sledding with the Mays










Here are some pictures of us sledding with Jared's family. We all went up to Eaglewood golf course as part of our Christmas get-together. You can't tell from the pictures but the hill was huge!!! We all had so much fun Jared and I went back another day without Rees and TJ so we could enjoy it a little more and Emma went down the giant hill all by herself. I kept asking her if it was scary (I was a little scared) and she just kept telling me she went soooo fast but it was soooo fun.
Poor Anna had to carry Natty and pull Emma in the sled. Luckily it was just the small hill.


Jared with TJ and Rees

TJ was cold and wouldn't let Jared put him down




after sledding

After sledding we all gathered at Margaret's house for dinner and the traditional Christmas program. Emma and TJ were exhausted after having so much fun. After the progam Audrey tried to teach everyone a line dance, here is a short video clip of the dancers. Keep an eye on Margaret (back left with the blue shirt).

2 months old!!!


Rees just turned 2 months old the other day. I took her to her 2 month doctors visit and found out she is in the 81% for her weight. She is getting little rolls everywhere and a very cute double chin. Her head size on the other hand was only 53%, compared to Emma and TJ's who were always in the 90-100%.

done...finally!!!



We finally finished decorating the tree and I thought I had better take a picture because I knew it wouldn't look like that for long. All of those pretty ornaments are very tempting to a 2 year old boy. Emma was very proud of her work and couldn't wait to suprise Jared when he got home.

lots of "help"




Jared was out of town when we decorated our tree this year so it was up to me and the kids. Of course they had to help with everything. As you can imagine, it was very fun and very frustrating at times. Emma liked to put the hooks on the ornaments so she would get them ready and give them to me to put on the tree...TJ was giving me ornaments to put on too but instead of getting them out of the box, he got them off the tree. Between trying to keep up with TJ, keeping him from hitting the colorful balls with his toy bat, and trying to keep Rees happy it only took us three days to finish.

growing up too fast

I took Emma and TJ to get their pictures taken at the elementary school and i thought they turned out so cute. Emma was practicing her smile the whole way there, it was hilarious. They are growing up so fast!!!
