Hello from cold snowy Iowa...we are in fact still alive. Sorry for the unplanned blogging absence, but I do have a great excuse...a 5year old, two 14 month olds and tax season(my husband owns a business(craziness). I did try to post these pics last week but blogger was be difficult. Taking the duos pics is a work out...I hope you enjoy the ones I did get. <br />

I have enjoyed the tree in the nursery this year (don't know if the twins really do), it is on top of their armoire ...safe from little hands. I decorated it with several baby's first Christmas ornaments and the ornaments I got them this year. The little hat on the top was given to one of them in the nicu on the day they were born, it has matching booties. The photo frames say "Baby's First Christmas" and hold the first photo's taken of them.

Need any wrapping done...these Elves are always eager to help. They like unrolling ribbon and tearing tissue paper best. And the big sister Elf likes to use lots and lots of tape. :)<br />

Here is quick peek at the kiddo's in their Christmas finery. We will not be home next Sunday and so I dressed them in their coordinating outfits. Gotta love the pic of Blake with drool on his chin. :)<br />

Saturday we visited the University of Iowa Hospital (where the twins were born and stayed in NICU). At the twins birthday party we had recently we asked the guest to not bring a gift, instead bring a new children's book to be donated to the hospital library. During our stay we visited the library and Piper was given a book and also picked one to take for the twins. We were so grateful for all the wonderful care we received during our stay we decided to start a new tradition and do something for the hospital/NICU every Christmas.<br />

We also bought gift cards from the hospital coffee shop(kinda of like Starbucks) and gave them to the head nurse in the NICU, to give them out as she sees need. We received some on Christmas day from some family who had been there before also, it was a special gift. We hope to teach our children about giving to others and not just about receiving. <br />

It began snowing this evening before we went to our church Christmas dinner and Uncle Tom cleared a path for me to get to the car. How sweet :) <br />
The picture does not do this scene justice...snow, Christmas lights, tree in the window and a flag. It was beautiful. <br />

Here is our Christmas tree this year...kinda small. We decided to go with a table top tree for sanity sake this year and I am so glad we did. I am not usually the type to "baby proof" (put away breakable items), we usually just teach our children not to touch. But since we have two littles it makes it very hard to keep up with both of them and I can not always see them if I am in the kitchen or other parts of the house, a table top tree made perfect sense. We still get to enjoy the tree but with less stress on Mommy and Daddy.
