Jensen Christmas Party!

Every year Melanie has us down to Jensen for a family Christmas party! We always have a blast! It is so much fun to be able to see everyone and for all of the kids to get together and play! It is really cool because Melanie lives in our great grandmas house-she added on to it and totally re-did it! It is such a beautiful home. When we all get together I know Mimi is looking down on us and just smiling! And it makes it even better that we can all be in her house where we can feel her spirit! We all miss her so much, she was such an amazing woman and such a great part of our lives! I know that she loves seeing all of her kids, grandkids, great-grandkids, and great great-grandkids all together having such a great time!

Ginger Bread Houses

Every year we all get togethter at my mom's house and decorate gingerbread houses! We have a lot of fun and make a huge mess! After we are all done we line all the houses up and make fun of everyones-mine looks the same every year-everything has to be even on both sides and very simple! I hate it I really tried this year to be more creative and messy but I just ended up re-doing it! Oh well maybe I will be more adventerous next year!

Evan's First Hair Cut!

Evan needed a haircut so bad! His little mowhawk was so long it was starting to curl over-It looked like a giant brown wave. So Brooklyn got us in. He was funny he wore a little monster cape and she let him play with her clips. He stuck the clips right in his mouth and then pulled a nasty face-I think they tasted like hairspray. It only took a few minutes and now we can keep the mowhawk. Thanks Brooke for getting us in on such short notice!

Decorating for Christmas!

What is all this-it's so bright!

They loved the Christmas balls but they couldn't

hold on to them!

Well I tried to decorate for Christmas the day after Thanksgiving but it ended up taking me the next couple days! I had a couple interruptions they were named Evan and Ellie. Jimmy went bird hunting so I tried to do it myself. The house was a disaster and I was trying to get us in the Christmas Spirit by listening to Christmas music and making the twins watch The Grinch and Rudolph. I'm sure they totally knew what was going on! So it was pretty much a circus town at the Lewis house! Jimmy and I are so excited for Christmas this year since we finally have kids. Kids are totally what make Christmas fun! One morning when I was finishing up decorating we blasted Christmas Music and sang to the babies than we took them and danced around the house! If anyone would have been watching they would have thought we were crazy! I know Evan and Ellie definately thought we were. I am so excited for Christmas this year- I am going to try and do something Christmasy everyday! I want to make a effort to remember every moment because I know how fast it goes by and then the twins will be having to share us with their inlaws-it makes me sick how fast it goes by! So I think we all need to enjoy every moment and not take it for granted! Happy Holidays!

Thanksgiving

First taste of Banana Cream Pie


I'm stuffed!


Ellie loved the pie!

Ellie playing with Grandpa Mike-I think both the grandpas

have a case on her!

Mom your hilarious!

Well this Thanksgiving was another great one-awesome food and great company! We didn't get a lot of pictures of Evan and Ellie because they weren't in a very good mood. I think that they have been a little over stimulated lately-too many late night rock concerts at Grandma Joy and Grandpa John's house! Lately we have been sooooo into Rock Band we have a awesome line up with Jimmy as our lead singer (imagine that!) we have so much fun but it is so addicting and we make the babies listen and think that they have had it with us! They are probably thinking "okay mom and dad you aren't rock stars so get over it-were ready for bed!" This year was a lot of fun and I have to say that the #1 thing that I am grateful for is my beautiful family! Having a little family definatley makes the holidays even more fun!

Little Sleepy Bug!

Ellie is such a crazy sleeper! She cracks us up. Every time I go in to check on her she is in a different position-most the time she is on her belly with her little bum straight up in the air. It's a good thing the swing has buckles or she would be all over the place.

Just Playing!

This Sunday was such a lazy day! It was nice to not have to do anything-the babies just played and Evan woke up before Ellie from their nap so Evan and I shared a sucker-It was his first sucker and he loved it! After we were done he gave me tons of open mouthed sticky kisses! It was such a great moment one that I definately want to remember! The only thing that would have made it better would be if Ellie had been awake to get in on some of the fun! I love these little stinkers so much! I just look at them in amazement everyday!

Family Pictures

We had our family pictures taken last week. I am so excited that we can finally have family pictures-we have waited for this moment for a long time. Tiffany took these pictures she did such an amazing job. They turned out exactly like I wanted them to. I had a hard time deciding which ones to post they all turned out so good! Thanks Tiff I love you!

Halloween

For Halloween Evan was a skunk and Ellie was a flower. The costumes were so dang cute. They only lasted in them for about 30 minutes tops. Evan's was so hot his little head was just sweating. After we took them around and showed them off we went to Stacy and Karen's house to celebrate Kris and Lisa getting married. We had a really good time. We always have fun when you get all of us together-It is always crazy but we always have fun!
