Most of the pictures can speak for themselves so I'll keep it short tonight. I wanted to get the Christmas pictures up and a few from Uncle Tim's birthday party the other night and Uncle Colin's birthday last week. None of those pictures can top the 1st two of Auntie Meg and Uncle Tim's ultrasound this morning! Talk about exciting!
The 1st photos of Baby A and Baby B - TWINS!
It appears that they are fraternal twins since it is very early for them to be in separate sacs if they were identical! Who cares - we get two babies!
Annie in her big girl Dora bed!
Annie could not sleep the other night - I came out to find Bob and Annie just like this at 2 a.m. - too cute!
Lizzie in her new hat!
Ellie loving her hat!
Tyler playing on the sit and spin at Uncle Colin's birthday !
Abby in her lovely orange hair - I love that gorgeous smile!
The girls having fun at Kake's house!
Reillyn having a piece of crust with Papa.
Papa loving his cuddle time with Reiyllyn.
Ellie loving being with her godmother!
Uncle Colin's birthday show!
Tyler and Peter watching the show!
The happy couple having their cake!
Peter and his biological aunt, Renee! We had a visit with her right before Christmas and can't wait for the rest of the family to meet her! There is definitely a family resemblance.
I love these pictures of Bob and Katie!
Christmas Eve at Auntie Karla and Uncle Pat's!
Gabrielle and Ellie hanging out on Christmas Eve.
Auntie Karla and the kids.
Grandma Betty and Katie reading a book.
Auntie Vicky is all recovered from her accident and looking beautiful - it was so nice to see her.

Lizzie enjoys time with the big kids!
Annie and Uncle Rob blowing out the candles.
Papa and some of his girls.
Mama and her beautiful goddaughter!
Santa came and now we just need the kids! We stick with the tradition that my parents started with us - one bigger present per child is left unwrapped by Santa so the kids can see it when they walk in the room.
All five kids on Mommy and Daddy's bed waiting to go out and see if Santa came.
The kids were so excited for their presents! Peter and Molly both exclaimed - "I thought Santa was not doing as much this year because of the recession". Very cute.
The Dora tent was a hit with Annie (who Santa brought it for) but we had trouble getting the babies out of it! It ended up being one of Santa's cheapest gifts and defintely the favorite!
Peter must have been really good this year because Santa brought him Guitar Hero.
Lizzie Girl riding her new giraffe.
Santa put some books in Peter's stocking and he loved them.
Molly loved all the girlie stuff in her stocking.
Annie was really excited about the big huge lollipop.
Ellie did not know what to make of the whole unwrapping thing - she would rather play in the paper and boxes.
Santa brought Molly the BFC INK Doll that she asked for.
Annie got a Diego safari truck that she loved.
Peter's expression was priceless when he opened his Guines Book of World Records Wii game.
Ellie loved the baby doll stroller that Santa brought.
At one point Lizzie tackled Ellie for a pooh bear doll.
Lizzie loving Christmas.
Annie got some big girl Dora underpants which she proceeded to wear outside her pants all morning - very cute but not so effective for potty training.
Papa and Uncle Pat looking as handsome as ever on Christmas morning.
Auntie Karal, Tyler and Uncle Bob - Christmas morning.
Annie doesn't look it but she was thrilled about her doll house from Grammy and Papa.
Katie loved hers, too.
Molly got a special gift from Grammy and Papa - so special that she didn't quite understand what it was!
Her very own digital camera.
Tyler got his own special gift from Grammy and papa - a drum set - I bet Karla and Pat are thanking them right now.
Molly taking a picture of Tyler with his new drums.
Peter got a Wii FIT Plus so that he can do skateboarding, snowboarding, Yoga, kickboxing and more. We love it.
Abby is all girl and was beside herself when she saw what Grammy and Papa had for her special gift - what a treat for our little girlie girl.
Abby checking out her new dressing table with the pink ruffle skirt - it was perfect for her. Everytime we couldn't find Abby we would end up seeing her in front of the mirror pretending to put on make-up or doing her hair.
Handsome boys so lucky to have each other.
Beautiful girls - the best of friends.
Tyler was excited to get the Harry Potter books and movies.
Peter got a chin up bar to work out with - perfect for the boy who wants to be the strongest man in the world like Uncle Pat and papa.
My parents are amazing. They bought these two doll sets for Annie and Katie to represent our twins. They bought one white set and one black set and then switched it so each of the girsl had one of each doll - how cute is that!
Molly loved her Savvy Shopper DS game.
Night at the Museum 2 - we have already watched it twice.
Auntie Karla came up with a special gift for Grammy and Papa - a box filled with notes from the grandkids and Pat and Karla and Bob and I about our favorite memories of them, our favorite stories that they tell and what we love most about having them as parents. They both cried so I think they liked it!
Tyler's favorite spot!
Lizzie loving being with papa.
Grandma Betty was a hit with Molly - she gave her a hat that she never takes off.
Lizzie looking adorable in Molly's hat.
Uncle Tom and Peter
Molly loving on Lizzie.
Daddy being silly.
Annie took a long nap and then was a bit hard to wake up - she is so beautiful!
Then it was up to Auntie Kake's for more presents and fun with the family.
The girls playing with their barbies.
Grandma and Annie!
Awww - I love this picture.
So I found matching dresses for the 4 girls but this was the one and only pictures I could get them to sit for - kind of funny!
Molly loved her snuggie from Auntie Meg.
Auntie Meg and uncle Tim loved the baby outfit for the new little one - little did we know that they would need two!
Daddy and Lizzie - our girl is getting tired.
Uncle Colin got his goddaughter her very favorite gift - a ride along toy that Annie tries to steal all the time.
Lizzie says it perfectly - at the end of the night we were exhausted!
My cousins Todd and Michelle brought Cassidy over to see us a few days after Christmas - they are from San Diego and it was great to get to see them - even if it was a short time. Cassidy was born two weeks after Lizzie and Todd and Michelle are expecting another baby in June - it always makes me think of how much my grandmother would love to see all of us having babies! My cousin Colleen is also expecting another baby in a few months - so exciting!
Michelle, Todd and Cassidy!
The girls wrapped in their Snuggies from Auntie Meg and Uncle Tim.
Breakfast of Champions - Lollipops!
We went over to Auntie Meg and Uncle Tim's for a birthday party for Uncle Tim on Wednesday night - the kids wanted to do something special so they made these t-shirts to wear - Molly's says "Big Cousin,Molly" and Pete's says "Biggest Cousin, Peter". Auntie Meg loved them!
Lizzie makes herself right at home at her godmother's apartment - pizza on the futon!
Uncle B and his goddaughter - how cute are they!
The girls loved the futon b/c they could climb on and off of it themselves!
Happy Birthday to uncle Tim - the big 2-8!
Colin helps blow out the candles!
Auntie Kate and Auntie Beth enjoying some snuggles - Auntie Beth had had Annie for the day and she certainly looks wiped out from it! All in all a wonderful week filled with family and friends. I forgot my camera for the Mack Christmas the day after Christmas so you'll have to check out Dad's blog for that! It was a really nice relaxed time for all of us and I am so grateful that have so much family and friends who love us and want to be with us and make these times special for the kids!
GNM - ILY!
