December Happy Times

At long last Blogger is allowing me to put up my photos again... I don't know what was wrong, but I think I fixed it for now! Yippy! Here are some happy hightlights from our December...

 

This year was even more delightful than last year since both kiddos really were able to enjoy the season. "I love the tree so much, I'm going to hug it!"

 

A little winter magic was spread around the house.

 

 

Enjoying the glow.

 

Making many sweet holiday treats for friends and neighbors.

Our tradition with Mama Patti

 

Family visits and fun with gifts!

 

Did you know, swings are just as fun inside the house...

...as out? It's true.

Festive foot-warming, another family tradition.

Elf yourself!

More fun with gifts

cute couple Christmas cuddles

Christmas feast, complete with coconut snow globe cake by Magical Mimi

 

LIGHT SHOW!

Another big highlight of the month was Eva suddenly teaching herself to read! What fun that has been!

Dre became a "big boy" learning how to talk in sentances and moving up to his big bunk.

 

 

these two are still the best of friends...

...most of the time.

Happy (LATE) Christmas and New Year to you all!

 

puzzles and walks

with winter so mild, we've been able to play a lot outside, which is the boy's favorite thing. when it's not fair out, we do puzzles and games and school, the girly's favorite. : )

Sweet November

The happy faces of November:

...playing at the park

family time

Stargazing

M: “Oooh, look at the moon.”

e: “No, no. That’s a star.”

M: “But it’s shaped like a smile…”

e: “It’s a smile-shaped star, silly. They’re all shaped like smiles, you just can’t tell because they’re so far away.”

M: “Really.”

e: “Yes, really. I know about it.”

e: “I cocoa-ed myself.”

M: (laughing)

e: (giggle) ….“No... really.”

 M: “What do you think that sound is?”

e: “ I don’t know, but I do hear a seal somewhere at the faraway ocean.”

M: “A seal? Don’t you think that maybe that’s the neighbors’dog?”

e: “No, it’s a seal. I’m sure about it.”

Good Morning

"S'more oatmeal, please!"

Why I've kept ya waiting....

hello Campbellstown lovers,

I'm sure you faithful readers have noticed a lag in posting... okay, a complete halt. It must have been a boring December without any updates from us! : ) Just kidding, but I am sorry to report that right now, Blogger has limited how many pictures I can post, so until I work out the kinks and make more room in their storage, you'll have to check FB for updates. This is not the end! I will be back...

Eva Quote: Helping with Leaves

 

e: "Where are you going, Daddy?"
D: "Outside to help our neighbors with their leaves."
e: "Well, that's very nice of you."
(later)
e: "That is just so kind of Daddy to help Mr. Wayne and Mr. Mike withtheir yards. What a good man."

agreed. ♥

Eva Quote: Jesus Paid It ALL!

 

e: "Jesus paid it ALL! All to Him my own. SAVING US ON CHRISTMAS DAY, He washed us white as snow."

Can you tell what kinds of music we've been listening to this week?

Dre Quotes! First bunch of phrases

 

 

All day and all of a sudden, this little guy has been full of words! Of course they're babbly, but there real talking! Loving it. I love that I can soon start quoting his silliness like I do his Sissy's.

"Goo gurld!" (Yay! Sissy obeyed Mama quickly)

 "Mama, pats urn?" (can this diaper change hurry up, please? Dre want his pants back)

 "Ohm ere!" (everyone come to Dre NOW!)

 "Cee-cee, er oo?" (lost her again)

 "Mama, bik?" (can someone fetch Dre's ride?)
