Picture of the Week: Christmas at Bellagio


The girls had dress up days for school, since it was the last week before break. Grace's teacher sent us this picture of all the kids in their holiday headgear.


We had our Christmas party for all of our field guys at work on Monday, and it was so fun. We always raffle off all kinds of gifts from cash to household products to kids' bikes. It's always fun to watch the guys expressions when they win.



Perry watched Polar Express before bed and loved it.



Grace's class had pajama day on Friday, and they all brought board games to play.



Brielle came over with Grandpa and Grandma, and she and Perry had fun playing with baby dolls.


The girls had a sleepover with Grandpa and Grandma on Saturday. They love when they get to spend time with their cousins. Grandma even let them make cookies!


Sunday morning, we went to the Bellagio Conservatory and Botanical Gardens. They always change it for every season, and Christmas is the best each year.




The girls' favorite part was the train. They loved waiting for it to come around and got excited every time.










While we were there, we had to stop by the chocolate fountain. I always dream of being able to just lay under it and eat allll the chocolate.


After the Bellagio, we headed to the movie theater to watch The Grinch. It was super cute, and Perry ate her weight in popcorn. She also had a hotdog, some sour straws, an Icee, and Dibs.




She passed out with about five minutes left of the movie, and Daddy had to carry her out.


We had plans to drive around, drink hot cocoa, and check out everyone's Christmas lights that night. Unfortunately, all of the junk from the movies caught up to Perry, and she started throwing up. We decided to stay home to be safe, and she slept on me for most of the night. She was fine the next morning, thank goodness!


We had a fun week getting ready for Christmas! We can't wait to celebrate it next week. See ya then!

...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...
