Christmas Day

After enjoying a beautiful Christmas program at church, we all immediately got back in our comfy clothes to open more gifts.

Honestly, the girls would have been happy with just the stocking stuffers.

They were so excited opening each gift, and they were thrilled when we took them to see the play kitchen downstairs.

We love the kitchen, because there are two sides for them to use.

Leah organized all the food in the fridge, and Sarah would move piles of dishes from the kitchen to her baby stroller and back again.

During Sarah's nap, Lisa, Emily, Leah, and I made gingerbread houses. Leah's turned out the best. Granted she had all the good stuff, while we used Raisin Bran.

We took naps.

And Sophie snuggled up with her new squeaky toy.

We also skyped with the Stathis' later that afternoon.

It was a wonderful day.

Christmas Morning

It was perfect.

Girls got up around 7.

We opened our stockings, and then got ready for church.

It was fun having my family here to enjoy it with us. Every bed and couch was full. It was fun!

We missed David's family. All of them were out West this year. His parents were in Arizona with his two sisters.

Christmas Eve

We celebrated Christmas at our house with my family.

The girls loved having so much time with Aunt Lisa, Auntie Em, and Uncle David.

On Christmas Eve, we went to the U.S. Botanic Garden.

Ate Christmas Eve dinner.

Acted out the nativity.

Leah was loving all the Christmas traditions.

Day with Daddy

Leah spent the afternoon with David.

We met up with him after work, and they walked around in Old Town, Alexandria, rode the trolley, and then took the train home.

Sarah and Soph

She sure loves that pup.

November

Wow, where did it go? I remember it being busy...

...and counting down the days until Thanksgiving so we could take a break from life.

We went to a beautiful lake house with David's parents.

There was no Internet, spotty cell phone service, no cable TV, and no streetlights.

It was awesome and very relaxing.

Here are some pictures to show what the girls did in November.

Morning walks with G&G Carrier. Leah looks for treasures.

Playing downstairs. They love pushing their babies and eating snacks.

Rolling up the rug in the living room and jumping over it or sitting on it. Leah also likes to put her legs under it like a blanket.

This was in December, but awesome. We went to a Christmas Parade in Middleburg, VA. They had a horse and hound parade that was pretty cool.

I might do a separate post about it...maybe. The girls liked watching everyone while they ate their snacks.
