Flight

Our flight home on Christmas Eve was almost a disaster. When we checked in at the Montrose, CO airport we found out our flight was 3+ hours delayed (which meant we would miss all of our connections). The woman at the desk cheerfully told us that she could get us home by 4pm the following day (Christmas Day). She was planning to have us fly to Chicago at 3pm on Christmas Eve and then hang out at the airport with 11 month old twins for 20 hours and catch an 11am flight from Chicago to DC and then DC to Charleston on Christmas day...I politely told her I didn't think that would work out very well for us or anyone else in the Chicago airport. To make a long story short, the woman at the desk was very patient and eventually found a way to get us all home by by 11:45pm Christmas Eve...and she put us in first class! Our seats were amazing. They actually reclined completely to make a bed. It was like the twins had their own little playroom during the flight!

Telluride, Colorado

We just returned from 2 weeks in Colorado visiting Grampy and Yia Yia. The twins loved the snow! Some highlights of the trip were sledding, ice skating, playing with Buster the dog, finally getting to ride in the car facing forward (and getting to watch DVDs while in the car!), spending time with grampy and yia yia, and of course opening presents!

Playing the guitar with Daddy

Brian has been playing the guitar for the twins and they love it! Parker sings and dances and Rylee usually just watches, but today she decided it was her turn to play the guitar!

Cruising!

Today the twins found a box to play with and it was way more fun than any of their toys. However, the next thing I see is Rylee pushing the box and walking behind it! We quickly grabbed the camera because this is the first time she has ever attempted to walk. Parker has been pulling up consistently since yesterday so given how long Rylee has been pulling up before trying to walk (more than a month) we were VERY surprised when Parker crawled up to the box, pulled himself up and began pushing and walking too! Luckily we were already recording Rylee so we got it all on camera! However...apparently the video is too big so I have been having trouble getting it to upload. Here are two individual smaller videos of the twins cruising. They are not as good as the one of them doing it together, but you'll get the idea :)
