Christmas!

We had a great Christmas!  Everyone slept in (except me...I got up early to make cinnamon rolls-Easton's request).

Nathan put the wagon together for Blakely.  It was almost a disaster but it ended up working out just fine!

Thank you for all the wonderful gifts from Grandparents!  Movies, money, treats, clothes, toys, etc.  We all had a great Christmas and were very spoiled!  Thanks!

Christmas Eve

We decided to go to Candy Cane Lane/ Lollipop Lane. I wanted to go earlier in December but it didn't end up happening.  Christmas Eve was about our last chance.

Strolling along to see the lights! Nathan, Easton, Blair, and Dyer

One of me and little Princess (Blakely).  It's a little difficult to get a good picture when you're taking the picture yourself.  I guess I should have had Nathan take a picture of us.

Lollipop Lane

 Another one on Lollipop Lane

We stopped halfway through to drink hot cocoa and Easton wanted his own photo shoot of silly faces....



Did I mention it snowed that night?  
I'm only kidding.  It was actually fairly warm (58 degrees) and I was wearing flip flops.



Easton even made me take silly videos of him but it was too dark to see them.

Drinking hot chocolate!


Christmas Eve also happens to be Easton's teacher's birthday.  Since she lives just one street over from us, Easton and I made her cookies and brought them over to her.  She wasn't home so we left them on the doorstep and called her to wish her a Happy Birthday!  She asked us if we were going to do anything special for Christmas and we told her we were going to Candy Cane Lane.  She said she was going to be there too at her Aunt's house for dinner.  She told us to call her when we got there so she could give Easton a hug.
Easton with Miss Martinez and Malia.  Maila is in Easton's class and also happens to be Miss Martinez's niece.

Miss Martinez was nice enough to take a family picture of us.

Candy Cane Lane

 After the lights we went home and the kids got to open their Christmas pjs.

For whatever reason Easton's pjs look pink here but they are definitely red.

Blakely Ann!

Blakely at 3 months!

Blakely had her two month check up two days before she was three months old.  She was 13 lbs 2 oz and 24 in. long.  She is definitely my tallest baby so far!


Blakely's newest thing this month is she loves to stand up.  She just wants someone to hold her up in the standing position.  She is starting to not like the swing, bouncy chair, or playmat as much because of this.  She does like her bumbo chair for short periods of time.


Blakely likes to be part of the action. She can't stand being by herself.  As long as she can see someone and they are giving her the attention she wants, she's a pretty content baby.

Blakely loves putting her fingers in her mouth these days!  I almost think she prefers them over her binkie.


We've gotten her to giggle a little bit but still not the full belly laugh that I'm anxiously awaiting!  Can't wait!


She still loves that tongue of hers.  I just love her smile.  It is very contagious.  Blakely has started doing a flirty look that Easton did as a baby.  It makes me smile every time she does it.


Blakely is still sleeping in our room and that is because she is still not very consistent with her sleeping.  There have been nights where she will sleep about 8-10 hours but most of the time she still gets up at least once a night to eat.  


Blakely really enjoys Easton!  Easton is really cute with her too!  He is my go to person when I'm busy making dinner.  He is very good at entertaining her so I can get things done.  The best part (for now) is he doesn't complain and is always willing to do it!



Blakely likes to talk (coo) a lot.
