December

We cannot believe that time has flown by and December is almost over! Here are some of our pre-Christmas activities.  It was a relatively warm month in Denver but we did get a little bit of snow that allowed Katie to get bundled up and play outside!
 When she came inside her Dad introduced her to hot chocolate. She loved it of course!
Katie also loved to decorate the Christmas Tree. Robby bounced away while we decorated. It was a blast!
Robby really enjoyed seeing the lights.
It turned out pretty nicely!
In addition to Christmas prep, we've spent alot of time just hanging out as a family. It is always exciting when Nana and Poppy come down to visit.
Katie has turned into a very busy little girl. She spends alot of time looking at books and playing dress-up! Robby loves to watch her!
She always makes sure that everyone in the house participates in her dress-up activities.  Here she is in Mom's competitive swimming suit from college as as well as a variety of other accessories...
 She also loves to deck everyone out in headbands....including dogs!
 Robby was next....
Stay tuned for the Christmas post coming soon!

Robby 5 Months and November

 We can hardly believe our Robby Boy is already 5 months old! He is still a smiley, giggly guy who loves to quietly observe everything that is going on.
 
 On Thanksgiving we decided to try to offer Robby solids for the first time. Just like his sister, he wasn't a huge fan. He wouldn't eat the oatmeal at all so we moved on to apples. He did open his mouth a couple of times to get some but immediately had a very sour face on once he got them...
 He seemed interested in food but we don't think he's quite ready yet! Since Robby got to be fed in the high chair, Katie had to give it a try as soon as he was done. Of course!
Another big event in the month of November was starting a new school. Here is Katie all ready to go.
Their new school is about 4 minutes away from our house which is really convenient!
Once inside, Katie had no problem adjusting. Both she and Robby settled in immediately. Robby's teachers told me that he is everyone's favorite and teachers from all the other classrooms come by to see him throughout the day. They LOVE both him and Katie which makes us very happy!
Before Thanksgiving we had a couple of Katie's friends from her old school over along with their parents to watch a Broncos game. We all had a great time!
The highlight of the day was when Katie, Ashlynn and Jackson played dress-up. They did this all on their own and we found them up in Katie's room all dressed up. Hysterical!
Jackson in the pink skirt and Broncos jersey was a hoot!
Over Thanksgiving weekend, Katie continued the theme by wearing high heels a large portion of the time. What a girly girl!
We had a very relaxing Thanksgiving filled with food, friends and football!
 I can't be more thankful for my wonderful husband and amazing children. I have everything I have ever wanted and couldn't ask for anything more!
