Emily is 18 months!

Emily turned 18 months old on Monday!  This girl is growing so fast and has SO much personality.   She is sweet and silly, she loves shoes and bags...total girly girl, and she is pretty much fearless.  She has an attitude too, already talks back and if I ever tell her not to do something she makes every effort to do it anyway!  She is so smart, she surprises me everyday with all the stuff she knows.  And she talks...A LOT, she has tons of words and is even saying some sentences already. Oh, and she is super duper cute too :)

Christmas 2013

We had such a great Christmas this year!
Christmas Eve Andrew and Emily got dressed up and we went to mass.  Emily was adorable, she was singing along in church "LA la LA, LA la LA".  Andrew really wanted to go sing with the choir and could not wait to go look at baby Jesus in the manger scene after mass.

Christmas morning we got up to a huge pile of presents left by Santa.  I took lots of video I will work on getting on here soon.  It is so fun opening presents with these babies.  Andrew gets so excited about everything he opens "WOW, a flashlight, it's COOL!  Look what I got, A BOOK!" Emily even got into opening presents this year instead of just playing with the boxes.

Christmas afternoon my parents came over with more presents! Andrew got a scooter, I didn't even know he knew what a scooter was. He opened it and said "A scooter?! A Scooter for Andrew?!?!"  then he hopped on and took off!

Emily got a new car and some new kicks, this girl LOVES shoes!

Cookies for Santa and the last soccer game

Andrew and I worked hard on Friday making cookies for Santa.  Andrew really loves to help with anything around the house, but he especially likes to help out in the kitchen.  He was a really great cookie baker, he unwrapped all the butter for me, dumped measuring cups in bowls, and helped scoop chocolate chip cookies.  But he was probably most helpful for his cookie tasting :)

Saturday was Andrew's last soccer game of the season.  They lost...big time, but Andrew couldn't care less.  Not many of his teammates showed up so he got to play the whole game.  And he got a trophy!
