Preston let Lindsey "play" with his Buzz and Jessie for a few minutes. Lindsey has been so slobbery and tries to fit her entire fists into her mouth. It's funny. She is a social baby and likes to smile at people. I need more pictures of her smiling. She has not been very good at night the last couple of weeks and has been waking up twice through the night. I was used to her only waking up once. I keep telling myself it's a growth spurt and she'll eventually sleep through the night soon. :) She's a lot of fun and Kate likes to be her mommy, which includes picking her up and dancing with her! yikes.
The kids playing. Of course, Preston is crying over something...and wouldn't smile.A tradition we started this year is we've been doing a 24 days of Christmas Advent Calendar with different activities to do each day. Jeni had a list of activities that she did with her kids last year so I got that list from her and tweeked it for our family. Last year, we did fun things, but with the kids getting older I thought it would be fun to have something for each day. We've decorated, read Christmas Stories, watched the First Presidency Message, made Christmas cookies, watched Frosty the Snowman, picked out Christmas candy, rode the Santa train and more to come. Kate has been so excited to see what we get to do each day (I have the activity written on a piece of paper rolled up and tied to an advent calendar of my Mom's). We did this growing up so it's a tradition I liked and wanted to do with my family.

and i love that countdown idea. it's so fun! i want to hear what all your activities are. i feel like such a bad mom to not have planned anything exciting and fun.
Wow, Lindsey looks so much like Preston!
What a great idea to do the countdown. My kids are really into the door-bell ditching with cookies they want to do it every night! Man, I am missing seeing you. You are always so positive and happy. Merry Christmas!!!
You're doing better with the countdown to Christmas than we are - we're already 4 days behind in our activities! Good job - busy mommy:) I want to pick Lindsey up and squeeze her.
What happened to the 12 day of Christmas? You know me... I have a hard time with Christmas Day!!! I can't wait to give them all big hugs and kisses! Get ready Preston! I want to see Kate's missing teeth and I hope Lindsey will give me some of those smiles. Just a few more days. I'm on count down....
Lindsey looks so big sitting there. They look so cute together. We were trying to an advent every day like that too, but I haven't been very good at staying on top of it. Sounds like you've been doing som fun things.
