Meeting Lucy

After playing all day I took Jack up to the hospital to deposit him back with his Dad and so that he and I could meet his new little sister Lucy. He was a little confused about why Daddy wouldn't let him get up on the bed with Mommy and love her. He also thought that Lucy was Britain.

Rocking Deer

Eden got a rocking deer for Christmas that I found in California at a consignment sale for $20! It's a great quality so I bought it and saved it for Christmas. She's still not quite big enough to do it herself, but she likes to have us help her. We played with it with Jack too.

Playing Road

My Dad made both Eden and Jack canvas roads to drive their cars on for Christmas. We had one as kids and played and played with it. Jack came over while Holly and Caleb were at the hospital to have the baby and we played road pretty much all day long.

Jack and Uncle Russell (who just happened to be matching that day!)

Jack and Eden

Eden doesn't quite understand to stay on the road and not on drive everywhere yet.

Uncle Russell is confused about what is a road and what is a Jack!

Cars + Road = One HAPPY Jack!

Christmas Fun

Luckily our kids are still small enough that they don't realize they should get up early to open presents. So, we slept in and started at about 8:30. It took us an hour and a half to open everything, and Eden was excited to open at first but then got bored with opening and just wanted to play with the new toys. She also thinks that all of Britain's presents were for her to. Next year that might not go over as well!

"Wow" let's open this one! She went straight for the biggest one Christmas morning.

A snuggly lion!

Russell always loves a good game.

FINALLY opening the big one.

My sister made me this neat cross-stitch.

Lion covey excitement...

and loves.

And this puppy dog (which was actually for Britain from Grandma and Grandpa) is Eden's favorite.

First Digital Page

Russell got me Photoshop Elements for Christmas so I could do some things with digital scrapbooking. This is my first page. Nothing special really, but I did something. I won't ever really switch to digital, but it's fun for making calendars or christmas cards.

Already One Month!

I can't believe Britain is already a month old. She sure is cute, and has gotten her nights and days fixed now. Once we get her down (which is usually about 10:30 or 11pm) she usually only wakes up twice to eat. Not bad really. She has started to smile while she's not half asleep, and is a little more interested in some toys.

Playing in the Snow

It's been snowing here like crazy the past week or so, and I've taken Eden out a couple times while Britain is asleep to let her check it out. You could say she likes it. Here's some pictures:
