We had an amazing Christmas. It all went by so quickly. We were blessed enough to get to see so many friends and family. Poor Joshua got sick on Christmas day but managed to bounce back a day or so after. We felt so badly for him. We had fun singing many Christmas songs and carols, along with singing Happy Birthday to Jesus. Joshua has gotten pretty good at reciting "Twas The Night Before Christmas." Millie jumped right in singing and has learned so many new words. We are so blessed to have so many people love us and care about us. It has been truly a wonderful Christmas time! These little babies are growing up too quickly and we are trying to take every bit of it in. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone! We love you all!

Merry Christmas to All and to All a Good Night!

Step into Christmas

We are all having a blast getting ready for Christmas and enjoying the season.  We are non-stop Christmas music around our house and any chance we get we are watching, Frosty, Rudolph or The Grinch.  I think I have seen those three movies more now in 3 years than I have in my life.  We love them though.  A few times we have been able to get out and see the Christmas lights.  These two are hilarious with their oohs and wows.  We have visited the BPS (Bass Pro Shop).  We can't say the words unless we are actually going.  We are going to try and see Santa soon.  Joshua and Millie are making all kinds of cute crafts at school.  Joshua also had his Christmas sing-a-long at church and you will see in the pictures that he enjoyed watching his friends participate.  It's too funny, when we are at home he is singing and doing all the motions and then he gets up on stage and decides not to do any of them. I also took a picture of all the fun crafts they do at their cute little school.   We cannot wait to see friends and family over the holiday. Enjoy

Oh my goodness.....could it be any sweeter?
Awe.

Both Joshua and Millie are getting some HUGE molars...bless.  This was the first time MIllie has eaten corn on the cob and loved it just like big brother Joshua.  I think both of them enjoyed teething on the cobs.

So Joshua put this backpack on himself and went around singing the Dora backpack song.
Just felt the need to take a stroll through the house with the backpack on.
This is his "I'm super strong" face.  His "Yo Adrienne" face.
Seriously, have you seen my muscles.
This is hilarious.  As we all know, yes I teach PE and encourage fitness.  However, I do not know where this came from or how he even knew how to do pull ups or what they are.  One day he gets under the table and says "I need to do my pull ups!"  He really does them, it is too funny.
Whenever Millie wears dresses Grandmommy will take her dress off to take  a nap which of course leaves Mill Mill in her tights and a onesie or shirt of some sort...it is adorable.  This time she just had to have her belt too.
ONE WORD.....AWESOME!

Here is some artwork from these sweet little babies.  If you are wondering what the bottom right thing is, it's Millie's wreath collage.  The hand print santa (Joshua's) and hand print reindeer (Millie's) are my favorite.  

These two little elves working hard on their Christmas suprises.
This is most of his class singing and doing their motions to the songs.  Joshua's got a nice grip on his ear.  
This is the little path they love to run up and down to say goodbye to their teachers after school.  Millie is a bit more cautious than the older ones.
Millie was not about to sit still for a minute.  
Nap time???  Ya think. 
 A closer view of the ever involved Joshua.  Just so you know, when we got home that evening he was singing and dancing to all the songs..go figure.
She just had to dance.
Little Candy Canes!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Well, it's our favorite time of year (minus the cold weather).  We actually had snow on Saturday. Crazy.  Here are a few pictures of us getting our Christmas tree, decorating it and just some other silly ones.  Millie has started mother's day out, or in our case, grandmommy's day out.  We were going to just start one day a week until January but Millie loved it so much she is going two days a week and having a blast.   These two are getting so big so fast.  There will be a Christmas program at their school and Joshua will come home singing songs about Joseph, Mary, baby Jesus.  MIllie is talking more and more each day, boy is she spunky. Funny story, we bought MIllie some really cute "riding" boots from target.  I put them on her and she wasn't thrilled to have them on but what made things worse was that mommy coudln't zip them up around her little legs.  Needless to say, we took them back.  We have yet to go see Santa so we will see how that goes.  Our plan this week is to get our lights up outside so we can enjoy all the holiday fun.  We have already watched Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer I can't tell you how much, the Grinch is second to that.  Like I said we love this time of year!
