Christmas!!!






Christmas was hard this year with the passing of my Granny but we still managed to have a nice Christmas spent with lots of family bonding. We headed to IG for Christmas and tried to beat the terrible weather. Of course we came the night it started to get bad and ended up hitting black ice and going into a ditch just a few miles before reaching our destination. Luckily, we were all okay and the babies didn't even wake up. We put the Durango in 4 Wheel Drive and were able to continue safely to IG. Then the snow hit! WOW - I think IG got about 23 inches of snow for the duration of our stay of about a week. It was crazy to see so much snow - it definitely was a very white Christmas. We were able to go to Christmas Mass on Christmas Eve (although Eric and I divided up Mass by taking Kylee to the basement, she was not really interested in being quiet). We then went back to my parent's house, had lots of yummy app's and then opened presents. The girls were spoiled by their Grandparents and Aunts and Uncles. It was a very nice Christmas. We woke up early Christmas Day to find that Santa had been there and filled their stockings. Later on Eric, Dylan, Kylee and her Uncles took full advantage of the snow fall and went out and played in it. Kylee only stayed out there for a few minutes - probably took us longer to get her dressed to go out in it than what she actually was outside for - but regardless, we took some pictures and I think she had fun.

    UN-believeable snow! We went to Iowa this past weekend and it was C-O-L-D. And still had all of the snow plus a couple inches on top of that!
    Cute Christmas dresses on the girls!!

Baby, Baby, Baby

The girls are so excited about becoming big sisters and are always asking questions about the baby. I read that this week the baby can hear us talk so the girls have been singing to the baby and talking to the baby. We find out if the baby is a girl or boy next month and are so excited! I had a doctor's appointment on Friday and the doctor said the baby is very active and moving all over the place. I loved hearing this because to me, the more the baby moves, the more healthy I feel it is. I have felt a few little flutters so far and can't wait for the baby to get a little bigger so I can feel it moving more often - to me, that is one of the most amazing feelings! So with baby on the mind, today, the girls came downstairs to show me that they both were expecting babies - Natalee with twins and Kylee with one and then a few minutes later - their babies were born!

It's Fun to Have a Sister!

I remember taking baths with siblings when I was younger and knew that someday my girls would get to share in the joy of playing in the tub with one another too. Although Natalee is still not quite stable enough sitting on her own in the tub, we put her in her bumbo seat so the two could play in the tub together and they LOVED it!

Apparantly Kylee has been paying very close attention to Mommy. This morning I was getting my pump out and Kylee ran over, grabbed the shields and did this...she'll make a good Mommy someday.
