fun that we can have on the Wii together, such as:

-We already know that Rock Band is the most fun. And downloadable songs are supposed to be available for the Wii really soon! And it's possible to capture the most awesome expressions when we're playing.

-Disney Sing It is a great game. For some reason (mostly because I can't sing), I was very hesitant to do any singing on Rock Band, especially when there were actual good singers in the house. But Reagan and I aren't afraid to duet on some great songs on this game.

-Wii Fit is going to be the secret answer to me getting in shape. Of course, I'll probably be over it by the end of the week, but based on my 2 days of Wii Fit experience, I love it. And I want to unlock everything! While it has kindly informed me that I'm overweight and need to lose some, it has also correctly informed Jenny that she is a healthy weight. And all the balance games are fun to watch. Apparently Jenny and I are both very unbalanced and unable to avoid a soccer shoe in the face in the soccer ball game.

It's going to be so much fun over Christmas! I didn't even mention Dance Dance Revolution 2 that I haven't opened yet!

Performances

Both girls have had performances at gymnastics and dance over the last few weeks. And obviously (from my other post) I spent a lot of time uploading videos to youtube last night!

First, Jenny's gymnastics performances.

Bars:




Balance Beam (this one's from far away, but you can still see her):






And Reagan's Christmas performances (note that Reagan has decided she doesn't want anyone to see her back, so she always has to wear a shirt over her leotards):

Video Time

These are a few videos that Jenny recorded over Thanksgiving. Mostly things that don't really need to be shared with the world, but that will amuse some people. Keep in mind that these were all taken before Charlotte cleaned the house.

War

I just got home from some shopping, and I came in to find Lee and Jenny playing War (the card game). I've been working on dinner, and I just told them that it was about ready, so they shouldn't play another game.

Jenny: Can we play more later?
Lee: Probably after dinner.
Jenny: Then I'm gonna kick your ass.
Lee: What?
Me: What did she say?
Lee: She said she's gonna kick my ass.
Jenny: I meant to say B-U-T!
Which causes us to laugh. Followed by:
Jenny: I meant to say B-U-T not A-S-S-S.

So now we're pretty sure she probably uses that kind of language with her friends.

Name Change

I did a terrible job of blogging while we had family visiting (and by visiting, I mean being awesome and helping out), so I'm just going to get right back to it.

Today, in the car on the way home, the girls and I had the following discussion:

Reagan: Mama (in a really whiny voice), I wish we could just change my name.
Me: Why? What kind of name do you want?
Reagan: I just don't want to have a Disney name anymore.
Me: Okay, what kind of name do you want?
Reagan: I wish I could just be named Selena.
Jenny: Oooh! Can we change my name to Jennifer?
Me: Why do you want to be named Jennifer?
Jenny: I just love the name Jennifer.
Reagan: I just wish I could be Selena.

Charlotte took lots of great pictures for us this weekend, and I used some for Christmas cards. I was going to go through and pick out my favorites to post here, but I think I'll just do it later!
