First Christmas

 Will enjoyed everyone's presents this Christmas. He was toddling all around. We had to be on our toes to keep all the little parts, hot cocoas and coffees away from him. He got some more baby toys too. We should have one of just about every kind of baby and toddler toy now! 

It's hard for me to post these photos of myself or even be in the photos in the first place. As you can see getting the baby weight off is still very much a work in progress. I started thinking one time though that if I edit out all of the pictures of myself I don't look too great in, which would be pretty much all of them right now, it would seem as though I wasn't there during their childhoods. Also they don't care. I'm their mom and I know they love me whatever I look like. The love in my eyes and the Will's adorableness make up for a lot in the picture.

Lexa got a bike for Christmas.

Reading Twas the Nightmare Before Christmas




Will's first Christmas


Lexa was so happy to get the doll stroller she asked for. She exclaimed, "It's just what I wanted!", and she plays with it all the time. She really knows what she wants.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

It took me weeks to finish getting all  of our Christmas decorations up, little by little. It's finally all done just before Christmas. Lexa and Timmy love it though. I hope it doesn't take me as long to take it down. It really is hard to get anything done with a baby. I'm think I am slowly starting to get back into doing more again, as evidenced by the photos below. :)

Nutrcracker Girls

Sara, my mom, Lexa and I went to see the Austin Ballet Nutcracker. Grandmom made her this beautiful Christmas dress. It has her tatting on the collar. She was excited about getting to wear it. She,  of course, likes dancing and ballerinas. At the ballet, she kept standing up and dancing and swaying to the music in front of her seat. Then she got hungry, and then she fell asleep half in my lap. I enjoyed the performance. It was fun to have a girl's night and to share the Nutcracker with Lexa. I hope this becomes a tradition.

Timmy's Class Christmas Party

Playing "Pass the Present". Timmy was pleased to end up with his own book that he brought.
