Merry Christmas!

So as some of you may know we went to Michigan for Christmas this year. Needless to say its been a blast so far! We went to our first green bay Packers game, took Lilly sledding and taught her to make snow angels, spent some quality time with our family, and woke up and exchanged gifts.

Lilly was so excited when she saw all of the gifts that Santa had brought for her. She wanted to play with every toy as she opened them. Once they were all open she couldn't decide what she wanted to play with.

Logan even got a couple of things. Obviously he isn't old enough to understand what was going on but he was not left out.

Once all the gifts were unwrapped and some toys opened for Lilly we went to grandpa's house for dinner. Now everyone is home and napping (except for me).

I'm so thankful that Mr. W and I had the opportunity to come home for the holidays and to give our kids a wonderful Christmas. And I just wanna say before I end this post, we all need to be thankful for what we receive this holiday season because not everyone is so lucky. I hope everyone had a great holiday!

Go Pack Go!

So Sunday mr. W and I did something that we have wanted to do for a very long time. We went to our very first packers game. It was freezing cold but totally worth it! We woke up early and did some tailgating and then headed into the frozen tundra where The packers played the Tennessee titans and won 55-7.

It might take awhile but I can't wait to go to another game in the future.

Bittersweet

So as I told you all in my last post, my dad came to visit us. We had a great time and I am so happy that he got to spend some time with us and the kids close to the holidays. I know we will see him next month but its still sad to see him go. On the bright side this next month will be alot of fun and we will be pretty busy, which means more posts to keep everyone updated on the happenings of our family!

Mommy Monday: December

So since I'm no longer doing "Tummy Tuesday" (for the obvious reason) I've decided to do a monthly "Mommy Monday." Basically it's going to be a monthly update on the kids, from their mommy's point of view. So here goes nothing...

Lillian

Age: 2yrs 9mos
Height: 3ft
Favorite food: hotdogs with ketchup
Favorite color: pink
Favorite animal: penguin (aka whoa whoa)
Other: Lillian had a very exciting month. She became a big sister, had her grandpa come visit, took a trip to Michigan, saw her gammy and papaw, and had a super Christmas, where Ashe was spoiled rotten.


Logan

Age: 1 month
Height: 22in
Weight: 9lbs
Other: Logan also had a great month. He got to see his grand parents for the first time,and even got to celebrate his first Christmas.

The First Week

Baby Logan is already a week old and I can't believe how time has flown. Lilly is doing very well with him and just wants to help with every little thing. My dad has also come down to visit and Lilly is loving every minute. He even bought her a "big sister present" which was a little people Disney princess castle complete with all the princesses and cinderella's carriage. And she has played with it everyday since she got it.

Lilly is having so much fun with her grandpa and dad since he is on his paternity leave. We have gone to the park and even the zoo. She "helped" me with Logan in the car while we drove to the zoo. She held his bottle to feed him an even held his hand when he started getting cranky. I think it's safe to say she is really enjoying being a big sister.

Logan is becoming more active everyday and his sleep schedule is starting to fall into place. He's awake right now which is why I'm posting so late and from my phone. Thankfully he is slowly falling back asleep so I'll leave you all with some picture from the past week.

Goodnight everyone!
