December happenings

We had a very busy month of December with shopping, baking, decorating, and parties. Here are a few pictures from our holiday season:

Breakfast with Santa at Will's school

Amelia had to stay home with Daddy and nap so we were saying our "goodbyes"

Our Christmas party

Lots of kids were there but we had two wonderful abbysitters to keep them occupied so that the parents could have fun too. We had a blast and we'll hopefully do it again next year.

The kids enjoying their new playset. An early Christmas present from Mommy and Daddy.

Will as a shephard in his school Christmas pagaent. Will (Left) and his buddy Tyler (Right) did a wonderful job with their lines and managed to not mess around with the sheep too much. At one point, Will walked to the front of the stage and yelled out" Mommy, look I'm a shephard." He must not have said it too loud though because I didn't even hear him. Josh told me about it later and I watched it on the video. Too funny!

Amelia saying "cheese"

We have had such a wonderful month. Will is at a great age to enjoy Christmas. He really gets into decorating, wrapping presents, and picking out that special gift. Christmas is a magical time of year when you have little ones. We have truly enjoyed watching his Christmas "spirit" grow. As for AMelia, December has brought a lot of independance. She began walking everywhere just after Thanksgiving and is learning new words so fast. Her favorites are hi, bye-bye, ba-ba (Will), Mama, baby, uh-oh, cheese, and me. She has become extremely interested in books and mimics everything that we do. She is so much fun and has quite the fiery personality.
