December

Our December was fun-filled as I'm sure everyone else's was too. Lots of fun festivities and Christmas in the making. For our advent calendar this year, we decided to do something each day instead of getting a small present, like candy. The girls had fun looking forward to each day.

As we were putting up the decorations, Savannah got to take a short nap in the Christmas tree skirt 

This summer the girls each colored on a nightshirt, but we didn't take pictures of the final product. Here they are...

Christine didn't do one, but still wanted a picture of her jammies.

Our brother-in-law received his PhD in December at Tennessee and we were able to be there. What a great accomplishment and lots of hard work!

Christmas dresses!!

We also made homemade gingerbread houses for the second time ever. It was fun and very delicious! Sugar overload!

I love this side, 1) because there was still candy on it the next day, 2) Mark made cool icicles, 3) The kiss in the middle, and 4) Christine's swirl art with M&Ms. 

The girls decided that she needed some friends.

My amazing OB, Dr. Joseph Tate. He delivered both these girls V-bac, which is saying something considering they were both my biggest babies. I'm grateful for his knowledge and willingness to only do a C-section if I really needed it.

Adriana

Christine was so excited to see Santa and her request was a lollipop.

Elena & Abigail also got to do a gymnastics performance and show off all they are learning.

Christine's first trip to the dentist. After watching her sisters, she knew just what to do. She had her mouth open like this right after she got in the chair. Too cute!!

Grandma and Grandpa came for Christmas!

More about Christmas in our next post.

November

November was a great month, filled of thankfulness, especially for our newest angel, Savannah Grace. We spend Thanksgiving with a family we have come to know this fall. Their daughter is in Adriana's class and the two have become great friends. We don't have a picture of our fabulous dinner, but plenty of other shots from the month.

Christine and her Kitty!

The Lecaques came to visit and see Savannah Grace. It was a beautiful weekend and the kids had fun playing together.

This is her next oldest cousin.

Newborn pictures

We got professional pictures done with Savannah when she was 9 days old. We are so excited for how they all turned out, especially this first one. We also got a few of the family too. Enjoy...
