Christmas!!!

 Jefrie was so cute this year.  She was excited to open her presents but didnt understand the whole Santa thing yet.

 She got another cell phone that she just did not want to put down.

 like I said....she did not want to put the phone down.

 My little pre-teen

 Eastyn just stared at all her toys

 cute little hats that Aaron's grandma made

 Jefrie loves her tent and tunnel

 She is so good at puzzles

 grandpa and uncle bug came over for Christmas breakfast

 So cute in their Christmas dresses.  Thanks nana and papa!!!

grandpa and grandma cobbley came to visit us this week.  :-)

Gingerbread House

I really wanted to do a gingerbread house with Jefrie this year because I knew she would have fun with it.

Cutest smile ever!

 I started it and then she did the top.

 She did such a good job!  I had to stop her from eating all the candy a few times but we managed to save a perfect amount. :-)

This is how meticulous she is.....a perfectionist like her mommy.....Lynn likes to call it OCD.

Jefrie's tree

 Earlier in the morning she hand panted the tree and then after her nap she put the ornaments on it.  She loves her little art projects.

Eastyn was just so cute sleeping with her baby I just had to take a pic. :-)

SANTA!!!

So we went to see Santa last week and I was thinking Jefrie was going to scream the whole time because thats what she did with the Santa at our Ward Christmas Party but she did pretty good.....giving her candy canes helped.

We put Eastyn in his arms first so I think that helped Jefrie too. 

 They both didnt really smile but they are still cuties!

 We go to R Stafford which is a beauty supply store to see Santa cuz there is never a line and Santa can talk to the girls and walk around so that helps them warm up to him too. 

Since I know everyone there they told us get a family pic too.

 Jefrie didnt really like Santa but she enjoyed reading a book with him.  :-)

And this is just a cute little pic of my babies.

Our Christmas tree adventure

So this year Aaron suggested that we go and cut down our own christmas tree.  I was even more excited when he told me permits were only $10!!!  So we drove north past Fort Collins to get our tree.           

 This was our pre-teen sitting in the back just as happy as can be talking on her phone.

 Here are the girls of the family all bundled up.

 Jefrie was a little cranky walking in the snow so Im soooo glad we bought a sled for her.  She had fun sliding behind daddy while finding the best tree.  After a while she walked in the snow and played in it so im happy she enjoyed the winter outdoors.

 This one was perfect!!! since we dont have a lot of room in our house it was great that it is only half a tree,  its grew right next to an aspen tree so the pine needles never grew on that side.  :-)   I wanted a little charlie brown tree too.  Isnt my hubby just so manly.....lol

 My wonderful husband and cutest 2ish year old.

SEE!!! its PERFECT!!!  Im so happy we finally have one.   We have decide to make that a tradition every year.  We all had so much fun.  Ahhh Christmas is in the Air.  :-)

first solids

 We decided to start Eastyn on solids tonight. 

She really didnt like it at first.  She looked at me like i was poisoning her or something.  Towards the end she did a lot better, she was actually keeping it in her mouth.

tall and skinny

Eastyn is 4 months today!  We went to the doctor and got her stats and more shots.  :-(

Weight 11lbs. 5 oz.  = 8%

Height 24 1/2 inch.  = 61%

Head 16 inch.   = 50%

So she is tall and skinny. The doctor wasnt worried about her weight because she is growing length wise, so that's good. 

She is so active,  she reaches and plays with her toys. She rolls from her back to her stomach.  She loves to tickle Jefrie (Jefrie will sit next to her and Eastyn will grab her shirt and and play with it) She has the cutest little laugh. She puts everything in her mouth and she is drooling a lot. 

Aaron was feeding her and decided to teach her how to hold her own bottle.  She really doesnt know how to hold it yet he just got lucky for a minute.  She is so stinkin cute!
