It's hard to believe the girls will be 2 1/2 next month! It sure has gone by fast. Each stage has its challenges and each stage some things get easier. The girls are talking in full sentences. It is fun to listen to them talk. Sometimes I just can't wait to hear what they will say next. Lexxy is very talkative and she likes to tell stories. It's so cute! On the way back from vacation, Sammy was squealing in the car and Lexxy says, "No more screaming! I SAID, no more screaming!" They both make us laugh every day. They are truly a blessing!!
We started potty training last Wednesday. So, we are still in week 1 and the girls are doing incredible! Thanks for all the advice from my friends, we waited until they were ready and they are really ready! They have had a few accidents here and there, but are now starting to be dry during naps and travel to/from daycare. We chose to go straight to big girl panties rather than use pullups. It has worked great. There were two evenings that they made quite a few messes but now they are down to 0-1 accidents. We use pullups for traveling and since we still have diapers left, we are using diapers at night. Sometimes they go every 5 minutes and it is total chaos at our house with us running around wiping bottoms here and there, but they are getting the hang of it. It will be nice to be diaper free!
We have taken the girls' high chairs from the bar stools and moved them to regular chairs so they can eat at the table with us. They really like this and think that they are big girls now! :) They are also drinking out of big girl cups and making fewer messes with eating.
They love motorcycles, airplanes, big trucks, etc. They can spot them or hear them way before any one else. Their Uncle Gary has a harley and they saw him ride off on it in Bremerton on vacation and they are still talking about their "Uncle Gary ride motorcycle, noisy."
Still am in shock that we have this photo, that the girls sat on Santa's lap, that Sammy is even giving him a hug! I figured we would have the same photo as last year. One with Santa, then me kneeling next to the girls who are no where near Santa. HA! They proved me wrong... I have to thank the cute little elf though. There was this sweet little elf that came and sat down with the girls while we were waiting our turn and told the girls how nice Santa was and they sat on his lap and we were able to get a few photos. Maybe next year, we can get them smiling. Yeah right!
These photos were taken at Festival of Trees. The girls and I had so much fun!
Our 3 girls together!
Justice is trying to get them to look at the camera... Good luck!
All 3 of our beautiful girls! They had SO much fun!
Justice was able to go to the party with us this year. Doesn't she look beautiful??!!

This is a photo of the girls right before we went to my multiples group Christmas party. Giving eachother a sweet hug! They are ready to see Santa!
All done!
Lexxy posing for the camera while Sammy is dancing around crazy and not cooperating at all!
Sammy concentrating on getting her ornament on the tree just right.
Lexxy trying to get as many ornaments in one spot that she can :)
It was hard to get both girls in these two pictures, but somehow we did it!!
The girls had fun playing in the leaves this year. They really liked helping daddy pick them up. Even though we didn't get much done before the snow came...
