Back home

Sarah enjoying her cake while celebrating Papa's birthday:

 The girls enjoying time with mommy & daddy's friends, Kenny & Kyoung Yim:

 Sarah was close to crawling out of her crib.  So we had to switch her to a toddler bed (which makes mommy so very sad at how fast she is growing up):

Thanks for the great Minnie bed set Mimi.  Sarah seems to love it!

Christmas

Here are pictures of Christmas.  Emma in her outfit:

 Sarah in hers (thanks again to Aunt Stephanie):

 Emma like him though:

 Sarah loved playing with the boxing gloves she found:

 She finally warmed up to her outfit:

 Modeling the new hats they got:

 Helping Grandma make chocolate pretzels:

The girls also had a great time playing on the couch:

Fun at Uncle Scott's

While in Chicago, we got to visit Uncle Scott's new house.  The girls were a huge fan of the pool table:

Learning how to play pool:

Fun at Aunt Stephanie's

Relaxing and watching a movie in the theater:

Coloring on the floor (with special markers that don't color anything but the paper):

We had a great time at a restaurant called All Aboard (a train themed restaurant).  Here are the kids watching all the things up front:

Waiting for our lunch to come on the train:

Sarah and Kayla enjoying some breakfast together:

All around the Christmas tree, sort of:

Modeling presents:

Enjoying some snow eating in the backyard:

Thanks for a great time Aunt Stephanie, Uncle Mike & Kayla!

Sledding

The girls got to go sledding for the first time this season.  Emma had a blast:

 Sarah didn't like the actual sledding, but she liked being pulled on the sled by her daddy:

She also liked to wait in the warm car with papa:

Early Christmas

Because we are never home on Christmas Day, Santa comes to our house early.  Boy did the girls have fun with presents!

Here is Sarah on her new couch (this was the hit of the day)

With her new sunglasses:

 The girls sharing the couch:

Here are the girls when they first saw the presents:

Here is Emma opening her gifts:
