The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!!!

We really did have the best Christmas ever! The weather was great, we got to see almost all of our families, we have 2 beautiful children to share it with...I could go on and on!! We hope that each and every one of you also had the best Christmas ever!

Drake just hung out while Calla opened her presents and his!

These are her new comfy socks that she has wined about wanting...this is how she choose to wear them!

Christmas morning. Calla was bummed that she did not get a "Magic Oven" but we convinced her the Nintendo ds was a much better deal!

Each girl got their own Go-Go My Walking Pup...they never stopped walking them all weekend!

Drake really likes his new tummy time mat that swivels all the way around!

Drake and Great Grandma Lorene!

Drake and Great Uncle Brad!

Calla's new bed...her Princess tent!

Christmas is almost here!

We are so excited for the weekend to come so that we can spend some time with our families!

This is what we seem to spend our time doing! :) We love it!!

Calla was SO EXCITED to go 'play' in the snow(flakes) on Saturday morning...our first snow of the year! We ended up with about 1/4 of an inch.

Waiting outside of Santa's cottage!

This handsome man recently had his 2 month check up. He weighed 11lbs 10oz and is 231/2 inches long. At this point, Calla was one ounce and 1 inch less.
We are so excited to spend our first Christmas as a family of four!

Gingerbread Village

Calla and I bought a gingerbread village kit at Wal-Mart and let me tell you how much fun we had assembling it. I made the frosting and assembled the houses. Next we had to wait an hour for them to dry. Then Calla got to decorate to her hearts desire! What a great cheap activity! Our Wal-Mart had them on sale today...if you want your own you better get going!
This will have to be our new tradition because it was so fun!
