Christmas Program

Maddie had her Christmas program at church this past Sunday and the kids did great. Before church, I took a picture of the girls all dressed up! The bigger Mia gets, the more and more she reminds me of Madelyn as a baby. These two little girls are so precious and have brought us more joy then we could have ever imagined!
The kids sang "Away In A Manger" and "Happy Birthday" to baby Jesus! They were so sweet and so much fun to watch! I love that Maddie has a great group of kids that are her friends and that she loves her Sunday school and Children's church class!

The stars in the sky look down where He lay....
After church we took Maddie down to Minneapolis so she could go to Disney on Ice with Matt and Michelle. She loved the show and Bob and I enjoyed a nice dinner and a little shopping. It was a quick trip, but glad that Maddie could spend time with her aunt and uncle.
Tonight Maddie was so sweet! I have somehow hurt my back and she wanted me to snuggle her after I tucked her in bed. I laid next to her and told her my back was sore and she needed to pray for me. Without hesitation her prayer went something like this...
Dear Jesus,
I pray for my Mom and that her back will be better. Give her a good rest tonight and be with my baby sister too! (She also said something about being blessed but I can't remember how she used it?) I just smiled as I listen to her prayer and I'm proud to have such a caring little girl!

Amelia is 4 months old!

My big girl trying cereal for the first time!
Yum!!

Mia tried cereal for the first time and she really wasn't sure what to do. More came out of her mouth then in, but it was a good try. She seems to be hungry all of the time so we thought cereal would help her sleep better at night. We still have a lot of learning to do and it's fun to see her go through different stages.


Amelia had her 4 month check up this week and she is doing great! She weighed in at 17 lbs. and 4 oz. and 25" long! Wow, what a big girl! She is such a fun baby to have around. Whenever she sees us, a huge smile come across her face! Even if she is fussing in the middle of the night, she will stop and smile as soon as we come into her room! It has been so much fun having a baby in the house again and I thank God for the beautiful girls he has blessed us with!
