Holidays 2010

Can't believe its New Year's Eve! So much time has gone by now. The girls will be 18 months on January 10! They are doing so great and growing so much! We have had a wonderful holiday season this year.

The girls went trick or treating for Halloween this year! They did just a few houses but they did great! Madi was a puppy dog, Sydney was a monkey and Caelyn was a lion. Too cute for words! Next year they will be in full swing Im sure and really get into it!


For Thanksgiving, we had Joe's parents, John and his kids and our older girls for dinner. Great times as usual! Grandma and Papa Holmes came for the weekend after Thanksgiving and we had a really great visit. The girls were in true form and were showing off all their latest talents. They are talking up a storm now, lots of words and make animal noises too. We got them to Gobble Gobble for Thanksgiving and started getting them to say Ho Ho Ho! By Christmas they were pros!

For Christmas we had Joe's family over for the annual Kris Kringle on Dec. 18th and had a fabulous time. The girls were very social of course and loved all the paper, lights and ornaments.

We celebrated Christmas with Aly, Hannah and Miranda on Christmas Eve and opened gifts with the babies. These little ones aren't so much babies anymore! They got baby dolls, barbies, a play grocery cart and food set, and a tent with a tunnel that they can crawl through and have a ton of fun! After all that, they loved the paper more than anything!

On Dec. 26th, we had a 50th Birthday party for Daddy (Joe) at the Fenton Hotel. We had about 45 family and friends attend and we all had a really great time celebrating this wonderful milestone for Joe. The girls were the life of the party and had a great time!

Below is a summary of how the girls are doing on their growth and development. This is for their 15 month check up. It will be really interesting to see how much they have grown when they go back in a few weeks for their 18 month.

Madison - height 33 inches, weight 24 lbs., 7 oz
Sydney - height 29 1/2 inches, weight 20 lbs..
Caelyn - height 31 1/2 inches, weight 21 lbs., 6 oz.
