Walking in a Winter Wonderland....

....well, not exactly. However, it seems to be one of Jack's favorite Christmas songs right now and he walks around singing it! If it comes on he says, "Mommy! It's our song!" TOO cute!

We had another fun holiday weekend! Thursday night was Jack's holiday program at school! It was fun (and very short..I guess 3 year olds can't stay focused to sing Christmas songs for too long) and Jack did a great job! He sang every song and looked cute in his scarf and gloves! Nunno and Poppa came down too and it meant so much to Jack! He asked over and over if they were there! He was thrilled to see them in the crowd! His class sang "Rudolph", "We Wish you a Merry Christmas", "Jingle Bells", and "10 Little Snowmen"!  We had a quiet Friday night and watched Frosty after Lucy went to sleep! Jack loved having a special Christmas movie to watch after bathtime! Daddy and I addressed Christmas cards and baked cookies after they were both asleep! We delivered some of the cookies to our neighbors on Saturday afternoon! Jack went up to each door and handed them out and said "Merry Christmas!" He thought it was an "adventure"!

Steven and I went to the Turner Holiday party on Saturday night! It was a lot of fun and so great to see so many people that have been out of town on projects.

We got up today and finished a few things for our Dinner Club! The Reilly's and the Coopers came over for a fun lunch! The kids had so much fun playing together and each one got a new ornament to take home! Everyone also got some cookies to take home too! It's been our tradition to exchange ornaments and cookies (now just the kids exchange ornaments!)

They are getting BIG! William (2.5), Morgan (5), Lucy (1), Jack (3.5), Caroline (3), Lauren (6 wks.)

Look at my Choo Choo Train ornament!

Playing under the table!

Happy to be with his buddies!

Lucy on the rocking horse!

Before I forget... I never mentioned Lucy's 1 year appointment! It went really great! She weighed 20lbs 10oz (50%) and looked "perfect" as Dr. G described her! I think she was happy to have Jack there with her (he got his stitches out at the same time).  She is ahead on most of her milestones and doing really well! We have struggled with Lucy taking a sippy cup. She has been pretty stubborn and just loves her bottle. We got through her birthday and then decided that we had to just go cold turkey. It may seem kind of harsh but she would just cry until we gave her the bottle. She would walk into the kitchen where her bottles were and point and scream for it! So...... Friday we did no bottles and she bascially didnt drink anything all day. Saturday was better and today she did really good! She hasn't asked for the bottle and we even had one empty sippy cup today! So....we might be past that hurdle! Way to go Miss Lucy!

Who ARE you Dr. G?!

It should be another fun holiday week! Bring on the Christmas cheer!
