We had a fabulous 2-week vacation from the real world in the form of the Christmas holiday. As always, the time went by too fast! Here are some of my favorite pictures of all the fun!

Lily - all smiles on Christmas morning
One of the highlights of Christmas morning were the "Bear in the Big Blue House" stuffed animals the girls received. They have recently fallen in love with this old Disney show. It's no longer on the air, so finding books, stuffed animals, etc. is a challenge. Joey had mentioned this in passing to a colleague at school and on the Friday before Christmas break she brought him a bag of "Bear in the Big Blue House" stuffed animals. She used to work at the Disney Store and would buy things on clearance when they were discontinuing merchandise. She said these toys had been sitting in her closet for about 5 years and she wanted to give them to our girls. What an amazing blessing and what a wonderful friend! The girls were beside themselves when they saw their "Bear" toys...and they are sleeping with them at night as well as dragging them all over the house during the day. (Cassidy is pictured above with Bear.)

In other news, Lily and Cassidy are both in new beds. We moved Cassidy's toddler bed into Lily's room and she has been sleeping in it for the past two weeks. Although initially she seemed to prefer sleeping on the floor beside her door, she is now very comfortable in her big girl bed. Cassidy is now sleeping in the "Super Duper Big Girl Bed," her daybed. Lily has peed and pooped on the potty several times and we play to go through the 3-day potty training process with her in a couple of weeks. Stay tuned - we're about to be a diaper-free household for the first time in 3 1/2 years! :)
