Merry Christmas!

What IS this thing? :P

I don't know, but I'm going for it :)

This is fun!

And so is riding on this!!

The girls are still working on sharing which made unwrapping
all new toys "interesting" :P But sometimes they surprised us :)

Look at 'em bowl!! :)

Rachel thought she had to bend in half to shoot!!

Reaching for the dunk :)

Josh and I painted a wall with magnetic paint!! The girls thought
it was pretty cool that these animals stuck!

Rock Star!!! :)

Attack the daddy :)

Emily turned 2!!! Daddy got to take the day off with her and they went
to the Children's Museum! She loved it! Happy Birthday Emily!! :)

Playing in the water!

Balls are always fun!

Tinkertoys can double as drums :)

This time of year also meant an early Christmas celebration!

Rachel loved burying herself under the xmas blankets!

We put a bow on Rachel's head and then she thought she
needed to put more up there! Funny girl :P

Emily liked to help open presents with everyone!

Showing off her new princess pj's!

There's also been plenty of playtime...as always!

Both girls love these musical cards!!

Rachel getting into the shopping cart.

And she's up on her knees now!

The girls being cute together :)

And Josh and Rachel being cute together :)

Em posing in front of our tree :)

Teaching Rachel about all the colors!

Grammy was in town for a visit!

Which meant more Zoo Lights!!

This time we met a dinosaur!

Rachel looking all cute bundled up!

Emily wearing one of my baby dresses!!

And now one of Grammy's baby dresses! This
was made by Emily's great grandma Barbara!!

Playing with Rachel :)

Both girls love the window clings!

GO Univ. of Oregon DUCKS!!!!

It was Civil War day and we dressed the girls accordingly :)

Fall leaves are fun :)

Wait, what am I supposed to do here?

Emily -- our little goof ball :)

Rachel decided to start army crawling...slowly but surely.

Snow day at home with the girls!! :)

Rachel sooooo wants to follow Em!

Rachel figured out the ball drop!

Emily loves her stickers!!

Rachel thought she was pretty cool leaning up on the
couch and looking over at Emily in the play kitchen!

We went to ZOO LIGHTS at the Portland Zoo!!

So pretty!! But a little chilly too, so the girls were bundled!

They both seemed to really like it, but Emily's favorite
part was seeing the train go by!! She'd go "choo-choo!"
