Addison

Addison has started standing up on her own. Yesterday she took a few steps. The look on her face is priceless. She will stand up quite a bit. Most if the time she sits back down. However, yesterday she decided to take a couple steps! I couldn't believe it.

Poor Gabriela. The babies love pulling her hair! Xander  thinks it is the funniest thing ever when she screams!

Gabriela

Gabriela got upset with me because I wouldn't let her eat any snacks before dinner. She made everyone a hat except me!

Gabriela

Gabriela is playing basketball and I am the coach! I told her to get dressed for practice. I was thinking basketball shorts and t-shirt. She wanted hot pink leggings and lipstick to match! 

Traditions

Christmas Eve night I always give Gabriela a pair of pajamas. This year I found a giant onsie! She was so excited to wear them. We decorated cookies, fed the reindeers, read the Christmas story, and watched a movie.

I loved watching her help the babies with their new toys Christmas Day. They get so excited when she interacts with them. 

Christmas

Christmas morning Gabriela got a surprise visit from Santa! She was so excited. He even brought her a gift. It was a good thing he came to the house because we did not make it to the mall for Santa pictures this year. We had so much fun with all of our Christmas get togethers. The cousins had a blast playing together. Jude is the ring leader, and they love when he is in town.

Addison is saying "Mama!" It's so sweet. She has the biggest smile on her face and looks so proud of herself. Xander is saying "Dadada." They both are pulling up and waking along the couch. Today Xander stood up for two seconds by himself! Addison sleeps from 8-7:30. Xander still wakes up. The few times he has slept all night Gabriela wakes up!! We miss Nichy so much and can't wait to be reunited.
