Vegas


We snuck away for a few days the weekend before Christmas to celebrate our friends 30th bday in Vegas. My Mom & Jerry were awesome enough to take on the twinnies for a few days. We had a blast! We stayed at the Cosmopolitan, a brand new hotel on the strip. It was so amazing & beautiful. The grand opening was actually the day before we had arrived.

Dinner at Prime @ the Bellagio


Just the two of us :)
We love Vegas. Always have a blast together there. The problem is that we came home more exhausted than when we left...not necessarily the best vaccation to take when you have two, 2 year olds to come home to.

Because you are twins

Because you are twinnies, you get double the amount of toys on every single holiday that are age appropriate for you both. This is one of the many perks of having a twin sibling. Up until this point most of the toys you have been given have been for the most part gender neutral, with the exception of a few cars & babies. BUT we are getting to the point in your lives where some things start to be very 'boy' & 'girl' in the toy world. I imagine this must be just a little bit confusing for you at this point.

what we have been up to!

Time is just flying right by, hard to believe Christmas is right around the corner. We have tons of things planned for the rest of the month (including a trip to VEGAS!!!) and are trying to savor every minute of this special time with the twins. They are in awe of everything including lights & the Christmas tree. I think this will be the first year they will really understand presents.

Jerame took the week off, of Thanksgiving and it turned out great because we got snowed in the first few days and were unable to do anything but hang out, play, cook & have family time. It was so cozy. We had tons of grand plans for the week to get chores done around the house but ended up not doing any of it and just enjoying our time together. It was wonderful.

Jer & I snuck away for an afternoon sans kiddos to cheer on the Seahawks. They were terrible but we had fun.


I really didn't get many pictures of Thanksgiving, I was busy chasing after the twins at my Grandparents house, trying to make sure they didn't break anything. We had the pleasure this year of being guests at my Grandparents house with my Mom's side of the family. It was a delicious meal with lots to be thankful for.

Bella had to have one of her toe-nails removed last week. Its a long story but it was an ongoing problem that we had to deal with. The Vet compared the surgery to one that a person would have when a finger or toe is amputated. So it's been a slow recovery & lots of nursing care for her. So in addition to the twinnies, I have been busy with my 3rd baby the past week.

Carter is super into building his Lego farm house right now. He will do this for hours. He loves to have Jer help him, they are cute building it together.


Chloe & I had a cookie decorating party. She took it very seriously and ate them as we went.



GO COUGS!!!

Lastly we had a little last minute get together with a few of our friends for Apple Cup. There were 5 little girls & Carter.

tutu


Every little girl falls in love with a tutu at one time or another...it seems as though Chloe has found the one :)

We were on our way out the door and Chloe comes downstairs in this! Just your average Costco shopping attire.
