GIRLS WEEKEND!  The girls came to visit, Keri, Lindsay and Cori and the kids loved them- of course!  We read books, laid around and ate lobster too!  

The snow is slowly starting to melt and we hope to start getting outside more often, Norah is especially anxious to play on her swing set!  Oakely is now 7 months and up on all fours and rocking, so we will have our hands full with 2 on the go kids pretty soon we're guessing.  Norah will be 3 next month and is awaiting her birthday with lots of excitement. She continues to be such a wonderful big sister and Oakley just laughs and laughs whenever he is around her.  She keeps him plenty entertained!  

                                                           We have had so much snow!  Mom has had lots of snow days to stay home and play!  This is us sledding out to get the mail at the end of the driveway and then we continued on until Oakley was cold.  We made a huge snow tunnel and fort in our pile of snow from the plow truck plowing our driveway, it has been a really fun winter so far!  Norah even went down the sledding hill by herself a few times.




                                                 

 Sometimes its hard to resist taking pictures of their crying faces.  He sucks his bottom lip up and it's so cute and sad at the same time....

                                                                  SPAGHETTI!!!

                                           Sweet potato for the first time.  I made a yucky face but kept
                                            on eating it...



Dinner at the Wiz's

It was great to see our friends from Belfast a few weeks ago.  Baby Oakley and Camilla had a good time having tummy time together and the rest of the girls ran around and played kitchen. 

Christmas

Christmas Eve we went to Grammie and Grampie Shepard's house with Grampie's side of the family and who should stop by but Santa! We were very talkative and even sat next to him, though we still didn't want him to touch us- he couldn't even get a handshake.  We ran outside to see his sleigh take off but missed it...

Christmas Day Norah was up at 6 am excited to go downstairs. Oakley slept until 8:00 and missed all the excitement.  We saved a few for him to open though.  After we opened our presents we headed to Grammie and Grampie Shepard's for more presents and to visit with Aunt Elsie and Aunt Carol and Uncle Wayne.  Oakley again slept through most of the opening of gifts in Grammie's arms, but when he did wake he just wanted to eat the presents.  Norah got legos and then wanted to stop and play with them and a pink sleeping bag for camping this summer!
