Sick, Sick Babies!

This is a VERY pathetic group of little girls!  No one has been sick in months and so I guess we are paying for that luck!  In a matter of 5 days we made two trips to the doctor and one trip to the ER.  The good news is we now have the first time having 3 sick kids at the same time behind us...hopefully next time Daddy won't be traveling for work! Thank goodness for Nana and Pop Pop!

Lots of holding sick babies!

Pop Pop and I took this one to the ER due to breathing issues.  She ended up having croup and pneumonia. 

Double ear infection for this one! 

Double ear infection and an upper respiratory infection for this one! 

Breakfast with Santa

We had breakfast with Santa at the Children's Museum.  It was great!  There was good food, crafts, Santa, and best of all we got to play in the museum for 45 minutes before it opened.  

How did these two get SO big?!?  They have been best buddies for so many years!  It's so fun to see their friendship grow and change.  

Waiting for our turn with Santa.

These girls love crafts. 

Most of the crew.  The babies weren't too sure about the big guy. 

They have seen Santa 4 times so far this season and asked for the same things each time.

Emmerson= an American Girl doll,  and rings that glow

Claire= an American Girl doll, a Dora phone, and dress up clothes

It just doesn't get old to us!  

It was so fun to have the museum to ourselves this time of year!

They love the ice skating

Claire wins every time!

Tree Sale

Indiana School for the Blind always has a tree sale the first week of December.  We never miss it!  Santa, an elf and his reindeer, hot chocolate and cookies are all there!

The little trees are always a hit. 

It's always freezing. 

This one enjoyed it this year. 

We found Santa on our way out.  (visit #3) 

Jolly Days

On Emmerson's December early release day we meet Anna and Owen at the Children's Museum to visit Jolly Days.  

Ice skating was what they were most excited about. 

The ice castle was perfect for playing Elsa and Anna. 

Ice fishing

Visit number 2 with Santa.  These girls LOVE seeing him!

Audrey wasn't real excited about sitting on his lap!

Making some cookies 

and of course we end with a few trips down the slide. 

Advent Concert

St Thomas had an Advent Concert.  Each class sang a song.  

All ready for her first performance.

The kindergartners signing The Little Drummer Boy.

Claire has made some new friends at St. Thomas too.  Some of Emmerson's new friends have 3 year old little sisters that Claire loves playing with.

Broadripple Tree lighting

We went to the Broadripple tree lighting the Saturday after Thanksgiving to kick off the Christmas season.  

Our first visit of the season with Santa.  The girls were so excited. 

There were crafts 

and cookie decorating! 

We even stayed for the parade. 

November FUN

Another month has come and gone.  Time is flying by and though we wish we could slow it down we are just trying to make the most of all of it.  

This baby girl knows how to relax!  She makes herself comfortable where ever she is.  

Audrey can officially keep up with the big girls now.  

The other night we walked into the big girls room before we went to bed and this is what we found.  Emmerson asleep on the floor and Claire so lost in her bed we couldn't find her!

Her favorite hiding spot! 

Meet Rapunzel 

Really?!?  playing is hard work!

Audrey loves to cuddle with Emmerson.  She walks over to her and asked to be picked up all the time.  

Audrey has found the doll house and loves to play with it. 

Audrey loves playing outside now that she can get anywhere she wants. 

Daylight savings time is tough.  Audrey fell asleep in her highchair during lunch and stayed asleep while I changed her diaper and put her down for her nap.  

We found Claire asleep while still holding her purse. 

Sick baby cuddles are so sweet. 

The little girls and I keep pretty busy while Emmerson is at school.
