Thank heaven for little girls!!

Christmas Day

We had a great Christmas. Girls slept in until 7 am and Nana and Papa came to watch them open gifts. We have done this for 2 years in a row. We have enjoyed having them be a part of our Christmas morning. When Eila opened her new blanket she was SO EXCITED. She cuddled right up. It was nice to have Hannu with us also because we don't get to see him much.

Santa came for Christmas Eve!

This was so fun! Santa walked all the way from the North Pole to visit us. Eila happened to be sitting in the window when he walked up... She said and I quote: "Santa's walking down the sidewalk... Santa's coming up our driveway.... HEY SANTA'S COMING TO OUR HOUSE!!" It was very fun. She really enjoyed it. Liana not so much but she did watch.

Visiting Joulupukki

Of course Liana hated sitting on Santa's lap but Eila was starstruck. She was so excited to tell what she wanted. Eila had forgot to mention she wanted a new blanket because we had lost her original so since the line was so long to go back around we just decided to have her whisper it to him across the mall and he would hear it... Worked well :)

Craft day!

I saw these very inexpensive wooden toys that I thought the girls would love. They both picked out thier own. Liana picked a train and Eila picked a boat. It was a lot of fun to see them so happy.

I know, I know.... Halloween is over

I just wanted to show you how cute our girls were!! Liana was a unicorn and Eila was a horse.

It will grow back..... I hope!

In October of last year we took the girls to get a shorter haircut because it was just becoming to much to deal with the screaming and crying over tangles. We took off at least 6 inches on Eila and 3 on Liana. It was a lot of hair and I was sad!!! It has been 4 months and I am not seeing to much regrowth yet but I hope for the future :)

Witchapalooza!!!

We took the girls to witchapalooza at Gardner Village after we went to the doctor and it was so fun. The little stores there are filled with cute baby items. We started looking at girly stuff and found a pink and brown peanut shell harness that would be great for shopping and walking. I will be getting that soon!!

OH BABY... Girl!

So my Mom came with us to the ultrasound and also to my doctor's appointment. It was a fun day. We got a DVD made of the baby and she is so cute already. Looks a lot like Eila and Antti. Here are some pictures of our day:

The first snow!

We are fortunate to live in a city where it snows more than in the valley. We got our first snow storm on October 11th. We immediately sent the kids out to play and they loved it! Liana tried to eat as much as she could before it was gone...
