... it's official. We have another walker in the house. YIKES! She's taken as many as 18 steps in a row so I think we can call it official.

The other day I was in the kitchen and I kept hearing Ava grunting in the living room. When I came into the room I found this. I didn't get the video going until she was halfway under already but it was quite amusing seeing her squeeze under the trampoline. It is pretty low to the ground.

When we tell Lily it's time for her nap or to go to bed, she grabs her baby and says "prayers with the baby" says "Amen" and then puts the baby to bed. Usually the prayers are a jumble of words we do not understand (like in the video). Sometimes we can understand a few words such as "Thank you Snow and Cody and Birch...Amen"

Post Christmas

Well, we had a wonderful Christmas and we hope you did too. We are so thankful for all the gifts everyone gave to the girls. They loved them.

Here are some photos of the girls on Christmas morning (and Christmas evening and even the next day) opening gifts. Lily opened about 4 gifts on Christmas morning and was a bit overwhelmed so we saved some of the gifts for Christmas evening and the next day. Enjoy! =)

Ted reading the Christmas Story from Lily's Bible before opening gifts.
