We had a VERY fun filled winter break. Instead of doing several different posts I figured it would be easier to just compile them all into one FULL post.

The boys made beautiful gingerbread houses:

Daddy {and Uncle Alex} worked SO hard and got the rink ready for the boys to skate on:

We celebrated Uncle Alex's Birthday{we took him to Hibachi for dinner}:

Daddy took the boys to the local Police Station:

London turned 18 months on Christmas day, so we had to wait until Monday for her 18 month check-up. She is still the smallest of all 3 kids, by far and she is the most feisty, by far. She is a busy little girl...learning to talk up a storm. She currently says; mamma, dadda, eaton{easton}, bubble, up, nack{snack}, apple, anta{santa}. She definitely has to have things her way or no way. She was in the 25% for weight but has once again dropped to the 20%, so the Dr was a little concerned, she didn't gain the 2lbs that most kids gain and need to gain in order to thrive. We are working on ways to hopefully help her gain the 2 lbs they want her to by her 24month appointment. She is just so busy that she doesn't like to stop{sit} and eat, but we are doing all we can to help her chunk up a bit. Here are all her stats{more for my records than anything else}.

Weight: 21lbs 9oz{20%}

Height: 31 3/4 inches{45%}

Head Circumference: 46 cm{20%}

London Ann words could NEVER express how much we love you. You are an angel who is so adored by her entire family! You are a sweet, feisty, happy, loving little girl and we wouldn't trade you for anything in the world. We have enjoyed being your parents for the last 18months and are looking forward to the next 18 years with you!! WE LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH!!
