Some firsts before Christmas

Yeah, I still have posts to catch up on from the end of last year. There was a lot going on, so lots of pictures to share.

A couple of fun firsts for us in December were meeting little Madeleine and giving Charlotte her first hair cut!

Yes, I like long hair on girls. But, when it's covered in drool and boogers (sorry for the visual) all the time, it's due for a trim. I just cut her bangs. It was quite difficult. Gary had to hold her head and I cut. I did it as fast as I could, safely. Was worried it wouldn't work out very well, but it seems to look ok

Before

After

Jen, Michael and Maddie came to Canada (from Scotland) for Christmas! They stopped by on the day that they got in, to borrow some baby gear. Made more sense to borrow it from us than to cart it overseas! So, we got to meet little Maddie. Well, the kids and I did, anyways. It was a quick visit, but they returned Tuesday (I think) to visit longer. Just Charlotte and I were home to see them, but it was fun seeing the girls together. Maddie was super adorable - see her big blue eyes! She was able to try out Charlotte's Jumperoo thingy for the first time. She seemed to enjoy it quite a bit. I think she spent almost 45 min in it! We're hoping to see them again this month, so there will likely be more pictures later!
