22 months old!

Well, the girls are well on their way to becoming 2-year olds! AUGH!!!! They love playing and saying new words and ignoring their parents :) Here's some video of them playing with some new Christmas toys (love the tutus and bibs, Aunt Linda). There will be more video soon of them dressing and feeding their baby dolls (!) and playing their new instruments - it's going to be loud around here, but always fun. Notice how we were not even paying attention to the Bowl game that was on - who needs tv when you have hilarious girls like these!?

Christmas in Seattle and the Grinch

We got back to Seattle Sunday morning, and that afternoon, my whole family came in to celebrate with us! Not only did we play in the park, open presents, and watch football, but we also got the BEST-EVER performance of The Grinch Who Stole Christmas....

Macie, before the show, wearing mom's 6month-dress (ok, ok, I know, I was a HUGE baby!).

The whole family! Sarah, Eric, Mike, Caroline, Cheryl, Macie, Gabe, Susan, Tony, and Jon

Big Kid Kate

The day before we headed home, we got to see Daddy's high school friends, Matt and Julie, and their daughter, Kate. The girls LOVED chasing big kid Kate around and exploring her playground outside!

Ho Ho Ho!

Who's at the Door?

We miss Uncle Brock!

Here is an absolutely beautiful (!) rendition of "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" to Uncle Brock, who wasn't able to make it in for Christmas this year. The girls really, really missed you!
