Holiday Happenings

The holidays in our house gave us opportunities to celebrate with good friends...

Playdates for kiddo's and mimosa's for the mommies;)

Baby Sean and his simply smitten Mama...

Our efforts to get a good group shot

2011 Picture with Santa

Immediately after Santa pic, playing at Giggleberry Farms "Discovery Zone"

(PS-he walks. everywhere. all the time. It's been awesome.)

The faster, crazier, and out-of-control she can try...the better. Yikes.

Gone fishin'

Practicing being a teacher. She totally walks with hands folded behind her back. You should of seen her with the erasers. She was clapping them just like how I remember the Nuns teaching us in grade school. I started to comment on that and what a great "eraser clapper" she will be in a few years at her school and Keith reminded me that schools use smart boards now-or at least white boards. I am always about 5 years too late. Hence trying to burn a Christmas CD before our open house and asking Keith where our CD player is to play it. Note to self: try to hunt a "new" one down-not ready to part with my mix CD's...



Liam is super into animals and the sounds they make these days. I have found him lying down on his belly, all stretched out playing with his farm, hiding his animals, putting them in his trucks, etc... He makes up his own little games to play. The other day I came downstairs to find him in this basket, all the animals in there with him and his barn set up right next to him.
And then his sister got in the way...
And into the basket she went.

Christmas Morning!

Already we were ahead of the game since we had two babies who were both healthy this year and no one threw up to start our day like last year;)

Trains, farms, and puzzles, Oh my!

Oh the pom-poms...just look at the joy on her face!
And again, dozens of presents to play with and the $1 slinky I picked up as a last minute stocking stuffer at Michaels got the most attention.

...Until they spotted the Kitchen that we put together upstairs for by the tree...that was a good surprise:)
Babies were slightly spoiled in a really good not over the top, crazy way, and Keith and I enjoyed so much just watching them take it all in. What a wonderful Holiday with family and friends. Will be posting more Christmas Eve pics from Mom-Mom's and Christmas Day from Mamo and Pop-Pop's.

Wishing our readers a Blessed New Year...2012 looks to be a good one!
