January 2010

We hope that you are all having a great start to this year. I just had some pictures of the girls hanging out at home and in Washington. We just got back last weekend from my Papa's 80th birthday party, and so I had some pictures from that. Also I took some video of the girls playing on the Wii, and Lucy trying to say words. It was very funny to listen to, and she is starting to get better at words. Hope that you all enjoy.

Chirstmas 2009

Happy New Year to you all!!!!!

We hope that you all had a wonderful time with your family this Chirstmas. Today was the girls first day home to play with some of their toys and Avery was so excited to get out the train set.

Lucy made it crash on accident.

We had a wonderful Christmas and enjoyed seeing everyone. Here are some pictures that we took throughout all the Christmas' that we had. Hope that you enjoy.

Christmas Tree

We got home on Saturday for Florida, and my wonderful husband took us to get our tree on Sunday. We now have our house decorated and are ready for Christmas to be here. Well kind of, we have a few more presents to get and then Christmas can come.


Avery helped cut down the tree.

Avery and Lucy putting their ornaments on. The only problem was Lucy didn't want to let go of hers.

This is our new family ornament as of this year. We got it in Disney World obviously. It is all of the pieces of Mickey.



This is the tree that Avery wanted to get because, "I only like itty bitty trees...I really don't like big ones."

Disney World Videos

For those of you who don't know we went to Disney World last week. It was a lot of fun and we took lots of pictures. Because life is in the full holiday swing I will get up pictures from Disney World after Christmas, but here is some videos that I took while we were there. Hope that you enjoy.

Swimming Lessons in December

So this is Lucy's first swimming lessons at the community center and she is starting to get used to it. Today was our second day and she really didn't cry as much which made it way more enjoyable for me. Avery also gets to do swimming lessons at the same time in a different part of the pool. She has started to jump in the pool which is a big improvement from our last swimming lessons. We will see what she can do and how much Lucy likes it after we are done in two more weeks. In the mean time enjoy these pictures of the girls at their lessons today.

This is a video of Avery jumping and then of Lucy riding on the noodle in the current pool.

Thanksgiving and Zoolights

We hope that you are all enjoying your Holiday season. On Tuesday of this week we went with Auntie Mandy and Uncie Todd to the zoo for the zoolights. It was a lot of fun to ride the train and look at all the Christmas lights. We have now switched from Thanksgiving to Christmas and Avery is getting so excited for Santa to come. Here are some pictures from the last week that I thought you might enjoy.

We had to bundle them up to keep them nice a warm.

Avery wore her underwear and her apron to make breakfast.

Avery helped Lucy put on the tutu and then Lucy refused to take it off.

Avery, Lucy, Brett, and Uncie Todd played ring around the rosy, and loved it.

Videos

I thought that today I would get to uploading some videos that I have of the girls from this fall. These first two of the girls and their dancing abilities. They love to dance just like Brett does, and it is really great to watch them.






This next video I took while we were having lunch one day at home. Lucy was falling asleep and this sequence that happened in the video had occurred about 10 times before I could get the camera to video her.




Although it make look as though she is actually eating that piece of the sandwich never made it into her mouth. Avery and I got a kick out of watching her.

This last video I took today. Lucy has really been getting into reading books and we a book about farm animals. We have been working on what animals say. Lucy came up with what a dog says all by herself. And as you will see we are still working on duck, pig, and horse.




Hope that you enjoy all the videos and are getting excited about Thanksgiving and Christmas. We will hopefully see the majority of you over the next couple of months, and can't wait until that time.
