It's the holiday season. Do you know what that means? Baking! We made my favorite . . . chocolate chip cookies. This was Elena's first time licking the beaters. She liked it!
We went to a local farm the Saturday after Thanksgiving to get our Christmas tree. It looked smaller in the big open space of the farm! When Jorge brought it inside we were surprised at how big it was, but we have a high, sloped ceiling so it looks beautiful. You can see how tiny Elena is crouching next to it.
The local YMCA brought in snow and had craft activities for the kids. Elena had fun. She wanted to make a snowman so Jorge showed her how to make a teeny tiny one.
And we went to the park after.
We've been doing some crafts at home too.
We're trying to do something with Elena every day for Christmas, whether it's a craft activity, visiting Santa, looking at Christmas lights, etc. So far she's visited Santa several times, had her picture taken with him, done several Christmas crafts, and looked at Christmas lights in the local neighborhood that is really decorated.
Meanwhile, Samuel is growing up so fast. It's amazing how babies can look different from one day to the next. He is so sweet and easygoing, and even when he gets fussy it's really not too bad. He's being really easy on me! That's not to say that he doesn't go through a few outfits each day and I don't even know how many times he's peed on me or his surroundings. But that's okay.
While Elena was napping one day, Samuel was hanging out with me while I started dinner. He was so content.
I love my babies, and I love seeing them enjoy the holidays!
