We have had a very lovely December. It has been so warm the babies and I have gone to the park several times. Most park trips last for about 10 minutes and then break down into mass chaos punctuated with weeping and wailing. Usually both babies are running in different directions (generally straight for the street) while I run in zig-zags after them yelling and flailing my arms. Seeing the vision yet? Once I catch Rose, she starts screaming bloody murder while an elderly lady walking her dog asks if we are ok and if we need help. I say, "No, we're fine thanks," while I am actually thinking, "Only heaven could help us now!!!" I recently made a solemn oath to never take the babies to the park by myself again. That lasted about a week and then I was back at it. :) Couldn't miss out on the great weather.
The babies have been dressing in style for the Christmas season (thanks yard sales!) and I love taking pictures of them all dressed up. Rose got sick on Christmas Eve, but still managed to have a fun holiday. The big present they received from Santa was a little slide. Lili went down over and over saying "Whee! Whee!" Rose's favorite gift was a My Little Pony doll with a little bottle. She has been carrying it around ever since. Pretty cute. We all enjoyed spending time with family and everyone was so thoughtful and generous to the babies. Thanks everyone for thinking of our girls!
