'Twas The Week Before Christmas

We've had lots of fun things to do. Kathryn and Madi had us over for a gingerbread house decorating party. The kids had a blast! Lucy's class had a Happy Birthday Jesus party. Pia made her weekly trip up, and we finished all of our Christmas shopping. We went over to Meme and Pop's before they left on their trip to CT. Our friends Mike, Lisa and Bowen came over for dinner Sunday night. Bowen is going to have a baby brother in January and we are so excited for them!

Santa came early!!!

Lucy wanted to read Lily a book...she was really interested :)

'Tis The Season

Overall, our Santa visit was a success! Lucy sat on Santa's lap last week when I was in the picture, but was not interested in sitting in his lap again. However, she loved his rocking horse! Unfortunately we were unable to get Santa, Lucy and Lily all smiling in one picture, but at least he kept his eyes open in one of them! Today, mom came up and we took Lucy to see "The Gift of Christmas" at Prestonwood Baptist Church. Lucy loved it! Madi and her parents met us there. As is everyone else, we are busy, busy, busy, and having so much fun this time of year!!

Lucy still loves to snuggle Lily...

Lily is learning to do the same :)

While Lucy was napping Lily had fun playing with one of her babies :)

We've been having fun with our Elf On The Shelf "Avery"!

We are TOE-tally in the holiday spirit!

Lily is 6 Months Old!

Our baby girl is half of a year old already! Where have the first 6 months gone? Lily is the sweetest, happiest baby. She reminds us so much of Lucy. She loves to play in her exersaucer, on the floor with toys and tries to put everything in her mouth. Lucy is back in love with her sister and has been so sweet to share her toys with her, sing songs to her, love on her and hold her hands and dance with her. Lily LOVES any attention Lucy gives her and smiles so big at her! Lucy has been saying lately "What's her tinking Mommy?" Lily got an A+ at her check up and she loved Dr. Newton. She weighs 21 lbs 12oz and is 28.8 inches long. She is going to be a tall girl like her sister!

Our goal this week is pictures with Santa and finalizing plans for Lucy's Christmas party at school.
