Sweet Ones 12.18.14

Love these two!


I can see Quent in Joshua's expression.

9 Months 12.18.14

Jeralyn and Joshua at 9 months:



Gingerbread House 12.14.14

The day before we baked the gingerbread house pieces.  Quent had measured and cut all of the pieces out of the rolled dough.  It was quite a project!  

Quent helping with putting the roof on.

Jeralyn unwrapping peppermints.

Let the decorating begin.

Joshua was watching the decorating action from his high chair.


She's probably singing here.



More Gingerbread 12.13.14

It was time to make some more gingerbread cookies for our gingerbread house (next set of pictures).  See the Cinderella dress?  She wears it all.the.time.  Seriously.  All.the.time.  It was a hand-me-down from a friend and she loves it!


Bath Time 12.9.14

They are so cute!  Except it's not so cute when Jeralyn is afraid her toys will get sucked down the drain.  She's better about it now though (whew!).



Little Baker 12.3.14

I cannot remember what we were making, but I do know it involved evaporated milk.  She loves helping me cook/bake.


Grilled Cheese 12.1.14

It was time to move Joshua onto more "real" table food (no more purees).  He really likes grilled cheese sandwiches that I cut into strips for him.  He took longer than Jeralyn did with liking table food, but he's pretty much there now (January 2015).


Painting Ornaments 12.1.14

For school this day, Jeralyn painted some ornaments for the tree.  She enjoys all sorts of crafts, so this was really fun for her.

Lights! 11.30.14

We brought the tree home, let it "drip dry" and then began to decorate the tree.  And of course we had to do our traditional Christmas lights photo with Jeralyn...and now Joshua.

But first Jeralyn had to try on her stocking.  Silly girl!



Josh thought the lights were really cool!  When he has something he really likes, he grunts and gives us this look like, "Isn't this cool?  Do you see what I have?  I am having fun!"





Tree Hunting 11.30.14

We had our first snow and that morning we went to find our Christmas tree.  It was perfect!  We had to walk around a bit more than we've had in the past to find a tree.  It was so beautiful in the snow.

Happy girl!


Held hands with my sweet girl and we walked along looking for our tree.

Sliding down a little slope.

Here we are posing with the already-cut tree.  Do you see Josh peeking over the backpack?

I don't remember what was funny...maybe Quent was doing funny things to get us to smile.

She enjoyed eating some snow.  I think she was showing Quent all of the snow stuck to her gloves.

Sweet boy!  He napped for a little bit while riding in the carrier.

Polly Pockets 11.29.14

I think I can safely say that right now one of Jeralyn's favorite toys to play with is Polly Pocket.  She likes to dress up her dolls and line them up.  There's some Frozen Barbie dolls in the mix here as well, and Shelly.


Hair Stylin' 11.28.14

I told Jeralyn she could do my hair.  She was pretty excited and then put lots and lots of barrettes in my hair.  So fun!
