The night before Christmas

The night before Christmas...
We opened up presents with our cousins...
I got to play 'Santa' and really liked that! Maddy liked to eat all of the wrapping and tags!

Our stockings are hung and food out for the reindeer!

Maddy and I are in matching PJ's! Thanks Barchleigh!

We read "The Night Before Christmas" and then were off to bed!

Happy Christmas Eve everyone!

Maddy is 7 Months Old!

Given that Maddy is 7 months on Christmas eve we thought we would take her monthly picture in the living room next to the tree!

This one is a particularly 'nice' shot of the swollen eye... poor Maddy!

December 23

A busy day indeed.
Building a fort...
Shopping downtown...
A visit to the doctor for Maddy's pink eye
Playing in the crib with my sister... taking apart her toys to see how they work...
All of this excitement is exhausting!
Both kids asleep by 9 p.m. - not bad on the eve prior to Christmas Eve!

Keeping Busy

The count down is on big time at the Milroy house and we are trying to think of ways to keep busy. On Sunday Mom invited Ben over and we decorated gingerbread houses.

Monday Mom and I went for our first ski of the year. It was awesome (we didn't get any pictures though!). There is so much snow up north we felt like we were in the North Pole!

Today is a PJ day at home. I introduced Maddy to Dora this morning.

Still in PJ's this afternoon... I've created a house and loaded MAC up for the holiday. I told Mom that MAC is spoiled because he has so much stuff.

Tomorrow is our annual downtown shopping day for yummy treats from Summerhill market! Mom has some more baking planned for us as well.

Jumping for Joy

Yippeee it's Christmas Time!

Sweet Maddy

Mom has been bad at getting pictures of Maddy lately with all of Dustind's Christmas activites.

Today we had some play time after nap with our blocks.

Maddy weighed in at 16.5 lbs the other day! Based on the pictures below most of this appears to be concentrated in her cheeks- don't you just want to kiss them! Way to go Maddy!!
