Two-fer Today

Alrighty!  I am two handed tonight, but it is late, and I missed last week, and I'm going to try to keep this quick.  To start off I just have a cute picture of the kids.  Monica took it, so I don't know if there's more to it then that.  Also, I just noticed that Brooke has a phone in her pocket, and it reminded me that sometime in the last two weeks Winry was playing with a toy phone, and shoved it in her pants in the approximate location a pocket would be.  It was pretty great!

Sometime in the past few weeks on Sunday we were talking about Christmas and the symbolism between the things around us that we see all the time and how they relate to Christ.  I asked if anyone could think of how various things like lights, etc. could be symbols of Christ.  I asked about presents and Brooke raised her hand and said "I know!  Presents are like miracles!  And Jesus performed a bunch of miracles!"  SOO cute!

Now that I see this picture better Monica will be thrilled I put it in.  The picture is supposed to be of ever vigilant Jelly helping out with Grayson, so ignore the yawn.  Thanks.

Grayson decided pooping was overrated for a while.  We called the doctor to see when we needed to worry about it, and they also mentioned that you can give a bottle of apple juice to help them poop.  The girls were VERY excited to get to give Grayson a real bottle!  Everyone had to help out.

Brooke and Winry picked out matching outfits, and it was even their overalls!  What cuties.

Here's Winry in her Frozen night gown!  Also just here cause it's cute!

Monica signed up for a kid photo shoot thing.  The plan was just for the kids, but when we got there Santa was still there from the group before!  The girls were so cute when they saw him.  Winry stopped dead, her mouth fell open and she stared.  Brooke ran up and gave Santa a hug.  At that point it didn't seem like there was any harm in letting the girls get a picture with Santa too!  So here they are all together.

Brooke put on her Moana costume this past week and made her scary Maui face!

Last Monday was Brooke's winter showcase at dance class.  They couldn't have everyone there, so instead they did a video call.  It was a lot of fun to watch, and I recorded her special dance that they worked on!

Here's Grayson denying his pacifier.  It's unfortunately a thing he does often.  We've been using an arms up swaddle, and he'll swipe his hand back and forth across his mouth while he's asleep, almost like he wants to wake up and be a grump.

The girls started playing Grinch the last few days.  I don't know if they already knew before, but they found the leash thing that came with a backpack we got for Brooke.  We've never used the leash, but they sure loved it!  Whoever had the backpack on was Max, the Grinch's dog and towed the Grinch along.  They played this for a LONG time, and the only problem with it was that they just kept screaming, and SCREAMING!  It was loud...

Here's Grayson doing tummy time this morning!  What a head lifter he is!

We went and played in the snow today!  We did sledding, and snow balls (I almost hit Brooke in the face twice with a snowball when she'd duck turn around), and snow angles.

I pulled the girls in circles around the yard on the sled to, which is always the favorite.  Brooke even pulled Winry as you can see in the previous picture.

I think that's all I've got for the past two weeks.  I think having a new baby is finally really starting to catch up with me (unless I said that before...) and I'm starting to be a lot more tired in general!  Have a great week!
