Merry Christmas!

Ah, a rare peaceful moment when both kids are napping, and what am I doing?  Blogging. Oh well.  I don't want to get behind!  :)

It got colder this week, so we bundled up and even got snow for a real White Christmas!



Other Christmas preparations:  seeing Santa twice in the same day (once at the library and once at the zoo) and more Christmas cookies.

This is usually a dripping grotto at the zoo.  It's very transformed by the cold with 3-4 foot long icicles!  It was pretty cold at the zoo, but lots of animals didn't seem to mind.

Okay - on to Christmas Day and sibling pictures!


Some of Owen's favorite gifts:



Some of Hadley's favorites:

Other news:
I decided, somewhat fittingly, to start Owen's potty-training on the supposed apocalypse (12-21-12), mostly because both parental units would be around the house for a solid week.  So far, pretty good.  We've had a few incidents, but that's to be expected.  Our bribery, er reward, system seems to be working for the most part!

And Hadley continues to roll on.  I put her down on the pink blanket and stepped into the kitchen for a few minutes only to find her way over by the couch.  On her tummy, she even scoots forward a few inches dragging her head along the floor.  Watch out world!

I call these her crazy eyes.  :)

    1. We have a Down East store here that carries the Pottery Barn's monogram rejects. Every once in a while, I find a monogrammed item that actually has the right name! For some others, I take it to a monogramming place in town for a little switch-a-roo. :)
