Happy New Year!

Maren:
The new year is in full swing!  I started the year off with a few slumber parties over at Nonna and Nonnos house which gave my mommy and daddy the chance to have a long overdue date.  I love going to their house whenever I get a chance... my Nonna makes everything so special.  When I go, I love to get dressed up fancy... even if I am wearing my comfy clothes, I have to accessorize! 
This winter continues to bring us snow, we have even had a bunch at our house even though it melts pretty quickly.  But, snow means sledding!  We have had a couple of really great adventures with Jace and Bella and I have been so brave!  I am sledding all by myself and even going down face first on my belly!  Jace and I love to race one another in separate sleds and we like riding together sometimes.  Our first outing together everyone got to come along.  My daddy built us a huge fire to stay warm and our mommies brought chili, hot dogs, and hot cocoa.  The second outing was impromptu by our mommies... we were supposed to go to story time at the library but a fresh falling of snow made them change course.  Just us kiddos and mommies went the second time so we didn't have a fire, but we still had a lot of fun. 
We have been doing lots of fun things around here and my baby brother is changing before our very eyes.  His birthday is at the end of the month and I am getting really excited to help him celebrate.  I have been singing happy birthday to him already!  I am doing my very best to be a good teacher and to share but I am definitely finding it hard at times.  He crawls really fast and wants to play with everything that is in my hands!  He also doesn't understand me when I tell him I need personal space and that makes me a little angry.  But, overall, I love him to pieces!!










Maddox:
At the end of the month I will be 1 year old!  I am growing so fast and learning new things every day... some things my mommy isn't too thrilled about!  I have mastered the art of pulling myself up and standing... I am definitely close to walking any day now.  The toilet is a perfect height for me to pull myself up and I have figured out how to lift the lid.  When I do, I can reach down and splash in the water!!! Its so much fun!  But mommy gets really grumpy when I do and my sissy tries to drag me away.
Another thing I have learned to do is get in and out of the tub all by myself.  I just love the water and tubby time is one of my favorite parts of the day!  When I get in (or try) I hike my little chubby leg up over the edge and try to climb in.  Thankfully mommy is there to help because I can't quite get my leg over by myself.  Now, getting out is a totally different story.  Because my mommy is sitting on the floor right outside of the tub I just stand up and throw myself over the edge like a little seal.  I land right in her lap all dripping wet!  She and sissy think I am pretty funny when I do this and we all giggle like crazy!
