Happy New Year

A couple shots of everyone playing on the floor. The last shot is how Lily dressed herself for bed. Two different pjs and a tutu. I removed the 15 books she had in bed with her. So cute, except for the fact that she has been up, so have I, since 430 this morning.

Hello Mr. Crab

Tate is 15 weeks old and he did two great new things today.  He rolled over from his back to his belly - to say hello to Mr. Crab, and he slept 11.5 hours last night.  It was a wonderful Christmas present for all of us.  

Lily also slept 11.5 hours in her big girl bed last night.  The bed is here to stay, and we have removed the crib completely.  Now we just need the door knob covers to come in, because someone in the last 4 days has discovered how to open doors.  

Lily makes me laugh.

Ok, so maybe we are posting too many Tate videos today, but this is just great.  Lily came home from school and got a cupcake for sleeping all night long in her big girl bed.  Tate was watching her eat, and apparently thought it was hilarious.  He was laughing so hard.  It went on for a long time.  That little boy sure does love his big sister.  If you look closely, you can see a tear in Daddy's eye - he was so happy during this whole thing.  

What we've been doing.

So for the last 2 days we've done a ton. We went to see Santa. Here's a before shot to prove the kids were happy. Then we decorated for Christmas. Cooked 4 dishes for Thanksgiving. Bought and put up a new tv for the kids. And, lastly, rearranged the playroom, once again.
