Gearing Up for Christmas

The weeks leading up to Christmas Break seemed super-busy. We were still trying to figure out where things were, and get our house organized, plus trying to pack and think of everything we would need for our trip. Jeremy had a lot of tests, and was gone a lot. We had a whole lot of snow, and I worried way too much about our flight getting delayed or canceled. And the kids kept pretty busy. When I find them doing stuff like this, I can never decide whether to be upset, or just happy that they're "playing" together...
These are a few pictures of Jaina (when she finally figured out how to reach from the couch to the tree) that I love. Check out those cheeks!
And Reilly spent most of his time trying to trick (or beg) us into letting him watch movies, (there has been a lot of teething and maybe a virus or two around here the last few months, and I watched a few too many movies in the MIDDLE of the night, trying to get Reilly calm and happy enough to go back to bed...) and making us laugh with the silly things he says and the faces that go with them.
