Our Holiday Blessing

On Tuesday, we had a 16 week ultrasound. This was an ultrasound scheduled not by the doctor but by the utlrasound tech. At 12 weeks she was 70% sure that they baby was a girl. She wanted to be 100% sure so, she told us to come back in. Much to our surprise, she didn't charge us for this ultrasound saying that it was her Christmas gift to us!! I was kind of concerned if our insurance would cover a non-needed ultrasound. So, we weren't surprised when it was confirmed that our 3rd girl is on the way! Healthy, growing, and already kicking her mom!! We are truly blessed!!

A Very Merry Christmas

This was a wonderful Christmas for our family. We celebrated with Ma Ma and Pa Pa, and Uncle Ryan. The festivities began on Christmas Eve with dinner and present opening at the grandparents house. As usual we all made out like bandits!
On Christmas morning, we awoke to see that Santa had arrived and left many presents under the tree!! We were very excited to see that Santa ate all the cookies we left for him and the reindeer ate most of the carrots. The girls sure know how to make one feel good for the presents bought. The comment as each girl opened a present were "Wow! Just what I wanted!" Santa was very good to us again this year!!

Cookies at Grandma's

To continue the tradition, we went over to Ma Ma and Pa Pa's house for cookie making today. It gets more and more fun every year. This is was especially fun because both girls really got into decorating. Of course they ate more frosting and sprinkles than were put on the cookies but they still had so much fun!

Christmas Program

Ava had her Christmas performance the other night. As you can tell, she wasn't quite into it. Not sure why. It could have been because she didn't know the words-she only goes to school on Tuesdays and Thursday so she didn't have much time to learn the words, or it could have been because she was getting a cold. Who knows. So, because she was barely singing, I had to post this video. Watch the poor little boy standing next to her.



Aren't the holiday's the best? I hope that Ava doesn't get his germs but maybe he got them from her. Poor kid. Especially since I am posting it on my blog. Ava still talks about Jackson throwing up. And since this happened during the morning performance, the girls fought over who was going to tell Mike about it when he got home!

Molly's Tumbling

Tuesday was Molly's last day of Tumbling. She absolutely loved every minute of it. They not only learned a lot of gymnastics skills, but they had circle time and played instruments. It was a great thing for Molly and Mommy to do while Ava is in school. We will miss Ms. Michelle and all of our new friends.

Just had to share....

Ice Skating

Not sure where Ava got the idea but she is asking Santa for ice skates. I decided to let her try out skating to see if she even likes it before I invest in a pair. The weather on Sunday was beautiful so we went to an outside rink. We skated in sweatshirts! No coats needed!! Both girls did great skating. Molly really got into it and Ava was fine as long as she had someone or something to hold onto. The did get tired very quickly and both took great naps! I think that we all could get into skating as a fun family hobby!
