December 31

Such a fun day with the girls today!  We headed to Storyville and had a blast.

Taking care of their babies.


Rocking in the boat.


Two little piggies selfie.


My little mail carrier.


Shopping at the grocery store.


In the tree house.  It was her favorite place to play because she could practice climbing up and down the steps a million times.


Pretending that she was stuck in the log.


Lunch at the "really cheesy noodle place" (Boston Market).  She was so excited.


Chowing down on corn bread.


I was folding laundry and Natalie decided to start making "hats out of Caitlin's underwear.


Silly girl got them stuck on her head.

Today was a dress-up kind of day.

Minnie mouse.


Riding a horse in her big pink tutu.


She did this all by herself. She put that newborn onesie on her head and says "Hat?" Such a funny girl!

Today was our last day in PA.  I took the girls to lunch at Chick fil-a, and they had so much fun playing on the indoor playground after lunch.


Silly girls.


Crazy girl.  I can't believe she climbed up there.


Checking out the new toys from Christmas that were left behind when we went to Grandmom and Granddad's house.


Bringing me a book to read, a frequent occurrence.

December 28

Reading "Brown Bear" (her favorite book right now) with Daddy.


Silly girl is always climbing all over him.


Ryan went outside to help Granddad with something, and she sat at the top of the steps saying "Dada?" over and over until he came back in.

Caitlin felt much better the next day, so we hopped onto StubHub to get some tickets for Saturday night's Frozen on Ice show.  She loved it so much, and I'm glad we were able to make it there with her.

December 26

Caitlin woke up in the middle of the night on Christmas night with a stomach bug, and we had tickets to see Frozen on Ice today! So, Natalie was my replacement date for Frozen on Ice.  She seemed to like it, but she definitely didn't appreciate it as much as Caitlin did.


Our little sickie was finally starting to feel better so we let her have some applesauce.

December 25

Merry Christmas!!  The girls got me a cute new winter hat for Christmas, but before I could wear it they both had to try it out.  Aren't they cute?





We had a great Christmas morning at home and then headed to PA to celebrate with Ryan's family.

We attempted a cousins picture, but first Andrew had to check out Natalie.  She was so patient with him.


The look on her face in this one and the next one just make me laugh.


Even Leah and Caitlin thought it was funny.


So cute.  They are going to be buds.


Giving Natalie a kiss (or just drooling on her face).


The girls.


All the cousins.  Love these four so much!

December 24

Stacey came to celebrate Christmas with us today, and the girls loved spending the day with her!


Merry Christmas Eve from the Serious Sisters.


Caitlin didn't want to go to church tonight because she didn't get to go to "church school" (her name for her Sunday School class), and Natalie was just plain serious.


Outside to leave food for Santa's reindeer. Natalie was not interested in feeding the reindeer.  She was more excited to be outside!


Right after she threw this handful of food, she fell on her butt. She was fine, but I got a good chuckle out of it.


Last night of our Advent calendar, and they were so excited about baby Jesus.

December 23

Caitlin had swim lessons tonight, and we took a field trip to a new train garden (at the Arbutus Fire Dept). Love these holiday traditions!

December 22

Saying "hat" and trying to put it on.


First cup of hot chocolate. It was a hit.

December 21

Checking out the deer in our backyard.


I thought this was the cutest picture of Natalie looking out the window at the deer. She looks like such a big girl in this picture!


Taking selfies with my phone.  She loved seeing herself on my phone. She stayed in her jammies all day because she had the stomach bug last night.  Poor baby.  She seemed to be on the mend today though.


The girls had gone down for nap, and I found this little party in the kitchen. I'm sure Caitlin set this up,  So cute.

December 20

Cuties in their matching slippers!

December 19

Opening their Christmas book tonight.


Showing me an ornament on the tree that has a picture of Caitlin on when she was Natalie's age and saying "Nat Nat" (how she says Natalie). Apparently, she too thinks that they look a lot alike at this age.
