Christmas 2008 part 3

We spent Christmas day at home with the Hobans. We woke up Christmas morning, had breakfast, then Auntie J came over and we all opened presents. After our nap, the rest of the family came over for lunch and more presents! The girls got more new clothes, toys and books!

On Christmas Eve, we went to Mimi & Pops house for dinner and presents. They got lots of new clothes, toys and books.
The girls were very good although they did have a little bit of a cold, and they passed out in the car on the way home. Good thing I got their jammies on before we left.

Yesterday was our Shea/Coutu Christmas, or we shall call it "Xmas08 p1."
It was a white xmas, we had at least 12" of snow and it was not over. The girls were happy everyone could make it!

14mo old

Today the girls are 14mo old! It amazes me how quickly they are growing up!
They have a whole bunch of teeth, Sofie is cutting her 4th molar and Maia is getting her 2nd.
Their vocabulary is increasing every day, they will pretty much repeat anything, which means Mommy needs to think before she speaks!
We are in the process of transitioning to one nap, and we are still nursing once a day.

Auntie J came to music class for the first time today and was able to get some pictures!

Sofie & Mommy

Tomorrow we are expecting our first snowstorm. The girls' snowsuits are ready and I will take some pictures when I toss them in a snowbank... I mean, when they play in the snow!

Santa

Today we went and saw Santa. The girls were very good, I was expecting them to scream but they liked him, they even said "Santa"!

Busy Busy

We have a very busy week planned: playdates, playgroups, visitors, music class starts back up again and storytime!

The girls have been boycotting naps and waking during the night so I am thinking I might try dropping to one nap. Keep your fingers crossed for us!

We have a few new words: Dodie (Sofie), Ia (Maia), cheese, yum, 'stis? & 'stat? (whats this, whats that, who is that), 'are you? (where are you), vava (water).

Today we put the Christmas tree up and the lights on, tomorrow we will decorate it. We also had our first snow this morning, they got to watch the snow while they ate breakfast!
