Merry Christmas!

Snow Day!

The snow started falling yesterday about 5:00 pm, and this morning the ground was covered with snow. In fact, the local school district cancelled school today. Yippee! A snow day! One of our neighbors gave several neighborhood children 'rides' in the snow, and Katie and Meg had a ball watching them out our back window.

20 degree weather doesn't stop us!

It has been so cold here, but we still got out for a walk today. Katie (left) and Meg (right) seemed to enjoy the fresh air and change of scenery. They stayed nice and warm ... I, on the other hand, froze! I think I will ask Santa for a warm hat and a face mask for Christmas.

Big Girls!

Meg and Katie can both hold their own bottles!

Walking in the Snow

Our new stroller cozies arrived yesterday, and today was the perfect day to try them out. For those of you that don't know what a stroller cozy is, it is basically like a 'sleeping bag' made for strollers. It is lined with very soft fleece and it has zippers down the sides.

It was cold and snowing lightly, but the girls stayed toasty warm. I'm glad we found a way to keep the girls warm in their stroller. I plan to continue our walks throughout the winter. The fresh air is good for all three of us!

Sharing Toys

Meg and Katie have started grabbing toys from each other's hands. One day it seems that every toy that Meg is holding is the toy that Katie wants, and another day Meg will want every toy that Katie has. Both girls usually let out screams of protest when her sister yanks the toy from her hands. Here are some pictures of Katie and Meg "sharing" toys:

Football Fans

Meg and Daddy had fun watching football this weekend.

First Santa trip

We took the girls to see Santa for the first time. It was great because all of the grandparents were still here.

The girls loved looking around at all of the decorations and the people.

I think we got to meet the real Santa, he was very good...
