Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! I hope everyone had a happy holiday. We took our first overnight road trip with the girls and they did awesome. They actually set a sleeping record and slept until 4:45 am :) It was so nice to share the holiday with all our friends and family. Here are a few pics from the week.



Enjoy the rest of the holiday season. We are enjoying having Heather off and trying to fit in some movies and relaxing at home inbetween naps!



 

p.s. Hard to believe last year at this time we were on a plane to London! What a difference a year makes :)

Two Months!

I can't believe the girls are already two months old! (Technically 9 weeks this week, but we are behind on pictures). I did a quick comparison with my new collage tool...crazy how they have grown. (And still don't like posing for me at all!) Kate is on top and Savannah on the bottom.



As of Wednesday Kate weighed 10lbs 13 ounces and Savannah weighed 11lbs 2 ounces. They have doubled their size since we left the hospital and both very healthy. They also are sleeping 5-6 hours at night which is a very nice improvement! We are down to only getting up once a night.

The girls also had their first craft project (with mommy's help) and made a cookie plate for Santa and the family. We made one for cousin Isabelle too!



This is my attempt at taking a Dollar Store plate and decorating it with Sharpie markers. You then bake it in the oven and its "supposed" to stay put. We'll see after the first washing. My brain is exploding with "sharpie" projects now. I am looking forward to many more craft projects with the girls :) Of course we still have cookie dough sitting in the fridge...hopefully we will get to baking cookies before Christmas!

We are also looking forward to our first overnight road trip this coming week for the Christmas holiday and can't wait to spend Christmas day with our new little angels and the rest of our family. Wishing everyone a wonderful holiday.

Time to Decorate

It took us almost two weeks but we finally finished putting up our Christmas decor this year.  Usually I exhaust myself and put it up in a day, but that didn't seem like a reasonable option this year :) Here are a few pics of the finished product. We still have a lot of unopened Christmas decor boxes downstairs, but for our first year in a new house with two newborns, this seemed like a good start.



The baby bouncy seat is now part of our decor :) We also put lights outside (front and back), but it is way too cold to go out and take pictures!



Here is a snow covered view of the back without the lights on.  Hope everyone is staying warm this weekend! And GO BUCKS!! :)
