January 5, 2014 Part Two

The trip back home was peaceful and uneventful.  We made it home on New Year's Day and had one last day together to relax and get settled before Daddy went back to work.  We're all still on vacation time.  It is hard to get the kids down to bed at night and Mommy and Daddy are struggling to get out of bed in the mornings, but we're sure we'll get back in the swing of things soon.




 Lily was growing tired of her long hair always getting tangled so she asked me to cut it.  We ended up taking off five inches.  She loves it.  Since I had the hair cutting stuff out I also clipped off Tommy's wispy baby hairs and trimmed Annie's bangs.  Aren't they all so cute? 


Another big hit from Christmas is the set of bath crayons from Grammy and Grampy.  We have lots of creative bathtime artwork every night now. It is also hard to get the girls to sleep at night because they love looking at the new glow in the dark stars on their ceiling.  The first night home we helped them stick all the stars up.  They giggled and talked in their beds for an hour and a half - finally quitting about 10 p.m.  And they have done that nearly every night this past week.


To help adjust back to normal life we did a family snuggle night.  We had popcorn and M&M's and watched Brave.


 On Saturday Lily, Annie, and their friend Hailey helped me take down our Christmas decorations.  It is sad to have the tree gone, but it feels good to have the house back to normal.


 Saturday night we got Tommy to eat something dry for the first time.  He spits out bread, crackers, cereal and cookies every time we try to offer them.  But on Saturday he had his first Nilla wafer and he devoured it!



I never got a picture of the kids in their Christmas church clothes.  Here they are this Sunday morning - it's not their Christmas clothes but they were so cute.  Lily was excited to wear her new outfit.  Tommy was obviously not excited to take this picture.  This Sunday, Lily moved into the CTR 5 class and Annie entered Primary as a Sunbeam.  They are going to have a great year in Primary.

Here's to 2014!
