A New Train Set from Aunt Carolyn and Uncle Rich

Aunt Carolyn came over today with her Christmas present for the kids. She brought Brandon more tracks! And for the first time, he let us set the tracks on the train table! We played all evening!

We have a tooth!!! actually 2!

Karly's first tooth came on her 6 month birthday 12/15/11, and her SECOND tooth came in on 12/26/11! She's been a trooper, but everything really goes in the mouth now!

It's Christmas!

Merry Christmas Everyone! We had a very queit Christmas with just the 4 of us. We had brunch Christmas day at Doug's parents house, but other than that it was a nice little family Christmas.

After Santa Arrived!
A happy Karly, she got lots of age appropriate toys!

Jump Brandon Jump!

we tried several times to get a shot of them together infront of the tree in their PJ's, FAILED this is as close to a decent one...

Because I love you, you can play with my trampoline too

Wrapping up Christmas by eating cookies and watching "UP"

Merry Christmas to all!!

Christmas Eve

We decided to go to the earlier service since it was design for kids. They called for all children to come up and hear a story. Brandon followed his friend up to hear, but all he did was get up look at the story turn around and run down the steps. You can see Brandon front and center with his bottle (gave it to him to keep him "quiet" didn't work so well)

This is Karly in her Christmas Eve outfit. She played baby Jesus in the later service.

I can't stop Laughing!

Karly is 6 months old!

Little Miss Happy is 6 months old now! She weighs 19.6. Almost the same size Brandon was at this age. Pictures are from my cell phone.

This was on our christmas card, the two of them have become so close. Brandon is very protective of her, checking on her when she's asleep and gives lots of hugs and kisses. (that's probably why Karly has had so many colds!)

I love this picture!! He really loves Santa, just not the real one!
