We've had a whirlwind Christmas this year. And let me tell you, these girls are so lucky to have parents, grandparents, and a generous Santa in their lives. We had our own family Christmas first, then went to Nana and Pap's for our second Christmas, then to Cee and Fodder's for a THIRD Christmas. We'll start with ours...

Cee and Fodder's

Cee and Fodder's house was as lively as ever. Morgan and Rhodes played chase, tickle tackle, and sang us some Christmas carols. Mary Alice had more fun playing with the wrapping paper and ribbons than anything. My one Christmas wish this year was to get a decent picture of my girls in front of a Christmas tree. I tried so hard, but never got "the one". I don't know why I put myself through it. Morgan hates taking pictures, and the minute she does decide to cooperate, Mary Alice gets upset about something. It's maddening! The first pic below was my last attempt, and Morgan sprang out of the picture at the last second. Oh well!!!

Cousin Rhodes is soooo cool.
Love that wrapping paper and ribbon.
This is Morgan's mermaid village that Cee created for her. It was pretty awesome, and Morgan loves it!

Nana and Pap's

We had a blast at Nana and Pap's. Morgan thinks the world of John Reed, and they play so well together. Mary Alice and Lauren also look so cute together. We are so lucky to have cousins so close in age!

Our matching cuties - Morgan is not really choking Lauren, but helping her sit up :)


Santa brought Morgan a cute vanity table for Christmas. Mary Alice is jealous she can't get on the stool to see what's going on.

School Christmas Program

The girls had their school Christmas program this week. Morgan was a shepherd and Mary Alice was a cherub. The program was entertaining as always, and it's so fun to see these kiddos trying out their acting skills. We are pumped about some Santa in this house. Stay tuned for some Christmas pics!

Mary Alice Starts to Crawl

Mary Alice took off crawling today for the first time. We were able to capture it on video, which will serve as entertainment on two fronts. One is of course our sweet baby on the move for the first time, and the second is Morgan's new accent. Morgan turned country in the span of a week. Check out the way she pronounces iPad...

Disney On Ice

Morgan and some friends went to Disney on Ice a couple of weeks ago. They were mesmerized by the skating characters and completely captivated by the stories. We tried to snap a quick pic on our way out. Hayes was a little disappointed to be leaving all the fun behind :) Love these girls!!!
