My Little Angels

Both girls took naps today! In their beds!!! At the same time!!! For more than 30 minutes!!! I got to take one too!!!!

Maggie woke a lot last night, so I am glad we got some rest today.
Lucy played with her toys for about an hour and then conked out.

Oh Christmas Tree

After a great deal of effort, we got our Christmas tree up last week. Jon likes to have a real tree so he picked one up on his way home from work last Wednesday. We got out the decorations only to find that the lights were burt out. We tried to do the whole switch one out at a time, but neither Lucy nor Maggie thought this was a good idea. Lucy grabbed the lights and started running in circles. Maggie just screamed for attention. So we bought new ones and I put the ornanents on the tree from 11pm-1am Friday night. It was all worth it though. Lucy loves the tree. There is also a small fake one in her room that she likes. We are having about the same luck with Christmas cards. Our printer is broken so I need to venture to Kinkos to print the letter. Hopefully I can get that done tonight. And Jon thoughtfully pointed out that some of the address labels I used had his name mispelled. Well crap! That's what I get for being cheap and using the free ones from our insurance agent.

Not-a-smile

Right before this picture, Maggie was smiling and mimicking me. As soon as I got the camera she decided she didn't want to play anymore.

Hanging out while I help Lucy go to the potty.

Cheese....good one. Lucy pretends that one of her toys is a camera. She will say, "cheese" then look at the toy and say "good one." It is really funny.

From Thanksgiving

Lucy enjoying some peaches and the Thanksgiving parade on TV.

Maggie in her festive 1st Thanksgiving shirt.

Jon and Linda did all of the cooking. New Mommy didn't have to lift a finger :).

Everything turned out wonderful.

Smile boys.

Snug as a bug

Maggie is one cuddly baby. She likes to be held even more than Lucy did (that's a lot!) So, in a effort to be more efficient with my time I bought a sling carrier for Maggie to ride in. Today is the first time I have used it, and Maggie loves it! She has been snoozing away as I make beds, play with Lucy, eat lunch and piddle on the computer. Lucy likes to peek inside. And every once in a while she says, " Maggie is in Mama's belly." Just like old times :).
