Vacation fun and back to life

So, we left the Friday before Christmas to go to Gilbert and stayed till Jan. 9th! We stayed so long because Chad's brother James got married on the 7th. Christmas Eve we got together with the Kays. Everyone was there, except Kara and Chavis :( They were very much missed! We had a nice dinner and went to the firestations and caroled with our chimes. The kids got to get in the trucks and got coloring books and hats. I thought it was way cute, they had a pink hat for Emrie. She was scared of the trucks but it was still fun.

The boys sitting in the truck. Rhett, Graham and Elijah.

Christmas morning Oma and Opa came over before the kids got up and we did gifts.

Emrie had to get in her Christmas dress my mom made her as soon as she saw it in the morning. Molly is still a little loopy :D

I need to get a good pic of the girls together in their dresses, but I thought this picture turned out nice of Daddy with Molly Dolly.

We went to Grandma and Grandpa Andersen's after church and did Christmas with them. It was a lot of fun. Here's Emrie in one of her dress-ups. She is constantly in dresses, either church ones or fun ones, whatever she can get....either that or she's in her panties only.

Chad and I actually got to get out without the kids. We went with Chad's brother Dallen and wife Sarah to San Tan Flats. It was really fun. We had dinner, roasted smores and danced.

We got the campfire marshmellows! They are HUGE!

And of course I forgot my camera on the wedding day :( James and Jessica looked great! And the girls had little outfits and they looked so cute.

So back at home and normal life. Chad started school this week! Last semester of classes, then fall semester is hospital rotations!! Can't believe how fast it's gone.

We made this little "alligator" Emrie calls it yesterday and the girls love it. I had some socks I never wear, so I decided to make something out of them. I thought it turned out really cute! And it was free!!! :D

Molly now army crawls. She sits up and can push herself from laying down to sitting up position! Can't believe how big my girls are getting! And they both have HAIR now!!! :D

I know you want to kiss and nibble on these fabulous cheeks!! I do all the time :D She always flattens her lips and makes noises while her cheeks fluff out. I LOVE it!!!
