More Christmas!

Pictures of Christmas Eve and Day and Green Bay Christmas. Good times one and all. We ended up sleeping I think 6 days out of 8 at other people's places. Fun adventures! The pregnancy has gotten a bit rougher over the last couple days - again, just as with the girls' pregnancy, baby is completely fine, it's starting to get rough for me. Mostly the SPD pelvis separation thing. Makes it so almost no position is comfortable. Plus Kurt going back to work has meant more picking up and running after of toddlers. However, tomorrow I get a break - I'm heading to New Jersey to visit Meg and Dave for a few days. A nice relaxation time before baby comes to make our lives a little more, you know, full :-)

 Kerry tickles

 Going to pick out our Christmas tree

 Signe by the reindeer enclosure

 Independent Freya

 There she is (ps Kurt ended up just running up and getting the tree for us because it was clear there was no way we were all getting there, actually picking a tree, and bringing it back without tears from the cold (mine))

 Reindeer!

Freya gets close

 Diapering baby

 Hugzzz

 Goofballs

 Nana hug!

 Helping decorate the tree

 Proud of the French braid I did. Getting better every time! Still don't know what to do with Freya's hair other than one or two ponytails

They gave a bunch of ornaments to Ray

 Playing "fall down" on to the diaper pad

 Learning how to take pictures

 Reading time with Aunt Kerry

 Skype-ing in princess dresses with Aunt Lara

 Ring around the rosie (usually they just spin)

All fall down

 Making Christmas cookies with Papa

 Frosting with Daddy

 And finally decorating

 Watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas. They loved it!

They discovered the vent would blow their hair

 Christmas presents from Kerry!

 And then they got to tackle this one from Nana and Papa...

Bouncy horse!!!!

 Freya fell in love first and rode for about 15 minutes 

 Naked puzzlin

 Signe tries it out!

 Awww Christmas snuggles. They started knowing/remembering Chris' official name, that being King Muncle Jam Jam. They usually leave off the King part

I don't think either girl ate a single pistachio but they did enjoy helping shell them then giving them to sleeping Daddy

 More Christmas movies

 New place, same old routine. We stayed at the Wilson's house in Green Bay for 4 days and had a great time

 Everyone drawing together

 Playing with Tego, Alanah, and the puncher guy

 Sometimes you just need a break

 We came onto all 5 of the kids playing together peacefully!

The balloons at the Haag Christmas party were a big hit

 Decorating cookies for the contest

 Opening presents

 Reading a new book with Papa

 Baking with Leah. Yes four children all got to contribute. Can you tell Leah is a former day care worker?

 Alanah and Imani were kind enough to give Freya their Dora doll because she became so attached. She then got a ride on the girls' new bike

 Olive-ing like her Uncle Will

Signe thinks that's pretty silly
