Girls, Girls, Girls...

The girls in their cribs. Chantrell is standing and jumping up and down. We call her the "wild child."
"Mom...I'm awake. Come and pick me up." And all that I hear is waaaaaaahhhhh!!!
Brenna is still sleeping through the screaming.
"OK, I'll be quiet and just eat the railing until she wakes up."
"What the heck are you guys doing?? I'm trying to sleep around here."
Later in the week...while I cook dinner, I give the girls pots and pans and spoons to play with. It is so cute to see them banging them around.

Tasting the wooden spoon. Brenna was in the kitchen and Chantrell was off crawling somewhere.

Bathtime with Brenna and Chantrell. Brenna loves to chew on the plastic toys.
Extreme close up.

Surprise!! "Mom!!! I'm naked in here."

"Well, if you insist on taking my picture...here is my best smile."
Extreme close up.
The girls together in the bath.
They are both looking at each other. Too cute!!

Shampoo time!! They love taking baths and playing with their toys.

January Pictures--Twins are 8 months old.

In January, Chantrell was learning how to stand up and walk around the furniture. She loves to get into the DVD's and eat the boxes.
She got caught in the act.
"I wonder if my mommy is watching me?"
"Yup!! She is watching me...Busted!!" Look at that adorable smile.
Brenna was still belly crawling but she has now learned how to crawl just as fast as her sister.
Pretty red hair and blue eyes. I love how the girls look in all pink...just precious.
Eight months old...time for a photo shoot with the teddy bear.

Close up of Chantrell.
And, close up of Brenna.
The lighting is better in these pictures. The girls are wrestling with the bear.
"Hi Mom!!"
Chantrell standing up all by herself and reaching for toys. Time for a little snack after our photo shoot.

We love our highchairs!!

Christmas Day

This is the last posting of Christmas pictures. Yeah!!!! I can't wait to get onto Jan, Feb, and now March pics.
Our tree with the presents all around.
Brenna's stocking and Monchhichi dolly. Her stocking was the first one that I made and it took me a month to complete. I remember having a Monchhichi doll in Germany when I was 7 years old. The song goes like this: Monchhichi, Monchhichi, Oh so soft and cuddly, With a thumb in her mouth she's really sweet, Fun to wiggle her little feet, Da, Da, Da,... Da, Da, Da.
Here is Chantrell's stocking and it took me a month to complete it as well. She has a doll too.
My doggie stocking that my mom made for me when I was a baby. Barry's stocking is a plain green one. I am thinking of making him a fancy one.
Adam's and Tiffany's stockings. My mom made us all really cute stockings when we were babies.
Ryder's stocking and pile of Santa gifts. Tiffany made Ryder his stocking from a kit like I did for my girls.
Racer's stocking and Santa gifts. Tiffany has to finish making his personalized stocking.
Rhiannon's gifts and stocking.
Christmas morning and the babies are playing with their new toys and gifts in their stockings.
Brenna is chewing on a baby toy.
My dad showing a gift. It's a Reindeer that "poops" candy. It was funny.
Dad hiding behind his shirt. He loves chocolate.
My mom opening up a gift. She told me that she loves to watch the grandkids open presents.
Barry hiding behind a Pictionary Man Game. I think it will be fun to play.
Rhiannon with a happy face looking at her new Bendaroos.
Ryder playing with a doggie puppet. It barks out the song "Jingle Bells."
Racer is playing with Nan's keyboard.
Brenna's first Christmas.
Chantrell in the background eating a toy. It's her first Christmas too.
Such a pretty picture of Tiffany. She is showing me her new make up. Her boyfriend Adam is next to her.
Nan is in her favorite Nike outfit.
Brenna is on the floor checking out her new computer toy.

I love how Chantrell is looking up and the light is coming through the window on her face.

Busy girl...lots of fun things to play with.

Outside, we had lots of snow and even saw a deer walking by.
