The girls are loving all of the Christmas decorations and activities so far! They both say "wooooow!" everytime we see christmas lights, so we took them to the Westminter city building where there is a Santa village and lots of lights - they loved it! We also took them to Blossoms of Lights at the Botanical Gardens, but it was freezing cold that night and not quite as much fun since we kept them in the stroller. They have had a great time at the Christmas parties they went to and at Uncle Bradleys graduation party (Congratulations Bradley!!!!!!!!!!). It's great to see them being more social and playing with the other kids (they were so clingy 6 months ago we used to have to hold them the whole time whenever we went anywhere!)Around the house they have been playing with our little snowmen and a singing penguin. The other day I walked into the living room to find all of the snowmen laying down covered with washcloths and the girls saying "shhhhh" - they were putting the snowmen to sleep - so cute! As far as the christmas trees, they have been doing pretty good - we kept some ornaments within reach for them and they like to look at them and try to pull them off :) But so far no destruction, which is a good thing! They did however get into some of the presents and there are a few gifts that are partially unwrapped already!
I'm not sure who is more excited for Christmas - the girls or us... We can't wait to see them play with their new toys :) And we are looking forward to spending the holidays with my grandparents Otto and Marion again this year! Christmas just wouldn't be the same without them here. And it's fun to pick out cute clothes for the girls to wear when great-gramma and grampa come to see them!
