Christmas 2017

I am very behind on this post but needless to say, Christmas was amazing! We had a great day full of snow and excitement. Its been a long time since we have seen a white Christmas like this and it did not disappoint. Christmas morning we headed over to the Knowles house and had a blast playing in the snow, opening presents, and enjoying our new games. Afterwards, we headed to the cabin to lay low and enjoy the Grahams. All in all, it was perfect family time. 

These pictures seemed to pop up in no particular order....

Gingerbread houses

The Knowles cookie day was a success! More cookies than we could ever ask for.




Christmas day with all the cousins

The kiddos had some fun in the snow at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Some lasted longer than others but they all tried at least one run on the sled (except I think Maya stuck with the snowballs)




Grandpa was not feeling 100%, so Bennett got to carry on the tradition of handing out the gifts under the tree. He added his own camo twist to it. 

Christmas morning at our house



We headed up to the cabin the day after Christmas. We had promised the kids that there would be snow there.....there wasn't so we got to spend the day driving up to the mountains. We didn't stop until we found snow.




LOVE this one!



They had fun!

Anytime is the perfect time for a cartwheel. 



Christmas with the Grahams

After Christmas, we met up with some friends at a new gym around us. Trampolines, foam pits, obstacle courses, and so much more. You'd think the kiddos died and went to heaven.
They loved this rock climbing wall. If you fell, you just landed in a giant foam pit. 

I didn't get many of Callie, she pretty much didn't stop moving.

Rolling and Reading

Callie rolls ALL over the place!!! One of her favorite places to end up is her bookshelf. Look what I found! As a side note, it looks like one of our cats is finally accepting that Callie is part of the family (or atleast, she isn't going anywhere) and has become very tolerant of her. She lets Callie "pet" her and will even walk up to Callie (which, if you know this cat, is VERY unusual - there are some people who still have never seen her). The other day when I was getting Callie from her nap this was outside her door. Apparently the cat loves Callie enough to bring her toys.

Another Plane Ride

So, Callie and I spent my spring break in Pennsylvania. It was a wonderful trip and Callie just LOVED being spoiled by all her aunts and uncles, cousins, and grandmas! (she was a bit in shock when we came back home and she was stuck with just mom and dad - she also took a two hour nap the day we got back, which she has never, never (and probably never will again) done, traveling sure is exhausting!). I was a bit nervous about the very long plane ride, but besides not eating at all, Callie did fabulous! Although, she never really did understand why she couldn't grab the people sitting next to us or in front of us. Even though she got sick on the way back, she was still a wonderful traveler. She loved sitting with Grandma and looking out the plane window (yuck!). We met Grandma in Chicago - at that point in time both Grandma and Callie needed a snuggle, so they spent part of our layover cuddling up in the airport. (sorry, I took these with my cell phone) Looking out the ...

9 Months

It's hard to believe that in 3 months our beautiful daughter will be 1 year old! How fast time flies (and how quickly she changes). Here's some updates (on our very big bug): She weighs in at a whopping 20 lb 13 oz (81% percentile) and continues to be VERY long, measuring in at 29.75 inches (98% percentile). Again, we are not sure who she got that gene from. She now not only can get herself down from the standing position but she also has had a few moments when she has stood totally by herself. On Mother's Day she stood for a good 5 seconds all by herself. Daycare tells us that she now uses other kids heads to help herself stand up (sorry!). She can also walk along the couch or another long piece of furniture. Today I was cooking dinner (Callie is often very content playing in the kitchen with "non toys" while I cook) and I looked over and she was pushing the kitchen chair across the floor. I was so excited, I made her do it again so I could video tape it ...
