A local photographer asked for a volunteer so that she could shoot a mentor session after it snowed in January -- I have always wanted a session with Emilie so I quickly volunteered Ellie and had to share the images from the session. I can't believe we are 3 months from her turning a whole hand!

Peppa Pig Live!
Unless you live under a rock, if you know our children, you know they are tee totally obsessed with Peppa. When they announced she was coming for a live performance we knew we had to get tickets. Originally, Josh and I were going to take Ellie but due to Josh's surgery I decided to take Thomas in his place. I had low expectations of how long he would last but T did awesome and loved his first show!

January
January seems to always be the longest month but this year it flew by. I love once the holidays are over we have a lull of little to no plans before our schedule seems to blow up in the spring.
We visit our local toy story, Hollipops frequently and Thomas always finds this tractor to play with.
We had a particularly wonderful warm couple of weeks after Christmas and Ellie enjoyed wearing her corduroy shorts and clogs that make her feel like a big girl!
Thomas insists on lovie being wrapped around his neck if he's not able to hold it -- so this is usually its position when he's eating or in the car seat. How did we manage two totally love addicted children?
Ellie hates knee socks. She rarely fights me on her attire (thank goodness) but knee socks and capes are her least favorite things to wear. Luckily I won that battle this particular morning before church. She had to pose with Kit.
Another big girl outfit!
sweet matching babies -- my days are limited but i love matching them so!
Ellie much prefers matching Kit!
Haircut day for Thomas!
We bribe with lots of pops for pictures.
Ellie lasted about 45 minutes playing in the snow. She loved sledding with daddy.
Jason's Deli is a favorite after church for the ice cream!

Christmas Morning!
This was my favorite Christmas morning so far! Ellie was REALLY into it (finally) and Thomas was mesmerized.

Ellie's requests for an Elsa umbrella, a princess watch and the Peppa camper van. Santa came through and added in a couple extra surprises.
I wasn't sure if she was ready for a real American Girl quite yet -- she is still pretty obsessed with bitty -- but she has loved playing with Kit and she gets an outfit change just about daily.
Santa found this umbrella in Disney World and somehow snuck it back without Ellie girl noticing. It's a hand painted umbrella with tons of glitter but the sweetest princess umbrella I've ever seen!
Thomas got his train table, some trains, lots of books, some Peppa pigs, Hunter rain boots and his own set of crayons and paper. All his favorite things in the world.
It was a very peppa Christmas. Thomas is probably more obsessed than Ellie is. We now own every piece of transportation that Peppa has ever ridden on, Peppa's house and more of Peppa's friends than we can count!

What a precious Christmas it was!
