Family Pictures

My dear friend Miranda was kind enough to take some family pictures for us year. I didn't want to go get professional ones done until Noah arrived and I could get some of the 3 kids together. She offered and since she takes REALLY good pictures, I thought it was a wonderful idea. Here are my favorites. I know there are lots of them, but you should see how many she actually took. :)

They were taken on November 24th...


































December Fun...

Boy, did December go by fast! It was probably all the stuff we had going on with Christmas and getting ready for the baby, but it zoomed by. We tried to make lots of fun memories too since the girls would have to share some attention soon.

Here they are watching a video that Santa made for each of them telling them they were on the nice list...Eric and I are not really into the whole Santa is real thing, but it is a fun part of Christmas just the same and the girls like Santa for the moment. :)


We had fires in the fireplace on the colder days. This was my rocking chair as a child and I remember sitting in front of a fire with a blanket and toy as well.
There were many sister hugs and snuggles...
There was even some wrestling with Daddy...
And did you know that blue blankets are also swimming pools :)
We enjoyed birthday parties for friends at Chick-Fil-A. First picture is Lilly, then Lexi...

Tea party time at the children's museum in Waco...
We dressed up at the museum. Lilly was a postal worker, police woman. :)

Lexi wants to be a "girl firefighter" when she grows up and was thrilled to see these play clothes at the museum.
After the museum, we went to visit our friend Margaret. The girls got a ride on her walker-chair thing...
3 sweet girls
Lilly pretended Margaret's cane was a microphone and she was a rockstar...
The girls were spoiled with presents from friends. These were new owl masks from Miranda! They wear them all the time now.
There was an abundance of morning snuggles
And getting ready for Christmas pictures with cousins!
Lexi practiced dressing herself :)
And we had some umbrella fun...
Always make time for kisses!
Awwww!
Winter has been mild so far, so we played outside as much as we could.
Lilly...

Have I mentioned that these are the sweetest girls ever?!!
One of Daddy's Christmas presents made for some fun playtime...

More fun times with the warm weather...
Innocent Lilly
We went to the Cameron Park Zoo a few times. We always have fun times at the zoo...
Sister love...
One time we even met some awesome friends at the zoo!

We had a good time at the circus,
Eric and Lilly
Lexi clearly likes clowns...
I am so thankful for all our family memories and look forward to many more with 3 kids instead of 2!
