Early Christmas with the family

Angie & her children were here last weekend for an early Christmas gathering. It was great to see them. All of the girls are growing up way too fast!! I didn't take too many pictures. It's hard to get a 2.5 year old & an 18month old to hold still long enough!!


The 'big' girls had their hands full trying to keep the little ones still long enough for a snap shot.



Amber was giving a "Two for one" deal on the piggyback (or belly) rides!






Hannah with 2 of her new presents: Her pink chair from Uncle Wes & Aunt Brandi & a rubber duck from Mimi. It blows bubbles....a huge hit!





Hannah & her Daddy with Natalie's new toy violin. Hannah loved it & didn't want to give it up. Shh! Don't tell her, but Santa Clause is bringing her one, too. ;-)







Finally, sweet Natalie gets a turn with HER violin!








Do I make her wear a jacket???

So these days, dressing Hannah has become quite the chore. She seems to prefer a diaper & her accessory of choice....either shoes or a hat. Go figure. She wiggles & fusses until sometimes I decide it just isn't worth it to clothe the child. She is perfectly content to run around the house in the bare minimum. I have just one question.... Should I at least make her wear a jacket when we go to the grocery store?? ;-)




Here, she is seizing the opportunity to jump on her mattress when I'm attempting to change the sheet. She obviously chose rain boots as her accessory of the day.






Lock-up your computers! We frequently find her 'surfing' the web when we aren't looking.... once again in a diaper & accessory of choice.







Here, she is putting her babydoll in the bouncey seat.....in a hat & diaper.








Bubbles, Bubbles, & more Bubbles!!

Hannah is a big fan of bath time. We mention the word & she runs straight to the bathtub. I think it has something to do with all the bubbles. Hannah is more of a 'do-er' than a 'talker' but she loves to say the word BUBBLES!!
