Crawling!

Pearce started crawling at 8.5 months, while we were at Nana and Popi's house for Christmas. He loves to move and get into trouble. Pearce mostly loves to crawl to something so he can stand up and try climbing. Grandma Moss says that Pearce acts just like Scott did when he was a baby. He would crawl to something and try to climb up, or start pulling things off shelves. Pearce knows he is being mischievous, and smiles and tries to be fast about whatever he is doing. Makes me laugh.

Christmas Celebrations

This year we traveled up to Washington to spend Christmas with the Folk family. We got to fly! Yay! There was a big Christmas Eve party where we played a lot of fun games and ate great food. The girls got wrapped up in toilet paper to see who could become the best snowman. We also played chimes (tradition). On Christmas morning we opened presents with Nana, Poppi, Kayla, Mitch, Jackson and Grandma GG. We were definitely spoiled (by Santa and family). This year, our family got a trip to Walt Disney World (in April). We are excited. It was a fun holiday.

Christmas with the Moss'

This year we traveled up to Washington to spend Christmas with the Folks, so we celebrated Christmas a little early with the Moss'. We got together, had a big lunch and opened presents. Everyone got some fun things and Pearce liked ripping the wrapping off presents.

Christmas decorations

We love decorating for Christmas. Just for memories sake, here are two pictures of our Somersby home at Christmastime.

Elf on the Shelf

Our Elf (Sparkles) came back to visit us this year. She did some funny things, like made mini candy canes, made a snowman from toilet paper, ate candy and syrup, and hid a lot of different places. The girls would wake up each morning excited to look for Sparkles.

Santa

I love this picture taken of the kids and Santa!

Gingerbread Houses

One night Sparkles, our elf, left us some gingerbread houses to decorate. We invited Christine, Michael and Grandpa Moss to come over and decorate the gingerbread houses with us. It was fun decorating and spending time with family. Sarah and Olivia worked on one, and Scott and Adelyn worked together. The girls were proud of their masterpieces.
