Christmas Eve

Christmas Cookies

I love making Christmas cookies with the girls! I really look forward to it every year even though there are times where my patience is completely tested while we are baking=) Of course, they love to stick their fingers and sneak little bites whenever they can!!

School Holiday Parties

First Snowfall

The girls love to play in the snow and eat it=) Daddy really loves going out and playing with them in the snow. I prefer to stay inside where it is nice and warm and look out the window with Lauren! We have only had one snowfall this year and that was a month ago, so right after Thanksgiving. We have been waiting for another big snowfall so the girls can go outside and run around!!

Lauren 10 months old

Lauren's personality is really starting to come out and we just love it!! She has taken her first steps and everyday she keeps trying harder and gets braver to walk on her own. She has also learned how to shake her head no and does it often to us especially when we are trying to feed her dinner=) She's just trying to tell us she wants us to give her some "real" food!

Happy Holidays!

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving in Troy, we look forward to this trip every year!! It's so nice to get away from school and home for a nice long weekend and spend time with family. We also got to spend some time with our nephew Chase. He is growing so fast already and can't believe he is almost 6 months.

Katie or Lauren?????

So out of all three girls, Katie and Lauren look the most alike! Matching up all of their photos at the same age, it is so hard to tell in some of them who we are looking at=) In this photo Lauren is on the left and Katie is on the right. We couldn't pass up the opportunity to take a picture of Lauren in the same outfit as Katie had at that age just to see how much they really looked alike. Lauren does have a more round face than Katie did at that age so that is one way to tell them apart.

Katie Indoor Soccer

A friend of ours suggested that Katie might enjoy Shoreline Indoor Soccer because they have a program for 3-6 year olds and might be a good way to introduce her to soccer. So we are trying it and so is her friend Cullen. She seemed to enjoy the first class. Although at one point when she was told to kick the ball, Katie thought they said to "lick" the ball and so there she is licking the ball on the field.....oh my!! This might be a very interesting session of soccer=)

Lauren 9 months old

Lauren is oh so close to standing on her own and walking!! Honestly, we can't wait! All of us are looking forward to celebrating Lauren's first Thanksgiving and Christmas=) It will be a great holiday season!
