Updates and Christmas!

Hi! It only took me 5 hours, but I got all these pictures uploaded, yay!
I have a few pictures that are about 3 weeks old (oh my goodness, time is going so quickly). If a few of these are similar to the previous post that's because those were from Grammy's camera and these are from mine.
Taya holding Rory......................

The littlest Patriots fan in our house. He has changed so much since this picture.
Our new double stroller. We have given it a test run at Walmart but so far it's been too cold to go on a walk outside. I can't wait to use it!
This is what Rory did while we baked cookies with Grammy.
Taya trying out a cookie.

The pictures below are from the past week. What fun we had in anticipation of Christmas! We also enjoyed having Ethan home for 1.5 days more than usual!!

Taya "decorated" Nima with her necklaces.


On the 23rd, it was pajama day at school and the Christmas party. I admit, Taya put on clean jammies to go to school. She picked out new ones...Christmas Minnie Mouse :)

Our beautiful children.

Christmas Eve, just before bedtime.

Santa came!
Taya noticed this shortly after waking up. A bed for her baby!
Taya seeing if Santa ate his cookies and drank his milk.
Santa left a few bites so she decided to finish it.
Since we don't have a mantle, the stockings were hung on the table.
Big girl panties in the stocking.


I got this silver sweater from my mom but Nima thought it made a good blanket.
Taya loved ALL of her presents and took lots of time examining and playing with each one. It took 5 hours for us to open gifts. It's a blessing to share the special moments of Christmas with our kids while remembering the true meaning.
Taya got a tea set from Omi and Papa. She tested it out right away.
Notice how she put the spoons in each cup...
This is the help I had while opening gifts.

Isn't my boy so handsome?!
Rory got a wagon from Grammy but since he's not quite big enough, big sister will break it in.

Rory had many naps, but this one was in such a cute position.
We are working on giving Rory a bottle so he will be ready when I go back to work.

Omi and Papa got Taya these footie jammies. She walked kind of funny in them but she really liked them!
Well, that captures our past few weeks. We have enjoyed some playdates, lots of sweets, and family time. Although it's hard being away from our extended family, Ethan and I really enjoy the time with our kids and our time at home. You were in our thoughts. God Bless!
