The holidays are among us and we couldn't be more ready! Yesterday we spent the day putting Christmas decorations up...something that Gwenie and I had been asking Jared to do for a few weeks. It was so much fun watching Gwenie's face as we put the Christmas tree up and decorated it. This is her first Christmas where she has really been able to help decorate, so we let her help decorate the tree and you could tell where she had put the ornaments :) When we were all finished decorating Gwenie said, "Mommy that's the most beautifulest Christmas tree ever." It was so cute! Of course I'm a little biased:) I can't wait see her face on Christmas morning! We plan on taking her and Max to see Santa sometime soon. She says she is going to sit on his lap, but we'll see how she does when we are actually there. These are just a few pictures from yesterday...
Other than getting ready for Christmas not much has been going on in our house. The football season is over...thank goodness...and basketball doesn't start for a couple more weeks, so it's been nice having Jared home at night! He also only has two more weeks of student teaching! If you could, please pray that he gets a job in January!
And I almost forgot to mention...Max started crawling this week! He's really slow, but he's getting to things that he wants. He's getting so big I can't believe that he is 7 months old today. Time has just flew by! Gwenie is going to start dance class next Tuesday. She loves dancing around the house and singing so hopefully she likes the class. It's really kind of a private class because it's just her and the little girl I babysit, but I hope she has fun! Anyway...these are just a few recent pictures of the kiddos...
