Christmas Part II

Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. We had so much fun and are so lucky to be surrounded by loving family.

Christmas presents!

Loving the jack in the box

And the sock monkey

Freya stomping on a present

She really loves that monkey

This reminds me of Max in Where the Wild Things Are

Sunglasses from, guess who...

Cool Aunt Kerry 

Who wears them better??

You expect me to wear these?!

Suspicious of bath dolly (she can go in the bath)

And decides she loves her

Interested in the self-closing eyes. I adored them when I was a kid myself.

Freya has two spray bottles - they were part of a gift to us but the babies were obsessed with them 

Lily's interested in the ball too

Christmas Part I

Welch Christmas and some playtime pictures. Nice we got to see Cousin Ryan who with his wife Alex is expecting the girls' next second cousin! That means we'll really need to find a way to get out to California with the girls...

Freya with various lovely presents

Opening presents

Fancy breakfast thanks to Daddy being home - Signe with all her waffles in one hand

Climbing fun

Bathtime

More Welch Christmas

Suspicious?

Freya loved the remote. The guys eventually had to take out the batteries so she would stop changing the channel

She looks so tall!

Thanks for sharing Signe

Freya and Great-Grandpa

Love these toys

Blocks!

It's Beginning to Blizzard a Lot Like Christmas

We enjoyed the pre-Christmas blizzard - Kurt was off work and school so we just got to hunker down and enjoy family time. I got to use the snowblower for the first time ever, before the snow overwhelmed it. We took the girls out to see the snow for a couple minutes but it was too cold and windy for them to really enjoy it.

Then we got ready for and celebrated a couple Christmases - pictures to come.

At Kurt's work's holiday party - she's entertained by a picture of me :-)

Snow just beginning to come down

A little cuddle time

Heeeey!

I'm in a clementine box and I love it

Signe trying to steal some of Freya's dinner

Snow!

Cuddled up for the blizzard

They were both in the basket for a second, Signe left as I saw them and grabbed my camera, to Freya's delight

Snowsuited Signe

First sled ride

Go Daddy go

Queen Freya waving to her subjects

Whoops our parking job needs work

Sleds adjusted, Mommy ready for picture - aw too much wind and snow for babies to open eyes

There it is!

At least all the snow made it easy to prop them up without fear of them falling over due to their snowsuits

Aaaaand ready to go back inside
