Christmas- Dec. 25

We had a pretty quiet Christmas this year. We spent a lazy morning kind of sleeping in and just enjoy the kids. The kids are at the fun stage where they really enjoyed Christmas. They were so fun to watch! (There are a ton of pics. Many of Tenzing because it is his 1st Christmas and hardly any of Cali because that girl never sits still.)

Tenzing loving his Baby Zoobie. (It's a little blurry, but I love his face.)

Eating our traditional Christmas breakfast- cinnamon rolls, yogurt, milk/eggnog.

Tenzing wishing everyone a Merry Christmas!

Tenzing and his new car mat that he loves.

Pretty much how are days are- Cali running around and everything being a blur.

How Tenzing prefers to open his presents.

Christmas Pajamas- Dec. 25

My parents sent all the kids pajamas for Christmas and they just love them. Tenzing didn't like posing for the pictures though, and took off every time we set him down.

Christmas Eve- Dec. 24

With 3 young kids, our traditional reading of the Christmas story in the New testament for Christmas Eve needed to be changed up a bit. We have this fabulous Nativity of finger puppets that we decided to use. As I read the story, Jethro and the kids acted out the story with the finger puppets. They loved it and I think it is a tradition that we will carry on.

Snow fun!- Dec. 21

We got a ton of snow and Jethro took the kids outside to shovel. He had gotten the girls their own snow shovels which they love, especially Cali. Katya lasted about 10 minutes and I think Cali lasted a couple of hours. She loves being in the snow, just like Jethro.

• You are having a hard time sleeping and wake up between 3 and 4:30 each morning. I'm not quite sure why, but it might be the teeth.
• You have a really hard time with teething- you get super cranky, runny nose, and a hard time sleeping. Don't worry, it'll pass.
