Babies' First Christmas

Merry Christmas to All!
These are sample cards that the girls (and I) are models for. Char's website is: http:delightdesign.etsy.com if you want to check it out. She's also going to be doing digital scrapbook pages which are very cool!




























Christmas Morning.
Sammy loves her new cell phone!

Look! She's got her first tooth! Yay Sammy girl!















Lexxy is on the move...








































This photo was taken Christmas Eve at Jake and Theresa's after the ornament exchange. Too bad our whole family wasn't able to make it.

And, since I didn't have any red outfits for the girls, I thought their birthday suits worked just fine! Got to love that little bottom!!

These little headbands are so cute! My friend Stephanie bought them for the girls. We had to see if they fit...
















































Here are some photos of the girls crawling. They are all over the place and getting into everything!! Time to invest in some baby gates...

I had to stay home with the girls two weeks ago because they had pink eye and double ear infections. They were still in good spirits so I took these photos in front of the tree...

Photo Proof Link

Here is the link to some photos we had taken two weeks ago. I don't know how I'll pick which ones I want to buy. I might have to buy them all!!

These will only be up for about a week so make sure you check them out!!

I have more photos from the weekend to post soon, but haven't had time. The girls both had ear infections and pink eye over the weekend...We got most of our Christmas shopping done, but I still have a few things left to buy.

The girls are not only crawling, but crawling and trying to open drawers, cupboards, wrestling eachother, pulling hair and my mom and I both could have sworn we heard Sammy say, "That's good," "kitty kitty" and "oh yeah." Could they be talking already??

The Girls Are Crawling!

Lexxy crawled forward last night for the first time! Only a few days behind sissy! I will try and post some photos of them crawling soon...This stage scares me because soon the will be pulling themselves up and falling down a lot. I hate to see them all bruised up :~(

Seeing Santa for the First Time








Alexandra

























Sammy crawled forward for the first time today!! She drags one leg, but it is crawling nonetheless...Yay Sammy!! Are we ready for this??

(Samantha)










These red hats were made by a friend at work. Aren't they adorable??!! Good thing the girls are photogenic since we take their photos so often. I just can't resist!!






Samantha





















After the party we went and got the tree and decorated it on Sunday. The girls just love to look at the twinkling lights. We hung their Baby's First Christmas ornaments and Baby's First Christmas stockings. We didn't go crazy with decorations this year. It's kind of hard with two exersaucers, a jumperoo and various toys all taking up the living room, but at least we are a little festive now. We did some Christmas shopping online, but I still have quite a bit to do. Hopefully we will get that done in the next week. I hate last minute shopping.
The girls aren't quite crawling, but are getting soooo close!! Samantha was kind of doing the army crawl on Sunday so....any minute now!

(Alexandra)





















Well, we had quite the busy weekend. Saturday morning we had my multiples group Christmas party for the kids with Santa. It was fun to see everyone and all the cute kiddos in their holiday attire. I wasn't sure how the girls would react to Santa, but they were so cute!! They would just stare up into his face, so precious!!

Thanksgiving 2008

Well, this weekend the girls reached a ton of milestones! They both started crawling backwards, they both started waving, but usually won't do it on command, Sammy started holding her own bottle and she said mama (it was more like mamamamama).

We had a photographer come out to the house Sat. morning to take some Christmas photos of the girls. The were not feeling well and weren't happy at all. We're not sure if it was the flu or teething or what, but they sure felt yucky all weekend...They started to feel better late Sunday afternoon so I took these photos.

Awww....












Well, it was the girls' first Thanksgiving. We went to my sister Rachel's house and had a wonderful dinner and hung out most of the day. It was great to spend the day with family and play with the girls. Friday after Thanksgiving we went to Kevin's sister Melanie's house for dinner again. She had a houseful. It was great to see everyone and to meet his newest second cousin, Ezekiel. He is such a cutie!

Mother of Twins Prayer

Mother of Twins Prayer

There's two to wash,
There's two to dry;
There's two who argue,
There's two who cry.
One's in the mud, Having a ball;
The other holds a crayon... Another marked wall.
Some days seem endless, My patience grows thin.
Why did God choose me To be a mother of twins?
The answer comes clear- At the end of the day,
As I tuck them in bed And to myself I say... T
here's two to kiss, There's two to hug;
And best of all, Thank You, God, for two to love.

Halloween 2008






































































































When I picked up the girls from daycare on Halloween, they were both wearing these cute little spider hats that Darlene had made for them. They made me laugh!! They look like little reggae girls.




Trick or Treat! Don't they look like they're having the time of their life??!!! We just took them out for about an hour in our neighborhood. They got mom and dad lots of yummy candy. We just loved showing them off :)






The girls sure made Halloween a lot of fun. The Saturday before Halloween, we picked up Justice, went to my multiples group Fall Festival and then picked up my niece, Breanna, and went to Boo at the Zoo. I thought this might be a little much for one day with two infants, but they did really good. We were all exhausted by the end of the day, but we had a lot of fun! I wish we would have taken more photos at the zoo, but it was sooo busy...
