chillin' @ home

this month has been filled with LOTS of family time {ONE of my favorite things} it's fun to see ellington and beckett interact and play with one another now. she is all about helping him and likes to "teach" him how to talk. no clear words yet, but she's persistent!
we've had a few christmas parties with friends, our small group from church, and a few kids' christmas parties {posts to come}but other than that it's been pretty quiet. so we've just enjoyed the extra time that we're all at home before we hit the road for the holidays.

family movie night - frosty the snowman
movie snacks - goldfish

{not the most flatter picture, but she got her self dressed for bed and added the headband so she could be the pirate princess....gotta love it}
movie snack - ice cream w. m&ms
learned our lesson quick with ice cream before bed...took a while to go to sleep and a tummy ache
nightly bath time - these 2 LOVE the water

beckett loves to stand in the bathtub, trying to break that habit and elle likes to float. this summer is going to be lots of fun at the pool and beach. water babes for sure!

the first snow is the BEST!
tackle LOVES the snow & LOVES the kids playing outside
taking it all in...not sure what to think of it. he did fall a few times {face plants} but took it in stride, got back up {with a little crying & brushing off} and tried it again.

sledding!
"mommy, i can do it"
"he's a little heavy...but, but, but i got it..."
"ok, mommy you can pull him"
"i'll just pull my baby"
she asked me to get her baby doll so she wouldn't be outside alone after i took beckett inside to warm up before nap. she sang to her and then pulled her around in the sled and even pushed her in the swing.
just a little snippet of what we've been up to.
