Merry Christmas!

This attempt at a family picture is quite pathetic, but it's as good as it gets.

Merry Christmas to all!

December has been a crazy month so far! Here are a few pictures that we've managed to take between feeding babies and changing diapers. We've tried to give David as much attention as possible as he has acted out a little since the babes arrived.

Dan took David to a train museum that's close to our house. There were a bunch of train exhibits set up outside and David was in hog heaven. He is obsessed with trains!

Last night we took David to the temple visitor center and saw the lights.

David got his first real haircut yesterday and all his curls were cut off. His hair was getting a bit fuzzy and shaggy so it was time. He looks so grown up now!

Such handsome studs!

Our babies have arrived....

5 weeks ago! I wanted to update my blog right after they arrived but life has been so hectic as I'm sure you can imagine.

Thomas Gordon & Emily arrived November 11, 2011 (11/11/11) at 7:30pm. Thomas was 6 pounds, 5 ounces and was 20 inches long. Emily was 5 pounds 15 ounces and was 19 inches long. I was induced early that morning and it took all day for the doctor to finally break my water and get things started. I only pushed 3 times for Thomas and Emily just slipped on out. I feel so fortunate that I didn't have to have a c-section and everything went so perfectly.

Things have been crazy since we've been home. I feel like all we do is feed babies and change diapers (I still have a 2 year old in diapers as well) and I barely find time to shower or brush my teeth. We're happy but super tired!

Here are some pictures of our little babes!
