Love your girls! Ramona is getting so big! Glad you were all together for Christmas. I loved your mantle with all the stockings! Can't wait to see you in a few weeks!

Whoa- you were not kidding about that dollhouse! That is so great! Looks like you had a wonderful time- I still need to see the Bears jacket.

Those sprinkles! Those girls in their red dresses singing solos! That baby cow! That doll house! That cookies for Santa plate! Looks like a very happy Christmas. How nice.

Amazing. I wish you would stop this wax museum portrayal of your life. Just kidding. But seriously, the picture of Christmas Eve is practically Norman Rockwell it's so exactly what Christmas Eve should look like. The house is quiet and the stockings are hung...

Also, I can't believe your girls are wearing (am I right?) their Christmas dresses from last year. Do they not grow?

Laughed out loud of the picture of Lulu and the wheelbarrow. Miss you guys so much.

I also laughed out loud when the wheelbarrow picture came up - so cute! And Ramona in the cow PJs - she is amazingly adorable. And Cyra is getting so tall! We miss you guys...

I was laughing out loud when I saw the pictures of Lulu with her bag of stuff, and then all of it in the wheelbarrow, but mostly because she and Ruby are exactly the same in that respect. Ruby carries EVERYTHING around with her, and usually has at least 3 purses stuffed to the hilt with anything she can get her hands on. She'll even find small boxes around the house just put things in them for no reason. Seeing another kid with the same tendencies is pretty endearing, but it makes me want to pull my hair out somedays.

Seeing that picture of the dollhouse makes me wish I'd ordered that one, as we are still without one here and i know my girls would love it. Ahhh.... maybe next year.

Love all the pictures. Love you guys!
