Lily: 8 Months

A little late on this one... and with our camera broken, I-phone photos will have to do!

Christmas 2012

Better late than never, right? Part of the problem with getting this post together has been that our camera broke on Christmas eve, so we don't have many pictures from the holidays! Despite our camera breaking, we did have a great Christmas filled with family and friends. We celebrated Christmas eve with Grandma and Papa before church.

Jude was very excited about his large present- an air hockey table!

Lily was mostly interested in the wrapping paper and bows, but she did take a moment to appreciate the Raggedy Ann doll she received. After opening presents with Grandma and Papa, we headed to Christmas eve service at church. Both boys dressed up as shepherds this year.

After church, we had dinner with our friends Ruthie and Edward. Then it was time to head home and open one gift (new pajamas) and get ready for Santa!

Christmas morning came early... but considering we had to catch a mid-morning flight to Virginia, we didn't mind.

After opening all of our presents, we hurried out the door to the airport to spend a week with family in Virginia. It was a whirlwind of a morning, but fun!

It's Beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

We've been busy getting ready for Christmas! The boys have been out of school all week and we kept ourselves entertained with play dates, making gingerbread houses, wrapping presents and baking cookies.

I think we are ready for Santa to make his appearance!

Lily: 7 months

Lily's 7 months old now! She can sit up and rolls all around to get where she wants. She's still a great napper during the day and sometimes wakes once during the night. She doesn't have any teeth yet, but loves to try new foods. She is a very talkative baby- especially when other people are trying to talk!
