A good day

 
 
 
 
We don't celebrate Christmas like some families do, but we had a great day anyway. We were totally lazy and just relaxed until 3 or so, and then we went to our neighbor's house. We all had a great time there. Grandma Sandi and Papa Bob are coming today. We also get to see Uncle Peter and Aunt Mary, a treat since they are moving to Colorado.

Blogger wouldn't let me blog 5 images, so...

Playdates

 
 
 
 

The girls have been having fun with their friends. They made gingerbread cookies (we were lazy and didn't put the house together. Really? 3-4 hours??? Have these people ever spent time with 3-5 year olds, because they were not about to wait that long!)with Harrison and Gracie. Meagan and Nati loved having the kids here from Dallas.
Today Meagan's friend Alysa from Kindergarten came over and they have been having a great time with the dress up clothes.

Hanging with the neighbors

 
 
 
 

Natalie, as you can see, had a great time playing with Ms. Elizabeth on the stuffed pony (almost as big as the real deal, of course bought by Uncle Brian G.) The twins thought that Natalie was a blast, just like Natalie adored them. Meagan was the "big kid" and directed the games.
Matthew just hung out in his big guy clothes, or maybe just the shirt. His 0-3 jeans won't stay up yet. We are working on it though! Almost nine pounds...

8 weeks old today!

Matthew had his 2 month well baby checkup . He weighs 8 lbs, 14 oz, (5th percentile), and is 22.5 inches tall (50th percentile.) Looks like he may be tall and lean! He had his first couple of vaccines, someting he was not too crazy about. He was fine after a few minutes, though. I may have been more traumatized.

Holiday weekend

 
 
 

The girls have enjoyed the first few days of Channukah. I went to Meagan's school armed with Latkes and applesauce. The kids seemed to really like both of them. Last year we invented the "Channukah Fairy" and today they received Snuggies for kids. It was 72 and beautiful today, so not ideal Snuggie weather, but the girls liked them none the less. We also went to a holiday party down the street at our neighbors, which gave the kids a chance to get dressed up. Matthew wore his first "Little man" work shirt. So cute, and the girls looked very pretty in their velvet dresses and tights.

Sick Day

 
 


Both Natalie and Matthew had a bit of a cold today so we stayed around the house. The dogs got some "special time." I can't say if they really found it to be so special.

Experimenting

SMILING!!!!!!!

Matthew has been experimenting with smiling for a week or so, but in the 48 hours he has started to really smile, much to the delight of his sisters (and parents!)

I had book club last night, which I always love, but last night it was extra good since we did a cookie exchange. Is it bad that I ate brownies for breakfast? Hope not. The girls were so excited about these cute little mice that a girl made out of candy. They are adorable.

Lost tooth #2!

I went to eat lunch with Meagan at school today and tooth number two was just about to come out . She jumped off of the bus this afternoon yelling about her tooth coming out. We were very excited because a)she is happy about it and that is cute, and b) she is slated to get four teeth removed on 12/8 and now we only have to get two removed!

Natalie asked me to take a photo of Matthew with his sister, Jenny. As you can see, they look alike. :)
