Merry Christmas!!

We had an amazing Christmas this year!  We had Christmas with Uncle John and Aunt Tracy on Thursday night and then we headed to my parents on Sunday to open gifts on Monday.  Jack and Taylor were spoiled with wonderful gifts!  We came home on Christmas Eve to get ready for Santa.  We made cookies and chocolate milk and we were all in bed early.  Jack and Taylor were exhausted from the weekend so they had no problem going to bed early, plus they were both very excited for Santa to stop by. 

The kids must have been good because Santa left lots of fun stuff.  Jack loved everything, even Taylor's toys.  Taylor loved her dolls and loves giving them hugs and kisses. 

I only have pictures from Christmas morning (I completely forgot to pack my camera).  Please excuse my shirtless child.  He doesn't like sleeping with a shirt on and he was already elbow deep in his gifts before I could tell him to put one on. 

Taylor is on the move!

Taylor is officially walking and loving it!!  Over the last two weeks, she's been walking more and more and falling less.  I love watching her walk around.  She's so happy and loves chasing after her big brother! 

He's Baaaack!

Leo (short for Leonardo) arrived at our house yesterday evening.  The doorbell rang and Jack looked out the window and said "it's an elf, it's Leo"! He opened the door and Leo was holding a letter and was sitting on a little 2 foot Christmas tree.  When we put our tree up, Jack asked if he could have his own tree in his room and even picked out a few of his favorite ornaments to put on it.  Santa was listening and sent Leo with a small tree and Jack was one happy little boy!

Leo wrote Jack a nice letter reminding him of the rules and how he flies to the North Pole every night to give Santa a report, but Jack remembered it all.  The first thing he said was "don't touch him".  Jack is very excited to have Leo back!
