We got to take some family photos and these kids did so well! Photo credit to Dad or Mom or Evan...they all took some :)
What a little man!
And, the craziness.
Bribed with a cookie...totally worth it.
Counting down the days till Christmas!
Watching the train at Mom-moms
On the hunt for a perfect Christmas tree!
"Mom, I think I found it!"
Lorelei checking out the tree, the lights, and the decorations
10 months old!
Jimmie did NOT want to see Santa to take his picture. This was as close as we got.
Lorelei looking less than thrilled, but not crying!
I love the tradition of making these kiddos stockings!
A happy girl ready on Christmas Eve!

Another cool Christmas tree!
Grandpa and Lorelei
On Christmas Day, Jim was able to come over for Christmas morning so that we could do it together with the kids.
Jimmie was SO excited to see that Baby Jesus has come and was laying in the manger when we came down on Christmas morning!
Checking out his new easel from Santa!
Lorelei playing with some gifts from Santa
Some play food and Jimmie wrapping Lorelei's baby doll in "swaddling clothes" like Baby Jesus
Yes. Shorts and short sleeves on Christmas. Lorelei work a onesie and a skirt!
Reading a book with Heather after Christmas dinner
We went to see Star Wars one night and loved it! Funny story though. During the total climax of the movie, the fire alarm went off and we were evacuated. Geoff was watching the kids and had plans for the evening so I had to go home and wasn't able to go back in. So, I missed the last 15 minutes of the movie. Thankfully the theater was great and allowed us to come back in any time to watch the whole movie again with our ticket stub. They ALSO gave us a comp ticket to use for whatever, whenever. All in all, it was a success and great movie.
We were pretty excited to go see the light show at Macy's a few days before NYE
We almost didn't make the show but with us all running and carrying half of the kids, we made it just as it was starting. Jimmie thought it was so cool!
Doing some coloring
Love this sweet boy. He was very excited to use his baking kit that he got at Christmas so we made some cookies.
On New Year's Eve, we went with the Robertson's to Philadelphia to see Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat. Mom was kind enough to stay and watch the babies!
It was a great show!
We had a really fun New Year's Eve celebration complete with chocolate fountains and sprinklers!
Once the kids went to bed, I was not too far behind. We had done an "early" New Years celebration before the little ones went to sleep. After we were just hanging out a little bit, I wasn't feeling awesome and decided to go to bed instead of staying up.
I got sick that night along with a few others.
Over the course of a few days, most people came down with the stomach bug.
Poor Jimmie got it really bad. It took him a week+ to recover.
This little troublemaker never got it though. She felt a little under the weather but never threw up. Obviously it didn't impact her THAT much. Still a sassy little troublemaker :)
She makes me happy.
11 months old and walking ALL over the place!!
