The Holidays

Well hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday season! I have been really bad about updating the blog but I am sure most of you can understand with all the events during this Holiday season. We had a wonderful Christmas! Taylor was really excited this year about Santa and all of her toys. She loved everything from Santa and all our friends and family. This year we had told Taylor that we needed to give her pacifiers to Santa Claus so he could give them to other little babies that didn't have one of their own. We explained that if she did this that Santa might bring her a Barbie Jeep. Taylor has always loved her pacifier but fortunately we had gotten to the point where she was only allowed to have it at night and for her nap. She was such a big girl Christmas Eve going to the Christmas tree and leaving all of her pacifiers there for Santa. That morning much to her delight Taylor saw that Santa had indeed left her a Barbie Jeep! Well we have been successful at letting go of the pacifier although now our child that has always been a great sleeper is not so great at it right now!!! She only asks for the pacifier once every now and then but she is up until ALL hours of the night. We still do our regular night time routine; she goes into her room between 7:30 and 8 and around 10 or 11 she is still awake in her room playing or crying for one of us?! Rob and I are not sure what to do as bed time has never been an issue like this (any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!)
She isn't even crying for her pacifier she is just whining and not attempting the whole sleep thing. Other than this issue (a big one actually right now!!), everything else is going great.
Caroline enjoyed her first Christmas. She got an awful cold the weekend before Christmas and still didn't feel great that morning. She was up a lot during the night before so she actually slept through everyone opening gifts on Christmas morning. Her big sister Taylor was more than happy to help Caroline open her gifts as I think Taylor really likes some of Caroline's new toys too! :)


Taylor making sure Santa didn't happen to forget to take her pacifiers that she left under the tree! (I am sure she hoped that she would find at least one!)

Opening all of her other gifts...


Still into the bows!
She loves her new computer too!
Thanks Grammy, Taylor has so much dress up clothes now & is loving being a princess
The first drive outside!



I am sure you can see in Caroline's eyes that she has a bad cold. I felt horrible for her as she was so pitiful but still adorable!


Just check out these cute PJ's (thanks yet again to Emily and Crawford!!!) And YES poor thing was up pretty much all night b/c of this nasty cold!



Opening her first Christmas gift for her very FIRST Christmas! She wouldn't let go so guess she liked it :)
