Christmas

We had our usual Christmas Eve dinner at the BreMillers, which I look forward to every year. Donna makes delicious smoked salmon chowder, the big kids play/take care of/feed the little kids and there is always a little performance. I'm pretty sure Abby and Olivia are grateful the little girls have taken over that part of the evening. This year Adie, Eliza, Jessie and JoJo sang (with some help) The Little Drummer Boy. Bummed I didn't have my camera out that night. We then stay the night at Ryan's parents, the girls get some presents in the morning and we have a good breakfast together. After that we head to my parents for more food, toys, cousin time for the kids and lounge/relax and visiting time for the adults.

Ashlynn thinks it's fun to fall backwards, she hopes someone will catch her.

She's getting more steady every day. She's doing a lot more walking on her own, and when she falls she tries to get up but doesn't know how without pulling herself up on something. And, she crawled out of her crib the other day. I'm really glad I didn't see it because she has a scratch above her eye so she must have landed face first.
