Christmas Eve

 (These were taken earlier in December for our big family Christmas music video! Rock on!)

 

On Christmas Eve afternoon we went to the Calders to celebrate with the family. We had a good time playing and eating!

 The kids loved the little gifts from Nana and Papa G and looked forward to the gifts from them and the rest of the family on Christmas (we got money from our parents to get gifts for the girls).

 Rachel and Jeff got us the movie "Inside Out" that we love!

Myah and Reagan loved seeing little Sophia again (Tyler and Leisel had been in Oklahoma for 6 months) and Sophie loved giving Myah hugs!

After the party we came home, left cookies and milk for Santa (which Reagan started eating...oops), and went to bed!

Fun times

Snow!

Myah and Reagan have loved playing in the snow! They definitely have more tolerance for the cold than Justin and I. But we had fun attempting to make a snowman with the powdery snow, making a snow thrown, and throwing snowballs.

Tew Christmas Party

Justin got back from South Carolina on Dec. 15th, just in time for my family Christmas party a few days later. We had a fun time (I look forward to this all year!). Games, food, the nativity, and just plain old fun!

 

New Jammies & Elf

We also had an elf stop by and give the girls presents, which they loved!

Train

We went back to the mall when daddy came back to play and ride the train with him!

Santa, Train, Photohoot

Oh my goodness, we had such a blast in December! What a magical month. The girls loved seeing Santa and telling him what they wanted...skirts, makeup, and books (both girls). We also had a great time riding the train at the mall! So fun!

November

Our November was a good month. Myah went to preschool every week and loved every minute. We did fun things even though Justin was still in South Carolina. He did great there and was busy working and getting his animation on!

I would like to talk about our little Reagan for a minute. She is adorable and such a sweet girl but she is also VERY independent and gets VERY upset if I try to help her do anything because she just wants to do it by herself...even if she can't! She also gets embarrassed very easily so she doesn't like much attention and gets mad. So one minute she's like this:

 ...so sweet doing makeup and saying she looks like a lion...
 
...and the next minute she's throwing herself on the floor and throwing a tantrum. (She laid here on her face for about 10 minutes in protest about something.)

 And then the next minute she's our sweet little Reagan! It makes for quite the roller-coaster of days.

We can't believe our girls are growing so fast! It's really fun that Myah is older and can play actual games with me, have a conversation, and be an amazing helper!
Myah and Reagan also love snow! They both would get excited whenever it would snow!

Thanksgiving 
Justin was still in South Carolina and had Thanksgiving with his boss's family and another co-worker. Me and the girls went to my parents house and had a really great Thanksgiving!

 We had so much fun playing with cousins and grandma and grandpa!

Mmmm....
