Stockings were Hung, Christmas Carols were Sang

Christmas Break Recap



-Hunter had his first school Christmas Program! He did an awesome job up on stage and the show was great! A big thanks to the family that came out to watch him perform :)









-The girls hit their six month milestones and are now sleeping in their cribs and eating solid foods! They have also become quite a bit more vocal! Avery is babbling "dada" and Elleigh is babbling "mama."












Elle has a hard time staying awake after a full belly :)












-I am happy to announce that I survived finals week despite everyone in the house getting sick, several studying set backs and the Hub's impromptu surgical procedure. Four finals, four days and four A's. #BOOM ...... but how could I not succeed check out my dedicated study partner!













-We obviously had a few extra stockings to hang our Mantle this year <3 

















-Hunter spent a great deal of time scoping out his present stash while enduring the Christmas day count down.















-The kids got (even more) spoiled. The girls had a great time watching their brother open his gifts (and theirs). 




























-I very much enjoyed my few weeks home hanging with the kiddos! There was a lot of cooking, crafting, and cuddling. There are now a few new recipes in my cookbook :)



Riding the train at the mall together >>














Never a dull moment with these two! All smiles even after getting four shots each at their 6 month check up >>
















Snuggling with my sick munchkins who weren't feeling well >>












Puppy Chow Cookies!!! Yes, they were Ah-mazing! >>


















Before/After of my Christmas "K" decor >>






-Josh and I discovered the girls' are jumper fanatics.....and not picky where they sleep ;)













-Elleigh got her first TWO teeth! Avery is still working on hers.




(Right after her very first one popped through) >>












I kept my word and spent as much time as I could giving the kids as much of my undivided attention as possible. It is really hard to do this during the semester with one or two big exams a week and a crazy clinical schedule. I also tried to make either a new dinner or "family favorite" each night of the week, since Josh does the majority of the cooking during the school semester when I am hid away in basement studying.
