Hershel

Hershel tuckered out after Christmas Morning.


He's trying to figure out how to use the booster seat to climb onto the couch.


For some reason he likes the Roomba. He ends up turning it on and will chase it!


His favorite place to sleep was under the tree.

Christmas

Well, Needless to say this holiday season has been Crazy Busy!!! I think we are finally getting back to normal around here! We had Christmas at Papa and Tutu's (my dad and stepmom) and couple days early. We ate so much and it was so yummy. Then the kids got to open their presents. Emma and Maggie both got Carhart Overalls, which is great cause they can use them while playing outside, or while camping, which we've been doing a lot of. Emma also got her Swim Baby she has been wanting for months! She was very excited about her Swim Baby.

Maggie also got a ride on poney, but she was very excited about her overalls. This is her saying "cheese" but it comes out "AAAAAHHHH"




Christmas Eve was first spent at Nanny and Grandpa's (my mom and stepdad). Again, we as a fabulous meal, and too much of it! The kids got to open their gifts. Emma got My Little Ponies, one of which was a really cool Scooter! And Maggie got a Baby and a V-Tech toy. She loves that darn baby. She's been feeding it, giving it her juice, and tucking her in at night.









Then came Christmas Morning at our house. We recorded them getting the gifts from Santa, so I don't have pictures of that. These are pictures of the girls opening gifts from Granny and Pop (Matt's parents) when they came by.  They stayed and at Christmas Lunch with us. By the end of the day Mommy and Daddy were exhausted!!!!


Things are getting back to normal around here. The decorations are all put up. The laundry is finally getting caught up. And I'm trying to keep everything in order so I don't have to do it all before Matt and I leave on our cruise. We're going with two of our close friends on The Rock Boat. It's a cruise with different bands on board and it's 5 days of concerts and ports of call. We're going to the Bahamas. Matt and I are both ready for this much needed vacation!
