December 2010.

Now that December is over, we can do a better job looking back at it.
One of us had more pictures taken of her in her crib, and started sleeping on her tummy sometimes.


the flash captures that drool spot so perfectly...
One of us had school spirit week. This was crazy hair day. Below: Mix and Match day (Jane's dress is backwards).

One of us is getting better at reading and wanted to read to the littlest one.
We decorated for Christmas.
One of us made this advent calendar and was proud of herself.
One of us made these stockings in the nick of time. He was truly inspired.
One of us started to play more.
One of us turned six months old at the beginning of December.
We had a Christmas Eve.
We played with Brio trains (thanks, Grandma and Grandpa Gibson!), ate a nice ham dinner, acted out the Nativity with the Little People Nativity set, and put on Christmas pajamas.
We had a Christmas.
We made gingerbread. After Christmas. Cheaper candy=awesome.
we learned new tricks.
Christmas day=Santa brought everyone at least one thing they wanted (Mulan for Jane, donut for Grey, musical fox for Flora); video-conferencing with both sets of grandparents; staying in our pajamas all day; watching Elf; drinking San Pallegrino and eating lots of sweets. The kids played all day long with new toys. Grey loves his new cape and mask and wore them while mini Batman and Robin had all kinds of adventures in their cave while Jane and Brad enjoyed building a cozy cottage from Jane's new Lego set (thanks Grandma and Grandpa Singley!) Obviously we were having too much fun to take more pictures the rest of the day. I love having the holidays at the end of the year--they're a wonderful to celebrate a wonderful year. 2010 was a great one, and we are excited to see what 2011 has in store.

I'm normally so bad at leaving comments because I never feel like I have time, but its worth taking the time to tell you that I laughed out loud, loudly, at that picture of Grey in his undies with the cape and mask on! Looks like you guys had a great Christmas!

I love the pictures! It looks like it was a great holiday. Two quick things: Does Grey love donuts? That is so funny, because it is Elijah's favorite too. He asks for one about 74 times a day and I have to limit him to two mini-ones, one with lunch and one with dinner. How funny are our kids? And the other thing - I LOVE the photo of Flora doing a push up. It is so cute!

First off, LOVE the stockings!!!
I'm so glad that you and your family had such a wonderful Christmas :)
I keep forgetting to tell you, but we took your suggestion and got Leah a few of the indestructible books. They are awesome, so thank you for the recommendation!
