It's Christmas!

It's probably not a good sign of my parenting skills when Squirms runs into the kitchen yelling "coooookies" as I take them out of the oven. It must have been the smell that gave me away - she hadn't seen me making them.

Here in Central Florida the weather is warm (shocking) and we bought a jogging stroller. I'm sore. And a bit sun burned. The Squirms turns two years old on Friday. Two. Two years and she still amazes me each day with something new. The Great's baby dedication at church is going to be Sunday. I love when finalization has occurred and we feel ready to do things like baby announcements and dedication. Also, I've had two different people comment this week that Squirms and the Great look alike. Strange.

Since it's almost Valentine's Day, here are the photos we took on Christmas Day. Look, two children under two and I'm supposed to be practicing Violin right now, not writing; it's a wonder that I've posted these before Squirms moves away to college.

What do you mean, wait? George was just sitting right here!

Oh presents!

Santa made me cry.

Stockings.

Talking on her new cell phone.

First Christmas! 

How Grandpa watches the children. He's a horse and making faces with the Great.

Present time at my Grandpa and Grandma's. First year ever that I've missed breakfast there! Oh motherhood.

Grandma is the best present-opener.

My handsome man in his bow tie.

The Atlanta crowd.

Hi! Aren't I adorable?

Luckily, there were only a couple of fist fights over who was going to hold the Great.

Ready to watch the gift KHA put together.

Yes. My coat is beautiful. And no, they don't make this skirt in adult sizes, my mom checked.

Tag!

Pretty.

Dad, I want to go play. Why all the pictures?

Telling Aunt K about his first Christmas morning.

Setting the table - name cards are important.

They LOVE me.
Why aren't y'all helping set the table?

Pit stop for fuel.

Family Photo - yes, he is pulling my hair and she seems to be eating something; it's the best we could do.

Look Auntie L.

Doesn't every baby wear a bow tie for their first Christmas?

 Happy Christmas! And Valentine's Day!
