Babies first Christmas

We had such a lovely Christmas holiday we spent lots of time with both of our families. This year will be a very memorable one for us because it was our babies first Christmas and also because we had so much snow. It just seemed to keep snowing and snowing. We still have snow on the ground in our neighborhood. I feel so thankful to be able to drive in my car again though, it was getting a little old being stranded at home for so many days in a row.
We have had a rough past couple of days...our precious little angels have had colds. I have to say as a Mom watching your kids be sick and not knowing how to help them is the worst feeling I have ever felt in my life. There were a few times over the coarse of the last few days that Jerame has had to tell me to get it together because I start crying when the baby starts crying. I just feel so bad for them! They seem to be doing better today and are both sleeping right now. My Dad & Shelly came to take care of them for the evening last night while Jerame and I went out to ring in the new year. It was so generous of them to come and spend the evening taking care of our sick babies. They did such a great job! We are so lucky to have so many Grandparents around to help us! Here a some pics from our holiday.

My Grandma had this portrait drawn for us during

her trip to South America. She surprised us with it on

Christmas Eve. It will be something we cherish for a lifetime.

not holding a baby at our house!

We finally put together the babies play-center that

Uncle Matt got them when they were born. They almost

like it...I think a few more weeks and they will be

big enough to really enjoy it.

Too Funny

Bella liked to stick her head in the snow for some

odd reason?
