Christmas 2012

Christmas Eve
Whitney came into town for Christmas with her boyfriend, and so we all went out to lunch Christmas Eve Day.  It was so much fun having Whit in town again.  Hazel cried when she left.

These Christmas Eve pictures were from my phone, but they were the only pictures we took.

Christmas Morning
 Hazel and Hattie both got Skootcases (scooter suitcases) and they love them.  They also have straps you hook on the front so you can pull them through the airport.  We'll see how they work when we go on our next trip, but in the mean time they love them as scooters around the house.
Hattie loved her candy in her stocking.  She would pull out a toy and not even care and would scream when she saw the candy.  You can see she is still holding her candy with her scooter.  The morning after Christmas she found the mini recess peanut butter cups and ate several.  I found the wrappers and chocolate all over her face later.  She apparently didn't get all of the foil off because we found it in her diaper. 

Hattie patiently waiting to play with her toy as Hazel shows her how to use it. 



Hazel and Hattie both got new baby dolls, and they LOVED them.  Hazel said it was just what she wanted.  They are both going to be great big sisters to their new brother or sister who is coming in May.  We find out what we're having next week.  Hazel is hoping it is a brother because she already has a sister.

Brendan's Birthday
Brendan's birthday is Christmas day, so we always celebrate it in the evening.  Brendan always requests cheesecake instead of regular cake.  This year I made caramel apple cheesecake.

Congrats on the new baby. I have been suspicious since like October...but I've just been patiently waiting for you to announce it. I'm so happy for you. You have a beautiful family and a wonderful mom, friend, person, etc. You're just so talented. You're one of those people who makes everything look easy, and you LOOK fabulous doing it.
