Happy New Year

Hope you've all had a blessed Christmas and New Year season-I know our little family has!  For some updates: Marcy is 2 1/2 yrs old and talking up a blue streak! She loves to help her dad with the axlotl tanks in the basement and sometimes even will help out with Diana.  Over the Christmas season we conquered having the girls share a bedroom and they both finally sleep through each other noises and sleep through the night!!!!!!  How about some stats:  Marcy is 2 1/2 yrs, 67% in weight for height at 33 lbs and Diana is 10 mos old, a measly 70% for weight at 21 lbs 3 oz and fairly tallish.  Neither one of my girls has been below the 90% mark so I'm starting to be worried:)  Diana is crawling all over the place-I have some sort of mom homing device because now no matter where I go in the house she is not far behind me:) She and Marcy are starting to play together and "wraasling" which is really fun to watch the two of them roll around giggling!
Christmas tree hunting!!  We didn't even cut one down, we walked up and picked up a leaning one:)

Karolyn, the kids, and I were Grandpa's Christmas fairies setting up and taking down his decorations and then we all go out to eat to Mc Donalds.  His favorite cuisine around!!!

Willie did it!!!!!  We are all so proud of you!!!





 This is Marcy's first time painting-she got a jewelry box that you could decorate with glitter and jewels and paint.  She LOVED doing it:)

 Diana is still a very smiley baby!!!  The 'baby' tree is because Marcy was horrified that we had to get a HUGE Christmas tree and she loves everything to be 'baby' which means tiny.  So we thought we'd give the girls their own tiny 'baby tree:)  Below is my first attempt at a homemade wreath-poor lighting but it looked beautiful!!!
 THe girls got a kitchen for Christmas and LOVE it.  It was pretty sweet when Marcy figured out that "I have one and you have one Mom-its the same!' It was pretty cute.
Karl's visit to Mayo was successful so he thought he'd celebrate??? :)

And finally I am being creative ish and making the girls some monograms for above their beds.  Marcy (who we thought didn't know any of her alphabet) said M is for Marcy AND mom.  So I asked her if D is for Diana and she said nope its for Daddy:)
