Wintery Fun, Twinkle toes, and SANTA!

 We have had a really mild winter so far this year. We've had many days where the high gets into the mid 60s which is really nice! The weather man said yesterday that the same day last year the high was 34 and the low was 14...WHOA. Thats cold! This past weekend when Savannah woke up from her nap she was dying to play outside (hence the pajamas), So we threw her coat on and went to play. She had a ball running around and playing on her scooter.

We had friends over on Saturday night to decorate Christmas cookies and let the girls play. Marianna the middle girl is in Savannahs school class. It was a fun time the kids had a ball. And they are from San Diego too, how random!

Sarah snagged a marshmallow when no one was looking...or maybe it was two...or three...

Savannahs Tap and Ballet school doesn't let the parents normally watch the class practice. Yesterday they had a holiday party and we were able to come see their progress so far this year. It was hilarious and really cool to watch!

She's flexible!

Splits!

Little girls in ballet outfits are precious!

Our work does something really neat at Christmas. Santa comes in from the North Pole and we get to have a nice private meeting with him. A lady at work and her husband are photographers and they do an amazing job taking pics of all the kids with Santa. When we got in the car Savannah said "Mommy, Santa was really nice." We drove home singing out loud to Christmas music looking for Christmas lights! 

Sweetest little nuggets! She loves her little brother!

My new iPhone case! My babies! LOVE IT!

Little chunkster E is 8 months old today! Boy oh Boy does that boy like to eat now. We had our diffculty in the beginning but we sure don't now. Everytime you give him a bite he swallows fast and then opens his little mouth like a bird and he yells "ahhh!" for more. He loves it! He likes squash, apples, bananas, zucchini, sweet potatoes, broccoli, all sorts of new foods. We started him on yogurt this week but he threw up like he did with the regular formula. So apparently we need to get him some soy yogurt. Poor guy! He sleeps like a dream most nights and can thankfully find his own paci when he loses it. He's sitting up, rolling all over, and pushing himself around...mostly backwards. He gets up on all fours but hasn't made the move to crawling yet, I dont think it's going to be long!

Last week at work we had a team building excersize after work. It was a canvas painting class so I was more than apprehensive. I'm not an artist, not even close. Turns out the way the instructor shows you how to take it step by step made it easier and we were pretty proud with our results. I made a pink background one for Savvy and Kevin made a blue background one for Easton. When we showed them to Savannah she wanted the blue one, because thats her FAVORITE color according to her. Then she didnt want to hurt my feeling so she asked if she could have them both in her room...she's so cute.

KPs masterpiece

mine.

And lastly the Calhoun Yellow Jackets played for the State Title at the Dome. It came down to OT, and Adam clinched it with a field goal!!! This was a very happy moment for our fam. Go Adam #99! You make us so proud!

Until next week,
Love The Palmers
