Queen Mandy

We had fun playing dress-up this morning. Olivia saw no reason why Mandy should be left out, just because she's a dog.

Sleeping Beauty

The girls had a blast on Christmas. Isabelle had so much fun that fell asleep on the way home and refused to wake up. She slept like this for 45 minutes, and then it took a lot of work to wake her.

Christmas day

Here are the girls opening presents at Grandma Lynn and Grandpa Bob's house on Christmas.

Rudolph noses

Santa left a Rudolph nose in mommy's stocking, but I think it was much more fun for the girls!

Presents

Opening presents on Christmas eve was great fun!

Holidazzle

Here's a shot of Mike and the girls at the Holidazzle parade. They really enjoyed it!

James

Our friends Lisa and her new baby James came over for a visit last Wednesday. The girls had a great time adoring James! (So did mommy and daddy.)

Snow play

The girls were excited for their first play in the snow this year! Olivia had a blast, but Isabelle just isn't sure what she thinks of snow yet.

Gingerbread house

Isabelle made her first gingerbread house at ECFE last week, and was very proud of it!

Birth families

We celebrated Christmas with the girls' birth families last weekend. What a blessing to have them in our lives!

Christmas program

Olivia was in the Sunday school Christmas program last Sunday. She was so proud of herself!

Decorating

The girls decorated most of our Christmas tree this year. All the ornaments are on about 4 brancehs, but we think it's beautiful!

More Thanksgiving

Here are some more shots from Thanksgiving at Auntie Stef's.
