Christmas Eve

Merry Christmas everyone! It is a silent night right now at our house, which allows me a few moments to write this blog. The girls are fast asleep, the presents are wrapped and the stockings are hung. We are excited for Christmas morning tomorrow! It has been a very busy few weeks for us - getting ready for the holidays has been a bit crazy and we also have lots of friends and family in town, which means lots of get togethers and outings. We need a vacation! The girls have hit a few milestones in the last couple of weeks - they refuse to eat baby food anymore and now only want adult food, they can both climb on the couch and even try to climb over it. They are both running and like to dance to music. They are keeping us busy and are so much fun. For Christmas eve tonight we went to church and enjoyed an amazing service with my mom, Heather and Brian. We followed that up with a fabulous four course dinner at Alan Wong's --- the girls were so well behaved and we really enjoyed the food and the time spent with our family. We've had an interesting month but we would like to remember all the things that we are thankful for---especially our family. Before it gets too late, I wanted to share some photos with you all.
