Christmas Night

Christmas night the girls sat back, relaxed, and got their drink on.

Christmas Morning

The girls got plenty of goodies on Christmas morning--toys, books, and even their own easy chairs--but what fascinated them most was tissue paper!

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve we got dressed up, bundled up, and went out to the Coles' for dinner.

Adding one more, thanks to Carla & Tom...

Almost Christmas!

As Christmas approached, we headed down to Grandma and Grandpa's to await the coming of Santa.

Claire & Keira Dictionary

The girls are learning new words all the time now. With some words they follow standard English usage. With others, meanings and pronunciations are specific to their dialect. The following dictionary will assist English speakers with the latter.

butty - button; belly button; snap; dot
buh-bye - bye (sometimes said after the person has left); get out of my way (Keira)
deet-doo - thank you
dog - any 4-legged animal
duck (Claire) - duck; goose; penguin
Kiki (Claire) - Keira 
me-mah - (usually repeated many times, exact meaning unknown)
poo poo - my diaper is being changed (regardless of what's in it)
uh-oh - I just dropped something on the floor purposely; I'm about to drop something on the floor purposely

Christmas Dancing

We got into the Christmas spirit this weekend and did some festive dancing.

Typical Behavior

It's nice to look back at videos of when the girls were younger just to remember what they were like. What, at the time, was just typical behavior is now interesting because they have changed so much. So here's an attempt to document today's typical behavior!

Sagging

"Sagging is the practice of wearing trousers/pants or shorts below the waist so as to reveal some or all of the wearer's underwear.... Sagging is commonly reported in the media as having originated from the prohibition of belts for inmates." --Wikipedia

(Sorry, video is kind of long, but you get the idea after the first ten seconds or so.)

While in Maryland for Thanksgiving, the girls visited with Jake.

Proof (Girls Walking)

In case you haven't heard, the girls are walking! This has been going on for roughly a month, but, as one loyal follower of this blog pointed out, we have not shown proof! This is not the best example, but it's the one that happened while the camera was on and pointed in the right direction.

Our Second Halloween

We love Halloween, but after three days of festivities, we are WORN OUT!
