Christmas Week: Day 3

Christmas eve is a tradition in my family, where we go to my Grandma and Grandpa's house and celebrate with my Mom's side of the family. My mom is one of 10 kids, so the place is a wonderful madhouse of Christmas Cheer!!! This year, we were all packed up a ready to go, but then Lilly decided to be up all night crying...weird, we thought, as it's so not like her. Around 4:30am I took her temperature, and found it over 106 degrees. In addition to freaking out, we took her to the ER and spent the morning there. Luckily, she was okay...just really bad ear infections. Needless to say, we didn't make it to my Grandma's for Christmas Eve, but I'd much rather have a healthy baby girl instead!

Christmas Week: Day 2

We began our Christmas celebrations with some close friends of ours...JoAnn and Jessie. We love them and they love our kids, so we are so blessed to have them in our lives! We had din din together and then Jacob and Lilly opened some presents. Jacob got a US Map puzzle that says the states names and the capitals. He totally loves it! Lilly got some princess gear, complete with a princess shirt, princess bag, and princess books. What a great way to start the Christmas season.

A Whirlwind Christmas Week

We had a busy Christmas week, filled with friends family and lots of FOOD!!! Check back each day this week for a play-by-play!

To kick things off, here are some pics of the kiddos by our tree. They were very excited for Christmas...this was the first year that Jacob understood the concept of Santa Claus, so he was pumped to be a good boy so Santa would come to visit. Lilly on the other hand, just really wanted to pull off all of the ornaments!

Watch out world...she's walking!!!
