Merry Christmas!

Today is such a strange day. Christmas is over, yet all the decorations are still up, music is playing, and it still feels like Christmas. How wonderful would it be if everyday really felt like Christmas?

Thank you to all of the families for thoughtful gifts, great food, and amazing company! To all of our family who live far away...we miss you lots and can't wait to see you (hopefully) soon!

Here are some pictures from our holiday.

Sullivan kinda likin' his snazzy look.

All dressed up for church, Christmas Eve.

Checking things out on Christmas morning

And the stockings were hung by the chimney with care!

Family. What a great day!

This picture is really special because these stockings are the ones we used to tell my parents that they were going to have TWIN grandsons/daughters. This year they were filled with goodies.

Cam playing with a cool toy .

Sullivan...done for the night.

sneak peek...

I just have to. These turned out so cute I have to show a sneak peek of our Christmas pictures. (um...yeah, so about our Christmas cards. I am going to be sending mine out a tiny bit late this year. I think one could call them "fashionably late", or maybe just late. Either way, they will be more like "happy new year cards". Opps!)

So, thank you, Lauren, for taking these adorable pictures.

Serious Sullivan, looking quite dapper in his little hat (thank you, cousin Pierce, for letting us borrow that!)

My little Happy "Cam"-per (haha)

Dear Santa.

Dear Santa,

We are so excited to be able to meet you for the first time! We really don't need or want much this year. We are just so excited to have our Health, which we know was really a gift from God! But....maybe if your elves have a little extra time, you can bring us some extra diapers, wipes, and formula since mommy and daddy go through a lot of those!

P.S. Santa, did you know that we are now 7 months old? We are getting so big! We have tried some solids, like rice and barley, but to be honest we don't really like it. (yuck!). We roll over more and more each day and can hold our heads up for a very long time! We are still super sleepers....and now are big enough to sleep in our own cribs and not on an incline! Our favorite time of day is when daddy gets us out of bed in the morning and takes us down to mommy to snuggle!


Thank you for the candy cane...maybe next year!

Love,
Cam and Sullivan.

Friends.

Tonight I am just getting ready to call it a night and I just feel so thankful for good friends. I love friends that you can just chat to about anything and call at any hour of the night. I love the ones that send text messages that are just so funny....they make you cry when you read them (you know who you are!!!!).

Today I got to spend some time with some new friends...and so did Cam and Sullivan. Tonight I got to spend some time with more friends. It was energizing. Thank you, Chris, for watching the boys so that I could have some girlfriend time. Thank you boys for going to bed at....6:30 pm (yeah...I am a little nervous to see what time they wake up in the morning?!?).....and thank you to good friends!

The boys tired after a fun afternoon with their buddies!

Look at us! Whoever said preemies aren't strong? (Sullivan spotted the camera)
