The Magic of Christmas

Just awake...
Seeing that Santa had filled our stockings
Santa ate the snacks we left...Maddie wanted to get him more pink juice!!

Dumping her stocking out

Santa brought ice skates...now Daddy gets to teach her to skate!!

Maddie opening Jack's gift from Santa!! I don't think there was a gift that she didn't help open. Much different than last year...lots of fun!!!

Opening more gifts...Elmo live also was left by Santa. Maddie must have been a really good girl this year.

Playing with toys. Everything had to be taken out of the box immediately so she could try it out.

Sit n Spin...didn't take her long to figure out how it worked!

We hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!!!

Time for us to switch to birthday mode...the big "2" is coming in a week!

Jack's First Christmas

Jack's 1st Christmas ornament...matches Maddie's from her 1st Christmas.

Too much Christmas...Jack had to take a little nap while Maddie opened presents

Playing with his new play gym from Santa

Love the new gym

Merry Christmas from our family!

Jack's 4 months old

Jackson turned 4 months old a couple of days ago. I took him for his check-up today. The little guy is at the top of the chart in weight and off the charts in height. We are right on track with everything and constantly rolling over.

Just a year ago

I found this outfit yesterday...still fits a year later! Maddie wore it for Christmas pictures last year.

Hockey Game

We went to the hockey game last night. The Coyotes lost to the Red Wings in a shoot out. It was a very exciting game, we just had to stay up late to see the end. I'm paying for it now as I beg Maddie to take a nap so she isn't crabby for pictures later today.

The little guy...he stays awake for most of the game.

Maddie...loves Howler (the mascot) and we have to have lots of snacks to keep her occupied to sit that long. I still think I see more of the game if we watch it on TV at home than going to the rink with 2 little kids :)
