Naples Pier

We took a trip to Naples Pier on the day after Christmas....we saw a dolphin off in the distance and a lot of Pelicans.

Tangerines

Alex liked inspecting the tangerine tree in Grammie's front yard.

B-Bows

Alex and Aubrey liked to see Grammie dressed up as B-Bows the clown.

(Grammie was dressed up for a Christmas program the clown group was in.)

The cute Adidas outfits came from Aunt Andrea. Alex and Aubrey were excited to wear shorts and I was excited not to bundle them up in jackets and blankets. We can't wait for summer.

Swimming on Christmas

We went down and visited Grammie over Christmas. Alex and Aubrey loved swimming in the pool. It was like a large bathtub.

Celebrating Christmas....a little early

Alex wanted his picture taken in front of the tree

Their gifts from Santa

Weekend Update

Just a quick update on the weekend....

On Saturday, Dec20th, Dave and I celebrate the 1 year anniversary of knowing that we were having twins. Wow, I can remember that day in the ultrasound room so vividly.

On Sunday, we all celebrated Christmas a little early. We had a wonderful time opening presents. Alex and Aubrey really liked the paper and the boxes much more than the gifts themselves. I hope to post the pictures soon.

Just playing around again

Soccer?

Watch out Calder, Aubrey can't wait to join you in soccer.

(The video isn't the clearest, but it shows Aubrey kicking the ball all by herself. Her Dad wasn't helping her at all....honestly)
