Merry Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve we spent the evening at my dad's house and Santa already arrived!  The kids must have been really good this year!

 Jackson was so excited to get a bike!

 Emilie diving right into her present.

 Skylar and Jackson opening presents.

Melt my heart, Andrew just knows how to smile for the camera!

7 months

Emilie and Jackson hanging out waiting for pictures!  Emilie's shirt says "I was worth the wait"  and she sure was!  My friend, Trish gave me this shirt along with a boy onesie when we found out we were pregnant and didn't know that it would be Jackson :0) Four years later we finally were able to use it!

Emilie and Andrew are 7 months old. 

We finally don't have to go to the doctor every month.

Stay tuned for their 9 month check up for their stats. 

Checking out GG's Tree

Every year I love to help my grandma decorate her glass tree. She has accumulated many spun glass ornaments over the past 15-20 years.  The tree looks so good because of how the light hits the glass on each ornament. 

 What is our brother thinking about!

 Emilie and her long eyelashes!

Santa came to visit!

 Jackson was so excited to see Mr. and Mrs. Claus

 Andrew had no problem but Emilie was a little upset.

 Emilie wanted to make sure Santa was real by pulling his beard!

Gingerbread House and Cookies

 This is a cute Gingerbread house Jackson made at school to get in the spirit of the holidays.  We needed to bake a dozen cookies for his cookie swap Christmas party at school this week. We decided to invite his friend Ryan over to help!

Jackson and Ryan are ready!

 Opening Hershey Kisses

What the babies did while we baked. 

 Decorating some sugar cookies, don't mind that they are darker in color because I used whole wheat flour.

 The cookies are done!  

Guess who :) Fun baby bath photos!

 

The top two are Emilie and the bottom two are Andrew!

Guess who is holding her bottle!

Jackson's Field Trip to our local grocery store..

 I was able to meet Jackson at his field trip. He was so excited to go on the bus and here he is getting off the bus to come hug me!
