Twas the Night Before Christmas

After leaving food for the Reindeer the twins took a bath, put on their Chirstmas PJs and we all read Twas the Night Before Christmas in their bedroom before bed.

Leaving food for Santa's Reindeer

After Church on Christmas Eve the twins sprinkled reindeer food (Oatmeal and glitter) on the front yard so they could have a snack while Santa delivered the presents!

The twins' friend Cannon came over to play for a couple of hours while his mommy went to an appointment. The kids had a blast. Cannon's mommy was worried he'd cry the whole time, but he only cried for less than a minute (just long enough to make his mommy worry!).

Brian teaching them to make silly faces!

They all sat together without any prompting. There is no way I could have planned this picture! Now, if only would smile!

Rolly Pollies Class

We have been taking the twins to Rolly Pollies on Monday nights for a toddler gym class. Monday's are a bit chaotic for us because the twins normally go to bed at 7pm, but in order for Brian to come to the class with us we are going to 6-7pm class. A few other kids in the class are on a similar bedtime schedule as us so we've renamed the class the Rolly Pollies Pajama Party because the kids come dressed in their PJs! The twins are the youngest in the class but are doing great! They sing songs, do stretches, do obstacle courses and activities, sing more songs, and then have open play. We all look forward to our chaotic family time on Monday nights!

New Toothbrush

The twins do not enjoy brushing their teeth to say the least! We got them each their own electric toothbrush and now they love it! We had their first dentist check up at 18 months and they are quickly approaching their first cleaning (when they turn 2). I am hoping that by starting to like the idea of brushing their teeth will make the official cleaning less traumatic!

Trip to the Fair!

I am way behind in updating the blog. Brian has been working crazy hours (he goes in at 4:30am and comes home sometime after 7:30pm) so I've been busy with the twins and neglecting the blog!

In November we took the kids to the Coastal Carolina Fair with our Friend Amanda and her little girl Taylor. We went to the petting zoo, rode a few rides, and even ate some curly fries! We were a little worried how the kids would do on the rides, but they had a blast! Can't wait to take them to the Puyallup Fair in WA!

Halloween

Grandma and Grandpa Sullivan flew in from Massachusetts for Halloween this year and the twins dressed up as a lady bug and a bumble bee. They were super cute and said "trick or treat please". Sometimes Parker got confused and would knock on the door and say "Bumble Bee".

At one house Parker walked right past the candy bowl, into the house and asked for the pizza that was sitting on the coffee table (luckily this was the grandmother of our friends down the street that we were trick or treating with)! At another house he was knocking continuously on the door and when the woman answered the door he fell into her house!

Rylee got the hang of trick or treating very quickly. She took candy for herself and then took another handful and said it was for Parker. We're not sure if she was being a nice sister or secretly trying to get extra candy. She had a blast. In fact every time she wants candy now she says "I go trick or treating?".
