Christmas and a New Year...gone. Things were definitely crazy the last two weeks of the year. We were running around seeing family, old friends, and trying to enjoy our time at home also. Christmas was great. Christmas Eve was spent in Mt. Vernon. The boys got a lot of great gifts and of course had fun tying out their new toys. Christmas morning was spent at home. We got up first thing and opened presents with the kids. The boys loved opening all of their presents and loved their new work bench. It kept them occupied while Jon and I opened our gifts to each other. Jon's dad and sister joined us that afternoon and the boys got even more presents. They got a new wagon from Aunt Sarah, which they loved and Jon and I are going to love it once it gets warmer and we start back up our trips to the zoo. The boys also got new race car beds from Grandpa. They love them!! I'm not such a big fan only because they take up the entire room since Jon and I didn't think to measure them before getting them into the room...oops. Oh well though. Charley got some new clothes and a few new toys as well....she really didn't know the difference though.

The boys are doing great. They have enjoyed their race car beds. Justus has sustained two injuries...a bloody, fat lip and a bruised eye. Matthias amazingly hasn't been injured yet....the key word being yet. The boys have been keeping busy with all their new toys. It is kind of nice having some new things for them to play with. They keep themselves pretty entertained for the most part. I'm so glad they are getting to the age where they will play with each other and keep each other entertained.

Charley is doing great as well. She is now eating baby food. So far she has tried carrots and squash. She loves both. She gets so excited when it is time to eat. She has also transitioned out of her baby bath and is now in her bathseat. It's so much more convenient. The only problem is that when she gets a bath the boys think it's time for their bath also. I usually just put them in the bath at the end of Charley's. They splash too much for poor little Charley.

Here is a link to all our pictures from December.
