Merry Christmas!

We had a great Christmas this year, even though Christmas day felt so hectic. We ended up being gone the entire day! Lily was a little more excited than last year, so that made it more fun. She definitely got spoiled by everyone, so did the boys.

Opening presents from Santa... not quite sure Christmas is fun yet. It took her a while to warm up to the idea. She kept insisting only one of the presents Santa brought was hers.  She said the rest were for her brothers and her "swiends." (friends)  By the end of the day she was a pro at unwrapping presents! She even helped Jet and Jax unwrap theirs!

Lily made McKade sit in her new tent she got from Mimi and Grandpa Dave and put together a puzzle.

Lily's hair has been driving me crazy lately. I finally decided to have auntie Jill chop it all off! Lily loved all the attention, and did just what Jill asked her to do. It turned out so cute and it is so much easier to do! I have told Lily over and over that Jill is the ONLY one who cuts our hair... I'm terrified she'll grab the scissors one day and hack it all off....

Her hair was so long, I think we ended up cutting off about four or five inches! It looks much better, I think :)

Christmas parties...

We started out the week with two Christmas parties, the Wagner party and the cookie party with the Colledge fam! We had the annual nativity with the Wagner fam, this is the 50th year in a row they have done it!

This was Lily's first year participating in the nativity, she was a shepherd.

The next night we headed up to TeNeales for the cookie party! Grandma Leslie had taken Lily up earlier in the day, when we got there with the boys these kids we covered in flour!

Rolling out the dough

Lily decided she'd rather just eat the frosting than frost the cookies

One potato two potato

Last night me and McKade were in the living room getting the boys ready for bed. I could hear Lily in the kitchen getting into the fridge, but I just ignored her. A few minutes later I hear a chair being pushed across the floor, this usually means trouble. She has discovered she can push a chair from the kitchen table over to the counter and use it to climb onto the counter and get in to things. When I got up to see what she was doing, this is what I found...

Yep, those are potatoes on the floor. I asked her what she was doing and she said, "washing tatoes." Huh? Then I remembered that like, two weeks ago we had baked potatoes for dinner and I had her wash them off. She remembered, and she refused to go to bed until every potato in the bag was washed.

When she was finished she said "your welcome mommy!" then left the kitchen to go to bed. Gee, umm thanks.. :)

Four Months!!

We're four months old! We are growing and learning to do lots of fun things.. like laying on our play mat and grabbing at toys, rolling over (Jax only), and belly laughing at our goofy daddy, sleeping 7 hours at night, and taking three hour morning naps! This makes mommy so happy she doesn't know what to do with herself, big sister has never in her life taken a three hour nap! Four month stats...
Jax: 13lbs 9 oz   25 inches long      
Jet: 13lbs 5 oz    25 inches long

Festival of Trees

We went to the festival of trees with grandma Leslie and TeNeale and her girls to see aunt Collettes beautiful tree. It was fun to walk around and see all the trees, and the girls we all really good. Don't Chloe and Lily look thrilled?
