Christmas program

Trevor had his preschool Christmas program on Tuesday. It was so cute to see all the 3 and 4 year olds up on the stage. We were a little nervous on how Trevor would act once he saw everyone in the audience. We were afraid he would clam up and do nothing. Or worse, walk off the stage.

We were wrong! The little guy is destined for show biz! At times he was the only one you could here. He was singing so loudly! And when it was time for the movement he really got into it! Then half way through, he decided to start picking his nose :) Of course we have it all on video! We will post it soon. Most of the kids had their fingers in their noses. What is it with preschoolers and nose picking?

The girls were watched by wonderful people we met through MOPS that watch our sweet babes each Tuesday. What a blessing they are to have in our lives!

Trevor still wants to practice his Christmas program daily, even though it is over. He keeps asking when he gets to go on stage again. We told him probably in May during his preschool graduation. But 5 months is way too long of a time for a 4 year old to grasp.

Santa's visit

Today Santa came to the house for a visit. Trevor thought it was pretty neat that Santa came and visited with him in his own house! When asked what he wanted for Christmas, Trevor said a new big house and a leapster game...

The girls were not impressed at first. Santa handed them candy canes, but they refused to take them. After a few pictures with Santa the girls warmed up and even had a few smiles.

Allie loved Santa! She kept coming back to him and wanting to be held by him. She crawled into his lap and blew him kisses. It was so cute to watch! Kara would keep coming closer, smile and run away.

Trevor went and worked on a Christmas list for Santa asking for a new big TV, I wonder who put him up to that one :)

We filled Santas sack with goodies for the food bank and he went off on his jolly way.

15 month checkup

I can't believe the girls are 15 months already! I barely remember last Christmas. It was all a blur with 3 month old twins. They had their checkup the other day. Allie is now up to 20lbs 12oz and Kara is 20lbs 13oz. They are still hovering between the 15th and 20th percentile, but considering when they were born they were not even on the charts, they are doing awesome! They are both 29.5" long. The best news is they still fit in their infant carriers! I do not know what I will do when they outgrow those! For quick trips it is so nice to have them in those and whip out the double snap n go.

The girls love to have things on their hands. The other day Allie and Kara were walking around the house with Trevor's puppets on their hands. It was so cute to watch them. Kara loves to put on our shoes and try and walk around the house. Allie loves to blow kisses. They are so sweet. Now that the fog of the first year of twins has lifted, I am enjoying my two gifts from God a little more each day :) The way they play and laugh and giggle with each other is priceless!

Christmas Lights

We decorated the house inside and out with Christmas lights. The girls woke up from their nap and were very excited to see all the new lights and decorations! They point at everything in the house and stare at it. It is so cute to watch them. They are "talking" as they point at the Christmas Tree and all the pretty lights.

Allie had been sick last week with a high fever and some congestion and a lot of drooling. Today I looked in her mouth and teeth #13 and 14 have popped through! Kara had a high fever a couple days ago and now has a ton of drooling and some congestion, maybe hers are next? I didn't think they would get such high fevers from teething, but I guess it is possible. There has been a lot of snuggling in the last week. Although the girls are feeling better and the snuggling is coming to an end... I have also been battling pink eye. It has been fun times around here.

We are planning a trip to see the Lights of Christmas. I think the kids will love it! Just have to get them feeling a little better before we take them out in the cold.
