What We've Been Up To

This month has been so busy! Here are a few pictures of what we've been up to lately...

Meeting new friends! Our good friends welcomed baby Luke into the world in November and we headed to Athens to meet him a few weeks later. As you can see, Shelby is very impressed with his willingness to play with her.

Getting into the Christmas spirit! Shelby loves the tree and all of the sparkly bows and gifts underneath. The temptation to chomp on bows has almost inspired her to crawl, but not quite. She's very close though.

Preschool Christmas program! Babies + singing = mass chaos! The program was adorable! Toddlers attempting to sing, do basic hand choreography and play simple instruments is just about the cutest thing ever. And don't even get me started on the Nativity reenactment. Pure cuteness.

Riding the Pink Pig at Macy's! We took Shelby to this Atlanta tradition last weekend and I think she was sort of confused, and so was I. Fortunately, the modern Pink Pig is just a train ride. We read that the original Pink Pig was a miniature suspended monorail ride that went above the old downtown Rich's toy department and was later moved to the roof top of the building. They had the old Pink Pig on display and it was a rather terrifying looking amusement park car with metal cage bars on the windows! Fortunately the modern Pink Pig looked a little safer.

Meeting even more new friends! Some old high school friends stayed with us for a few days and Shelby had a wonderful time playing with her new friend Sasha. The babies did all sorts of cute things together and it was fun to let them hang out, as much as babies can hang out. They sort of just sat on a blanket together and stared at each other. Even though Shelby is three months other than Sasha, they weighed about the same, although Shelby was longer. Don't they look cute in their festive pajamas?

Merry Christmas!
