CHRISTMAS DAY!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

WOW - Christmas is the best! We had such a great day. We started out the morning opening presents with mommy and daddy and grandma and grandpa. We got all kinds of cool stuff! Here are some pictures of our favorite things.

PRESENTS ....

Daddy's candy - OH BOY!

TOYS ... YIPPEE!

ELMO - I LOVE YOU!

Then we were off to Aunt Sheri and Uncle Andy's house. We got to sample potatoes, rolls and green beans. Forget the baby food - we want some more of that grown up stuff! Everyone spoiled us rotten with attention and gifts. We can't for Christmas to come again. We are so lucky to be loved by so many people and to have been able to spend this special day with our amazing family!

Christmas Eve

We spent our first Christmas Eve at our Aunt Leisha and Uncle Dan's house. It was so much fun! Nanny fed us christmas cookies and Danny dipped our binkies in rum. We got to play with our grandparents and all kinds of fun things found around the house while we explored!

9 MONTHS OLD!

We just went to see Dr. Boyce for our 9 month check up and everything seems to be fine. We are gaining weight and reaching all of our developmental milestones - so two thumbs up! Here are some funny pictures from our first month of life compared to now. Wow we used to be really small!

Emily - 17 lbs. 14 oz. - 27 1/2 in.

Claire - 18 lbs. 7 oz. - 27 3/4 in.

Snowed In!

We woke up to pretty snow covered trees this morning. I was all about getting out there to play in it (well who are we kidding, I can't even walk. It was more to pose for a picture for mommy). I didn't mind getting zipped up into this marshmallow of a snowsuit, but my sister Claire wouldn't have any part of it. She just watched from the window with Tyson.

CHRISTMAS FUN!

Today we went to visit this really neat guy by the name of Santa Claus. He had a white beard and was dressed in a cozy red suit. We sat on his lap and he asked us what we wanted for Christmas. Our parents prompted us to ask for our two front teeth (then maybe we will stop being so cranky) but we want toys.

Can't wait to see what he brings us!

We also had fun playing with the Christmas tree ... mom and dad finally let us out of the pen. We like to explore ... so far the coolest thing we have found is the door stopper that makes a funny noise when we pull on it. Oh - and this plastic tub.

Mommy still isn't sure if I pushed Claire inside or if she climbed in on her own ... We sure have lots of fun together!

FUN AT THE THOMAS HOUSEHOLD!

Hmmm ... what's this?

Hey Emily - I think it's beer!

Let's crack one open and see how it tastes.

I GeT thE laSt oNE!!!!

As you can see we had lots of fun at our slumber party with the Thomas family - Uncle Andy is the coolest. We stayed up really late and slept in until a record breaking 8:00. Alll that partying wore us out. Thanks for having us over - we can't wait to come stay again!
