Christmas Round 3

We had such a wonderful Holiday season this year with so much to celebrate. It was great to see lots of family and friends and Skylar has thoroughly enjoyed all the extra attention. The girls got way too much cute stuff for Christmas and Sky has been playing with all her new toys and books. Gigi came to visit for a week and got to spend lots of quality time with Skylar and Savannah and experience the crazyness that is our life right now. Opening presents with Gigi

Gigi let us go out for a wonderful dinner on New Year's Eve. We had a dinner gift card from Christmas and a free babysitter- can't get any better than that!!

Smiles

Savannah has started smiling! She is still not smiling very often, but Ty was able to catch one with his camera phone. Daddy gets most of the smiles- he has the magic touch.

Christmas

We had a wonderful day with Mimi and the girls on Christmas. We kept it low key and enjoyed just being at home together. The girls got lots of fun presents and cute outfits.

Santa

This was our second attempt to see Santa at the mall this year. Our first try there was a really long line but we decided to wait anyway. Then, they cut the line off right in front of us and said Santa needed to take a break. O well, we got to see him the next day and her reaction was so sweet. She turned around and just looked at him and then she said "hhhiiiii!" We didn't think tiny Savannah should sit on Santa's lap just yet, but she did come along for her first trip to the mall and did great.

Christmas with Ty's family

We had a whirlwind Christmas weekend with Tyler's family. We got snowed in all weekend and got to do lots of hanging out, eating, and opening presents. We were so happy that everyone finally made it after Mimi and Uncle Jack got stuck in the snow overnight on I-81. It was a terrible trip for them and we were so appreciative that everyone made the effort to come over and see baby Savannah and celebrate Christmas with us. We ended up getting a little over a foot of snow. It was beautiful to watch once we knew Mimi and Jack were safe!

We spent lots of time in our PJs over the weekend

I love these two pictures! Here is Ty coming outside to see what I am doing and to check out the snow. And....here he is running back inside 30 seconds later when he realized how cold it was outside!

Christmas crazyness! Look at all the pretty presents. Tyler's family always wraps the best looking presents that I never want to open because they are too pretty.

Uncle James and Sky. She loves all of her uncles!

"Kae Kee! Kae Kee!"

Skylar loves her Aunt Katie! She came to visit and help out a few weeks ago and we had a great time. Skylar was trying to say Katie and kept saying "Kae Kee! Kae Kee!" She was so proud of herself too. Katie couldn't believe how tiny Savannah was and how crazy our life is going to be now for a little while! Tyler was awesome and kept both girls a couple times so that Katie and I could hang out.

Here we are before Katie and I went out one night. I look so tired! I was thinking in my head how I should just stay home and sleep and then within 5 minutes of leaving the house and having some fun music on and thinking about the yummy sushi we were about to have- I was good to go. It was exactly what I needed. It is amazing how just doing something normal that doesnt revolve around babies can be so good for your spirit. We got our second wind and had fun drinking, eating, and shopping and shut down the mall, then Ross, then Target. Thanks Tyler and Katie for being so wonderful and helping me survive!

Super cheesin for the camera!
