Quick Update

Allison, now one, is so busy running around the house. She entertains us all by playing with her tongue, learning to click her tongue, and puckering her lips. She is such a tease; Allie will walk in the room arms wide open to be picked up. Just as she gets within arms reach, she'll grin and divert course. Allie's starting to give up the bottle; the pacifer though is still her very good friend.

Makayla turned four today. She got to take cookies for preschool (gluten free for her and regular for everyone else). They sang to her, and her teachers even gave her a present to take home (a new book). The rest of the day has been filled with phone calls from family. We took her out to a new Mexican restaurant that does sombraro's for birthdays...unfortunately there were hardly any workers and they didn't even sing. It's okay, we came home and had ice cream sundaes and more cookies. She did really good at her dance recital last week. It was cute to see her wave from the stage. We had a little mishap with the video camera, but we still have some of it on video.

Nate and I are having fun chasing the girls. We've been trying hard to fit in as much family times as we can. We've been taking advantage of Nate's bad teeth...every time he has to go to the dentist, he gets a half a day off. Who ever thought there'd be something good about cavities. We are so excited for Christmas. Last year we kind of missed out on all the excitment of the season. This year we've been really enjoying the Christmas season. We hope everyone is making the most of this special time of year. We're looking forward to seeing you in less than a week.

Merry Christmas!
