A sweet memory...

It's always amazing to me how certain smells, tastes, and sounds can resonate with you and bring back fond memories. For me the holidays are filled with these moments. This year I have savored the times I have gotten to have a peppermint mocha while I walk around Target, or dance in my living room while holding my babies and singing along with Christmas carols. My heart has been so full with these sweet moments.
I have always loved all of the family traditions and time spent together around the holidays. I cherish the memories I have of my siblings and I when we were kids on Christmas morning, of my parents, and grandparents. This year Jeremy and I got to start some of our own family traditions with our babies. Jeremy was scheduled to work Christmas Eve and Christmas day but a friend offered to work for him on Christmas day so he could be home for the babies first Christmas. It was so sweet to get to experience that as a family and I am so thankful for the thoughtfulness of the guy he works with to offer. Here are a few pictures from the morning...

We got to spend Christmas day with Jeremy's parents and brother Matt and his girlfriend Stephany in Colorado Springs. Dianna (Jers mom) hosted a beautiful Christmas dinner and a warm and wonderful evening filled with presents and lots of time playing with the babies.






The Franceschini's just came into town so we will be celebrating Christmas with my family soon...more pictures to come!

Turkey day, Christmas trees, and Santa oh my!

This post is totally backwards but still fun...
Merry Christmas! Darling Doubles Christmas Party with Santa.


James and Elli were dedicated on December 4th. It was really amazing to have our families there. Chris and Jen came in and Shanna was here too! It was really cool.

We cut down a Christmas tree with the babies this year.






Jeremy had to work this Thanksgiving so the babies and I drove to Cripple Creek to celebrate Thanksgiving with the guys on his shift. They are all such great people!

Such a proud daddy...

2 Months old

Jeremy's dad Reid came for a visit and the babies loved getting to see their grandpa.

Jeremy is such a good daddy...
We were feeling rather stir crazy and so we randomly drove to Breckenridge for the day. It was beautiful as usual. We went for a walk along the river and then had crepes, yum!




The babies are 2 months old and I can't believe how fast they are changing. I know I say this all the time but they are such sweet babies.
James has become so smiley and interactive with us. When I go in to the nursery to wake him up he smiles and smiles at me and it just makes my heart bubble over with love. James is 9 lbs 9 oz now. He is long and lean but he has started to get little fat rolls on his thighs.
Elli is doing so well too. She is 11 lbs 2 oz now and soft and adorable. She is a really content baby most of the time and loves to be on her tummy. She has really good head control already!
The two of them could not be more different. We love their unique little personalities and are looking forward to the next milestones.

Happy 2 month birthday babies!!
