It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

We had a fun filled December here in a Georgia!

Andrew was way into Santa this year and it was so much fun! He'd find our Santa hat and walk around the whole house saying "Ho! Ho! Ho! I'm Santa" It was so funny and he never got bored of it! 

My parents came to visit us for a week. It was wonderful to see them and we loved having them visit this time of year. They sure gave us a boost and helped me finish up with Christmas.

It's so fun to see my dad play the same games he did with me as a little girl with Andrew. Here's the famous "Take off My Shoes"  Game.

This is the best we could get of Grandma & Grandpa with all three kids.

My mom became a pro at feeding both girls at the same time.

Andrew's preschool class had a Christmas program they performed with their 'buddies'. I knew they were practicing Christmas songs for a while because this kid LOVES to sing and would go around singing all the songs he learned at school. Jingle Bells was a favorite...especially after I got out the Christmas decorations and he found some bells he could shake and accompany himself with. Also 'Police Navidad' or Feliz Navidad was also sung a lot around our house during the month. 

I think Andrew was more excited that mommy, daddy, grandma & grandpa were at his school then anything else. He talked about it for days afterwards. 

We had an early Christmas with them and exchanged all of our gifts! It was perfect! Andrew got a few new toys halfway through the month which kept him happy. 

It may not look like it, but I promise this kid was super excited to get a new camera. He's always stealing my phone and taking TONS of pictures with it! 

Our ward had a fun Christmas party and we were able to leave the girls with my parents and sneak away for a few hours. With them being preemies AND the fact that is is cold/flu season, we are pretty careful where we take them and who holds them. Andrew on the other hand was super excited to see that Santa came to the party too! I wasn't sure how he'd respond when it was time to sit on his lap...but he loved it! He was a little shy at first, but so excited. Much better then last year of tears! He told Santa he wanted him to bring him lots of cars. 

I was also able to spend one morning at the temple. While my parents were here. We literally live just down the street from the Atlanta Temple and with all the craziness of bed rest and having babies. I haven't been  able to go in a very long time. It was so wonderful to spend the morning there. I couldn't resist taking a picture! The sky was so blue that December day!
