Oh where, oh where has December gone?

Here's what's up:

We are the proud owners of a 16lb, 1 oz. four month old baby butterball of giggles. 99% for height, 96% for weight, and in 9-12 month clothing. 
Did I mention she's really only four months old?
(Milk, it does a body good!)

This year's Christmas miracle - both looking at the camera!!
(And this was their school picture. Talk about stress free and easy pick for this year's card! How 'bout them apples.)

And they may be different in a lot of ways; blonde vs. brunette, hazel eyes vs. blue, petite vs. tall; but tell me these girls aren't related. Look at those little button noses.

I love little button noses.

And because, as we all know, Ben and I have occasional DIY issues, the other night we whipped up this bad boy. Who needs sleep when  you can build a chair?!
(Well, Ben whipped up his part- the folding chair wood work - over a month ago. I finally sat down and whipped up my part - the fabric sling - this week.) You now know where you will find me kicked back this summer in the yard. I think a little side table to hold my book and ice cold drink will be next, no?

And lastly, Tutus the Elf was introduced (and named by Kaelyn, as in the plural form of the word tutu...) to our family this year, and has been quite the entertainment.
Here's a snippet of what he gets in to on a daily basis (and how much Kaelyn does not like a mess... wowza.)

May your days be merry and bright!!
