The month of December has flown by!  The kids are growing so much, it is hard to remember them when they were little babies! 
 
A day at the beach! Mike and Nancy have this great little spot in their community.  There is a beach right on the lake. The kids had a blast!

Getting reading for Valentine's Day!

December has quickly become my favorite month of the year.  Not only do I get to have Santa on speed dial...but his Elf, named "Elf" makes a trip, each day, to check on the kids' behaviors!  This makes life a little LESS hectic...a little. 

John is doing great.  VERY excited about the upcoming holiday.  He is asking for a firehouse with a police car, lego sets, a cement mixer and a snorkeling mask (??).  He is having a wonderful year in school.  He is getting better at writing his name, coloring inside the lines and playing with others.  He is looking forward to preforming in his Christmas recital, where he will be singing Silent Night and Go Tell It On the Mountain, with his class.

Evie is getting smarter and smarter...by the minute.  She is the Boss of John John and knows it.  Not sure if she really understands the whole Santa thing...but is asking for baby dolls and pink panties for Christmas.  She has become excellent at climbing furniture, removing her diaper and coloring on the walls.  She is SO Cute though...and that is why she is still alive.

Will is a little butterball.  His belly is SO round that it is hard to even see he legs when he's in the tub!  His hobbies are Eating, Eating and Eating.  He loves to play "ball" and is starting to play more with the other two.  He is the HAPPIEST baby on the block and his FAVORITE person, in LIFE, is Nano!

We had an AMAZING Christmas this year!  We spent Christmas Eve over at Nano and Papa's house.  We had a yummy dinner and opened a bunch of fun gifts.  The kids had a BLAST and were exhausted by the time we made it back to the house.  Santa was hard at work putting together all of the packages while mom made the breakfast casserole!  Christmas morning was a HIT!  The kids had a wonderful time ripping apart all of the wrapping paper and playing with the new toys!
