Christmas and More

We had a busy month of celebrating four Christmases, Josh's birthday, my birthday, and New Year's. She even had a special play date with her cousin, Juliana. Molly was a little under the weather over break but you wouldn't have guessed it. She was happy as could be and enjoyed being passed around by all the relatives. We had our Lena friends and Ali and Michael over with all the kiddos on New Year's. The kids rang in the New Year at 7 and then the moms battled to get them to fall asleep from 8 to 10. Eventually the whole gang fell asleep, but Molly woke up ten minutes before the New Year. I think she just didn't want to miss the celebration.  Quinn was so excited to have a sleepover again with her friends. It was nice to have a full week after the holidays to just lay around and play with the girls. We don't get to do that as often as we would like. 

Our camera was not cooperating over the holidays so these were the best we could get:
