christmas stockings {2014}

we continued the tradition of attending our christmas eve service, eating chinese food, and opening stockings on christmas eve. this year the girls got matching jammies, a book, and a beanie baby (from my old stash).

christmas cookie playdate

we invited some friends over again this year to decorate christmas cookies. we had a blast. i think it is so much more fun to do it with friends. and it can be quite the production so it is nice to have lots of people to enjoy it. plus who can say that having other mom friends to help out isnt nice too. of course the most fun is eating them.

16 months

macy welcomed 16 months with a little ear infection so we are a few (6 days) late on this post. happy 16 months miss macy. you are as adventurous as ever. you climb on chairs, benches, and tables. your goals usually involve knocking stuff off of whatever high surface you have climbed on or eating the cat food (most times both). you are spunky and laugh at everything. you are testing the limits and somedays try to skip your naps. you love love love your sister and abby. speaking of abby, you are pretty much obsessed. we love you miss mace and love watching you grow up.
