Winter Wonderland

Snow is the coolest thing ever! We had so much fun sledding for the first time in Michigan and could have stayed outside all morning.

Christmas Morning

We spent Christmas up north with mommy's family and had lots of fun with everyone. Opening presents was lots of fun and we wanted to keep going - ripping into anything in our path, even if they weren't for us.

Our strollers are great for pushing around our favorite toys

Our aquadoodle was a crowd favorite

Dress up stuff will be lots of fun

We are lucky to have such a great family. Glad we could all be together in the chaotic fun!

WE LOVE CHRISTMAS!

Tonight we had Daddy's family over to celebrate Christmas since we will be in Michigan later this week. We had so much fun with everyone and they spoiled us rotten! WE LOVE IT! Check out all the cool stuff we got ...


An awesome computer with games that hooks to our tv
and new dvds

Dora bikes and clothes

And a slide from Papaw - you deserve lots of kisses for this one!

Thank goodness for Uncles cause they put everything together for us - we didn't even have to wait until morning to play.

A little cheering from Emily to get her bike put together

Our very own slide we can use inside - COOL!

Thank you so much for everything! We love you!

The perfect picture

Our attempts for that perfect christmas card photo

failed this weekend.

First we tried to get one with Santa ... They were so excited in the car and then waiting in line, but as soon as we tried to let go and make them stay with Santa - well you can see it wasn't a success.

You'll have to wait for the best shot on our cards coming out soon.

Then we tried our own photo in front of the christmas tree ...

Every time one would look away or give a goofy face.

Maybe next year ...

Big Helpers!

Emily and Claire love to help around the house.

Last weekend they were "helping" with the laundry ...

More like unfolding and trying on Mommy's sweaters

Then they had to help "redistribute" ornaments on the tree.

What can you do with snow inside?

Cook with it of course ...

We had some snow fall last night so today we brought it indoors to play.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We spent Thanksgiving with Daddy's side of the family this year.

Our Aunt Leisha made a yummy dinner for all of us!

It was so much fun hanging out with our family!

The boys (Craig, Connor, Adam, Daddy, Matt, Nathan and Mommy snuck in)

The only girl Katelyn - our soon to be coolest ever babysitter!

We even got to have ice cream for dessert

Ring Around The Rosie

Tune out the singing please ... just watch the two cuties dancing!

They crack us up!

Hard At Work!

We got an early Christmas present this weekend and the girls helped Daddy put it together.

Emily making sure all the screws are tight

Claire handing Daddy all the right parts

Our cool new place to color

When they woke up in the morning they went straight to the new table and fed their stuffed animals breakfast. Very cute!

BBBRRRR ...

How do you explain cold to little girls who aren't even two yet?!

So - we bundled up and braved the cold for a wagon ride. They loved every minute and looked so cute in their coats and hats.

Now we just have to work on getting them to wear mittens.

BREAKING NEWS ...

We had our first poop in the potty today! Probably just lucky timing, but hey exciting none the less!

WAY TO GO CLAIRE!!!!

Halloween Party

The Reussers held their annual halloween party and the kids had a blast playing together. It was so fun to watch them all dressed up in their costumes!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Tonight we went out trick or treating for the first time!

All ready to go ...

Come on mom - are we done with pictures yet?!

And we're off ...

Our first house - TRICK OR TREAT!

Claire checking out the loot

Look mom - candy!

Hmm ... I think I'll take this one

Dinner?!

What a fun night out! The girls had a blast and did such a good job. They were so funny - taking only one thing from each bowl. When we got to the next house if they were still holding it they would trade it in for a new one - Not realizing you got to keep ALL the candy! We love our baby bugs so much and really enjoyed watching them experience trick-or-treating for the first time.
