Happy New Year!

We drove home from Robin's house on Saturday morning and spent the rest of the day cleaning up from Christmas while the kids rediscovered their Christmas presents. Pepper's Rapunzel doll came with a matching dress up dress. She LOVES being twins with her doll. I got a great video of her dancing around in it that will come shortly. I promise!
Hazel and Avery on New Year's Eve. This picture shows the state of our life right now. We invited two couples over to celebrate the new year. We ate lots of yummy food, chatted and played games and this is the only picture I took. Avery is about four weeks older than Hazel.
I spent sometime the other day while holding Hazel waiting for a smile. I finally got this one and then of course as soon as I took it she gave me a big open mouth one. Oh well, she's pretty cute no matter the size of the smile.

Hazel has discovered the joys of sucking on her hands. Only problem is she can't control them so she has to just hope she can catch them whenever they fly by. This is an awkward photo but a great shot of her chubby cheeks. She's our kid alright!
On Monday afternoon, we turned Pepper's crib into a day bed. Over this vacation she discovered she could get out of her pack n play. I wasn't too worried until we got home and she discovered she could do the same with her crib. So we decided she was old enough to call it good and keep her from hurting herself. Next stop is potty training. My little girl is getting so big!

Pepper is very proud of her new bed, which apperently makes her wake up early from things because nap time and mornings are not quite as happy and peaceful as they used to be. Ugh!

Morgan's picture of Pepper when I wasn't watching my camera. Pretty good.

Morgan and Pepper getting ready for their first sled ride in our backyard. I am so glad this weather waited until we were home from our travels. Such a blessing!
So our backyard provides a great sledding hill for little kids but unfortunately we need to work on the stop. Morgan thought it was funny but Pepper was not amused by this ending to her fun ride. I had to stand at the bottom after this and kick them off to the side at the end. We'll need to come up with another plan.

Oh...you are brave! I have decided that when Maizy decides to climb out of her crib, I am buying a tent to put on top of it...good luck!
