...we celebrated Christmas with all of our families and had the best year yet.

...the girls had so much fun playing with all of their Christmas gifts. They're such little princesses. They did Barbie's hair, painted her nails, and played with their new princess castle and horse stable from Grandma Espejo.


(Thanks, Uncle Zac, Stef, and Presley!)




...we went Christmas light seeing one more time before the season ended. I already can't wait to put our lights up next year. There is just so much excitement when you come home at night to your house (and entire street) all decorated with bright lights.








(Daddy's favorite...the Ninja Turtles)

...the girls hung out by the standing heater after bath time.



...we celebrated Kasie's birthday with a mini-party at our house on Friday instead of our usual Friday night dinner. Charley really enjoyed the pizza. This is her new "cheese" face. Cutie pants.


...Grace had to show Linda and Randy her Frozen Elsa dress and the Let It Go video that she uses to sing along with her new microphone that she got for Christmas. When she put the microphone down, Charley grabbed it and went to town.





Jeremy played with the girls in their new kitchen, and Charley made him a sandwich. She also fed it to him, tried to give him a drink of water, and poured it all over him. Don't worry, though. She also helped clean it up.





The guys (and Linda) had tequila shots in honor of Kasie.



We had so much fun hanging out with all of our extended family. Love you all so much!









Happy Birthday, Kasie!

...we brought Charley's old sleeper downstairs for her to sleep in while we partied. She has slept in it every night since, and asks to sit in it to watch movies and when she wants a nap. So silly.


...we had breakfast with Allison and Alex before they had to catch their flight back to Ohio on Saturday. Sad to see them go, but we'll be seeing them again real soon!


...Saturday night, Francesca and I went to the Britney Spears concert and had the best time. Britney is hot. She's such an amazing performer, and I cannot wait to see her again and again. We started off at La Salsa Cantina with some delicious margaritas before the show. GO SEE IT!!












...the girls played outside Sunday, and Shelly gave them each a bag of Lucky Charms to bring home. They both ran in the bedroom, dumped them on the floor, and began digging for marshmallows.





See you next week!

...Char was sleeping so peacefully Monday morning that I didn't want to wake her up. ...she made me a pretty picture at school with chalk. ...she continued her obsession with the easel and colored (and watched Toy Story ) while waiting for Daddy to get home from work. Hooray for panties! ...it got cold and windy again, but we played outside anyways. Isaac played catch with the neighbor boys, while JJ flew the kite and Char strutted her stuff. ...the girls danced around the living room. There is an iTunes Radio station called 'Frozen Radio' that the girls are crazy about. They play random Disney songs, and we listen to it all.the.time. (After watching this a few times, I realized that Char was trying to sing "friend in" as in "You've Got a Friend In Me".) ...Grace put Charley to bed by tickling her face. ...the girls got cake pops. Yep, for breakfast. ...we got to school a few minute...

Can you believe Grace is nineteen months old? Time flies so much faster when you have a baby! This month she got to go see Dr. Vu for a check-up and didn't even have to get any shots. She was super excited hanging out in the waiting room and even learned how to say "cars": At nineteen months, Grace weighs in at 26 pounds, 4 ounces. This puts her in the seventy-fifth percentile for weight. We absolutely love that she's so squishy. It's makes it much more fun to smother her cheeks with kisses. She is also 31 inches tall. This is in the sixtieth percentile. Baby must have gone through a growth spurt since her last check up, because she was only in the thirtieth percentile back then. This month Grace learned a lot of new words. My favorite is when we say her bedtime prayers and at the end she says, "aaaamennn". It's so precious! She's now obsessed with Elmo and says "Ah Ehmo?" for "Where's Elmo?". She's also go...

Charley turns FIVE!

Char Char, the five year old. That doesn't even seem real. This girl has grown and changed so much over the past couple of months. She's lost her toddler look and is total big girl status these days. (She does still have her chipmunk voice, so at least I can hang on to that.) Charley will be starting Kindergarten soon, and we have her orientation this upcoming weekend. I'm not ready for that. With Grace, I was so excited. Charley still feels like a baby to me. She, on the other hand, cannot wait to join her big sis and the Sebastian boys at school every day. Charley recently had a doctor's appointment where they told her she didn't need any shots, and she was so happy after anticipating them all day. She weighed in at forty pounds and stands forty-four inches tall. She's in the fiftieth percentile for weight and the seventy-fifth for height. She is in size five in almost everything and is wearing a size ten in shoes. Char loves her dresses a...
