Ho Ho Ho

I just love Christmas! It's even more fun this year since we get to do so many fun things with the babies during the holidays. They decided to wear their Christmas t-shirts to small group this week. Jake's has a snowman on it & says "I'm an ice guy." Mal's has a gingerbread man & says "Smart Cookie."
It was really cold on Wednesday, so I bundled them up to leave, & then I just thought they looked hilarious. Jake thought his coat was funny, & he laughed the entire time I was trying to get it on him.
We headed to the mall yesterday to have pictures made with Santa. We bought one from the photographer that's really cute, but I haven't scanned it in yet. Here's one of the ones we took on our camera.
Chris & Michelle met us there to take Caroline to see Santa. She sat there for a minute, studied Santa intently & then burst into tears.
Aunt Debbie made this Christmas countdown calendar for the twins. They each get a gingerbread cookie each day in December until they get to the big cookies for Christmas day. Since they're still on an all-milk diet, Mommy & Daddy get to "help" them eat their cookies this year. This was a tradition for J & his siblings growing up, & I'm so glad Jake & Mal will get to continue it. Thanks Aunt Debbie!Nana gave them these onesies & socks. In case you can't see it, Jake's says "santa baby" on the front & "ho ho ho" on the back. Mal's says "silent night?" on the front & "up all night!" on the back.We'll have lots more Christmas fun to share in the next few weeks, but I wanted to go ahead & post these. Happy shopping to everyone still scrambling for gifts like I am!
