| Brynn was so excited to open her Secret Santa Shop gift from Adrienne! |
 |
| Playing so nicely putting together A's new legos from Chris, Audrey, John, and Ellie! |
 |
| We have never seen them so dedicated to something as the Christmas Countdown Calendar! |
 |
| Running to throw a snowball at Mommy! |

| My snow angels! |
 |
| Trying out their new crafts from Great Grandma! |
 |
| Grandma and Grandpa took them out to eat while they were in town! |
Brynn:
 |
| Butters says, "Heeeelp meeeeee!" |
 |
| Brynn set up a salon in her room! |
 |
| Only charged 10 cents for services, but I was a good tipper :) |
 |
| B's giant snowball! |
 |
| Watching the snow the next morning while eating breakfast. |
 |
| Turned the corner and found them in the pantry! |
 |
| Someone got braces! Yes, they do things a lot earlier now (I've been getting a lot of questions!) This is all part of "Phase One." |
 |
| Brynn got to go to the movies with her friend, Lanna! |
 |
| Naptime! |
 |
| Sleepover with Caitlin! |
Adrienne:
 |
| Reading Butters a story! |
 |
| The look I got when she didn't want to wait any longer for her friend to pick her up for a birthday party! |
 |
| I fell asleep on the couch one night and about stepped on a sleeping Adrienne when I got up! |
 |
| Accidentally smacked her in the glasses with a snowball! Whoops! |
 |
| Reading |
 |
| Her finished Lego reindeer. She did not want her face in this particular picture. |
 |
| Christmas party at school! |
 |
| I got to be one of the party moms for A's class. |
 |
| Butters wanted to fish with us too! |
Ben and Emily:
 |
| My snuggle buddy. |
 |
| Ben deep in thought working on his card game. |
 |
| I had a LuLaRoe party at my house! So fun! |
 |
| Lunch with my favorite girlfriends after the school Christmas party! |
 |
| Mommy's new toy to make lattes at home! |
Carnegie Museum Visit: We wanted to get one more visit in before our membership expires in January!
 |
| The museum opened a fancy new restaurant (formally a more casual cafe)! |
 |
| We didn't realize this and packed PB&J's, so the girls ate their lunch on the fancy new dishes! |
Phipps Conservatory Holiday Lights Visit: We will definitely be back to see this again in the future!
Christmas:
Christmas Morning:
Ben has organized some amazing scavenger hunts for the girls the past couple of Christmases! Here are there hunts for their gifts from us this year:
 |
| Making mini Christmas cakes! |
 |
| Granddad joined in the decorating. |
 |
| Brynn showing off her homemade slime to Granddad! |
 |
| Christmas Eve movie! |
 |
| Watching The Grinch! |
 |
| Decided to go with lasagna for Christmas dinner this year! |
 |
| Christmas "cakies" for Santa. Complete with plastic wrap so Butters wouldn't eat them. |
 |
| Christmas morning! |
New Year's Eve:
 |
| Woke up to this sunrise on the 31st! |
 |
| Waiting for Daddy! |
 |
| Played cards while we were counting down to midnight! |
 |
| If you're wondering where Ben is in these pictures, Adrienne was ready to leave the party around 8:30, and Brynn shortly after. I hung in there all night :) |
 |
 |
| My wrapping helper. |
 |
| Went to put laundry away in Adrienne's room and found him under a blanket on her bed! Not sure how he did that! |
 |
| He knows he's not supposed to be on the counter, but we caught him trying to sneak hot chocolate! |
 |
| He was napping like this in my lap! |
 |
| I was trying to fold laundry and he would NOT move. |
 |
| Christmas kitty! |
 |
| It's been so long since he's done this, but he unrolled a whole large roll of toilet paper! |
 |
| Post-Christmas nap with B. |
 |
| Must guard my laser mouse! |
 |
| Yelling at us that it's time for dinner!! |
 |
| Took a nap in my lap with his head under the table! |
 |
| Relaxing in our bed. |

| We have something in the works! Can't wait to show you the completed project!! |
