We had such a wonderful Christmas this year. The kids really seemed to get the idea of presents and Santa. They were so excited that we had a hard time getting them to go to bed the night before and they slept ridiculously late. Uncle Jimmy and Aunt Ginny came by with presents for the kids and they loved them. Uncle Jimmy got Ben a Nerf Rifle that he took great pleasure in chasing his sister with, and I think she is the only one who can actually use it! Mommy of course has a conniption about a gun, but hindsight -- was just being ridiculous. They loved all the gifts and especially the dinosaur stuff from mom-mom and pop-pop. It was great to have Jim and Gin over and mom-mom and pop-pop were lots of fun. I uploaded all the pictures -- uncensored too! - to the link on the right so feel free to see the madness and mayhem! Happy New Year to you!

BRU Christmas Portraits
I have to tell the story of the Babies R Us portrait studio. I was shopping with Ben late at night and the photographer asked if she coud take some practice pics of Ben. I was just finishing up and figured, why not? Well, she did an amazing job! So I made an appointment for them both to go hoping for one nice shot of each kid. I did not expect what I received. They were able to get Ben and Maddie to look at the camera at the same time and smile! They did such an amazing job that I had to post about it. Here are the Christmas portraits taken by the Babies R Us in Exton. Hooray!
The Puppet Show!
Since the kids seemed interested in puppets, we tried making them and have a show. Mommy made the first one and then the kids made theirs and kept asking for Mommy's pieces to add to their puppets. As such, they all wound up looking alike. Here are some pictures of the finished products.

Happy Halloween!
We had a lot of fun with Haloween this year. It rained, but we did not plan on canvassing the neighborhood. I was hoping that my little girl would want to be anything even remotely girly, but alas, it was not to be.
I tried princesses and TV characters, NOPE! She wanted to be a dinosaur! Ben had his Clifford costume, and I hope she would want to be Cleo or Emily Elizabeth, but the dinosaur stuck. Christian had fun pulling the Star Wars costume out again and loved dragging the wagon behind him. (which still amazes me! It gets heavy, but he refuses to let it go! ) We all had a great time and the little kids also got to hit Mom-mom and Pop-pop's house as well!!
