Fun things!

Just a few pics of what we have been doing before Christmas!

Christmas at church...always beautiful!

I got to go to walker's class to help make Gingerbread houses. Lots of fun!

and of course making one at the house. I think Reese ate more than she put on!

Christmas Pictures

Here is a few Christmas pictures my sister took for us! Enjoy!

Ivy's checkup

Ivy had her 9 month checkup this past week. She weighed 17 lbs (25%) and was 28in long (75%). Of course she failed her gross motor skills again but I am not worried. She failed them at her 6 month check but eventually caught up. One thing we are watching is her neck. If you see her sweet head in the picture below there is a small turn in her neck, which they call torticollis. We have been doing some exercises for this but need a little help, so we are going to see a physical therapist on Monday.

Christmas Parade

This past Friday our church had a float in the Roseboro Christmas parade. Our whole family was able to ride along. It was really cold but we had a great time!

Nine months

Ivy is now Nine Months old!

Baby Jesus

The kids got an early Christmas present today. After their bath they got to open a gift I wanted them to enjoy before Christmas. We got them the little people Manger Set. It is so cute and they loved it. Reese loves Baby Jesus! Every time we see a manger or a picture of baby Jesus she gets so excited and just looks at him forever. I love to watch her.

And of course she loved this Baby Jesus. She got Him and sat on the couch and rocked him to sleep while she sang. I pray that this passion for Christ will always be in her. She is my sweet sweet little girl.

This is how it sits now. Walker fixed it so that they are all watching Jesus!

Our Stockings

The Stockings are Hung!! They came in the mail today and I couldn't wait to open them. I had been looking and looking for the perfect stocking for our family. I found these at L.L Bean and the best part of it all I found a great coupon code to make a great price. I can't wait to stuff them!!

Christmas

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!! We got out the Christmas stuff this past week and the kids had a blast. They loved putting up the stockings and decorating the tree. Reese was old enough this year to put on the ornaments and loved doing it. She put all the ornaments in one spot and would say "look mommy, look daddy" She was so proud of herself. We enjoyed watching her.

Walker and Reese both have a tree in their room. They got to fix it up all by themselves!
