just a few xmas pictures

just an update

Gracie had her 4 month well baby check up yesterday morning and everything seems to be going great. First and foremost...no heart murmur this time around so that's good. Gracie is in the 90% for her height being 25 1/2 inches long and she is in the 65% for her weight being 14 pounds. She is doing great with everything and is still in bed at the moment and it's almost 8am.

Emma couldn't be more excited about Christmas. She wants a bike, helmet and an airplane so I guess you'll just have to wait to see pictures to see if Santa brings her what she wants.

Hope everyone has a good and safe holiday. Zack will have 11 days off of work and I will actually be going into work for a few hours here and there since we won't need a babysitter.

-4 degrees and -27 windchill...the trip to Walmart

Zack needed to get his oil changed so he bundled emma all up and took her with him because she wanted to go. It was just a little cold outside...hence the title of this blog.

~the $9.99 Gingerbread House~

The weather has been freezing, so yesterday I decided to go to Costco to get a few things including a gingerbread house kit. Emma was so excited and did a pretty good job.

Xmas pictures of the girls

We had Aunt Julie take some pictures of the girls this past weekend and they turned out just amazing.... here are a few for right now. More to come later!

Learning to draw:)

So here's a picture of "Grandma" that Emma drew.

The string of popcorn

So today I came up with this grand idea that we should put the tree up, decorate it... and put a string of popcorn on it. Let's just say that we won't do the string of popcorn again. Emma had a great time with it... but we did it for about 25 minutes and as you can see in the picture... that's all we did. It took forever! Anyways, Emma had quite abit of fun putting up the xmas tree tonight. She is such a good helper... (most of the time)... We ran to target afterwards because we had to run some movies and books back to the library, and I let her pick out 1 decoration for the tree... and she was just so excited to be around all the xmas decorations and told me that she wanted all of them.
