Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Our Christmas was extremely busy this year. It seems like we bounced from house to house and got very little sleep! Here's the list of our journey this year

*Christmas at our house with the kids on Christmas Eve.

*Christmas Eve at Grandma and Grandpa Kirmse's

*Spent Christmas Eve night at Great Grandma and Grandpa Estes house in Topeka because the weather was so bad!

*Christmas morning with the Estes Family

*Christmas night with the Freed family

*Saturday, December 26th traveled to Marion, Indiana to see my Sister's family

* Sunday, stayed in Marion for the day and met up with my friends Tammy and Heather

*Monday morning, woke up and traveled 3 1/2 hours to Alma, Michigan to see my extended family

*Monday evening, traveled back to Marion

*Tuesday, stayed all day in Marion with Nicole's family and had a great, relaxing time!

*Wednesday, traveled back to Kansas! (two kids and we only made one stop for gas and food!)

We put over 2000 miles on our Camry!

Here are some pictures....in no particular order!

This holiday season is proving to be a very busy one for us. We are officially done Christmas shopping now! Jeremiah and I are gearing up for our trip to Florida without the girls! Grandma Estes will be watching the girls while we're away. We will be celebrating 5 years of marriage! I'm so looking forward to this trip. We haven't been away from the girls for more than one night in the past 2 1/2 years...we deserve this!

Amaya is continuing to go potty (although today was not a good day for her). She is growing up way too fast. Amaya is very independent, She can turn on lights, open doors, and has been getting into the fridge lately.

Selah is such a sweetie. She is still very content and smiles constantly. A couple of weeks ago she climbed all of our stairs! She keeps me on my toes:). It amazes me how fast she's growing.

Jeremiah's work has a Christmas party for the kids each year. This year it was at Zonkers, an indoor arcade and kiddie amusement park. The girls had a blast playing games and riding rides. Here are some pics from the party.

Ahh, the joys of sisterhood:)

From scooting to crawling to potty training...

We've been really busy around here lately! The girl are growing up right before our eyes. Selah just started crawling and Amaya has been potty training. Amaya is doing great on the potty lately. Apparently all we had to do is buy her Tinkerbell panties and a princess potty chair cover (Disney has seriously taken over this household). Amaya loves going potty now and has only had a few accidents this week. We're so proud of her!

After watching Toy Story she now wants to be a cowgirl!

Crawling at almost 7 months

Daddy has the magic touch

Selah scoots and the many feelings of Amaya

Found these pictures of Amaya and Selah in the same outfit and basically the same pose! The only difference is their age.

Amaya 9 months

Selah 6 1/2 months Amaya has been having a lot of feelings lately. Today I asked her to look...

HAPPY

SAD

and MAD (she's really good at making this face:))

Here's Selah scooting!

Selah is six months old!

Just some new pics of the girls...

Selah lights up when she sees Bo!

My little piggy holding a piggy:)

Amaya told me that this was her "tinkerbell" smile!

I just got back from taking Selah to her six month check up. I can't believe she's already half a year old!

Amaya at six months:

14 pounds 9 1/2 ounces: 25 %

26 Inches: 50%

Amaya was my petite little baby!

Selah at Six Months

16 pounds 12 1/2 ounces: 70%

27 3/4 inches : 97 %

Selah is a lot taller and heavier than Amaya was ! She is growing out of clothes quickly. I am looking forward to the rest of the Selah's first year. She changes more and more each day.

First Piggy tails!

what we've been up to

Amaya enjoyed a night out a Chuckee Cheese with us and Aunt Melissa.

Selah was horrified when she saw Chuckee up close!

Our baby girl is now sitting up...

And eating solids!

Amaya really loves her baby sister

This is what happens when you give a 2 year old markers and walk away

Selah is the happiest baby!
