Update on the girls!

We just celebrated Christmas and New Years with the girls and our large extended family. What a fun Christmas it was with Emily being 3.5 and Hannah 1.5. We hosted 3 Christmas celebrations here, 4 including our own family in the morning. It was busy, busy. busy but loads of fun.

Emily is loving being a big sister and is quite nurturing towards Hannah. She is excellent at sharing, except when she's tired! We are working on figuring out whey she STILL won't sleep through the night. I honestly cannot remember the last time I slept all night long (well, except for last night because the girls were at Grandma and Granddad's...hell yeah!) Emily asked Santa for a Barbie doll for Christmas and was beyond thrilled to see it on Christmas morning. It is also her least frequently played with present. Her most favorite gift this year? The game Pretty, Pretty Princess from her Uncle Dave. We play it daily.

Hannah is our wild child. She falls on a daily basis and climbs anything in sight. She has quite an arm on her too, throwing everything in sight! She is starting to talk a lot now too, and can say:
Oh no
uh-oh
yes/yeah
no (especially NO mama!)
thank you (day-doo)
I doooo
kitty
hi
please
juice (deuce)
pee (i peeeee...anytime she sees the toilet)
dada
mama
emmy
night-night (nigh-nigh)
baby
all done
and a bunch of strung-together gibberish!
