Basically this is just a bunch of pictures of things we've done lately.
I hosted a baby shower for a friend in my ward. It is easier to have people over to my house then to try and leave the house, so I have to have my friends come to me. It was a simple shower, but thanks to Pinterest I think it turned out really cute. (These pictures are for my mom)
"Baby its cold outside"
Hot chocolate bar and baby bottle snowflakes
Autumn helped a lot with the snowman diaper cake. She rolled them up and taped a bunch of them for me.
Violet and Maverick looking on as the rest of us were trying to get in the Christmas spirit with one of my favorite traditions...painting ceramic figurines.
Autumn loves painting hand prints.
Typicla scence at our house. Autumn playing by herself after I've had to leave to take care of the babies, while she makes a small mess. She isn't destructive or inherently messy, just 2 years old. Also there is a basket of laundry waiting to be folded and milk on the desk waiting to be put in bottles and of course Autumn's shoes on the floor. (Evan is taking the picture and he was doing the dinner dishes)
Final products (mine, Evan's, Autumn's) Evan didn't get to finish because the babies needed attention.

3 months!
Violet is a calm baby and is generally a really good sleeper. She loves her pacifier and being wrapped very tight when she sleeps. She likes to be rocked cradle style and typically fall asleep very easily. She loves baths and hates to be burped and hates a dirty diaper.
Maverick hates baths and loves to eat. He cries when you remove the bottle as if he'll starve to death as a result often overeats. He does not likes baths. He likes to be held upright to fall asleep and loves pats on his back. He giggles and laughs regularly. Maverick is getting big and fits into 6 months things!
Autumn SO excited about her new Christmas ornament...I picked one that represented her this year...ARIEL
Decorating the tree on Daddy's day off. I conceded to buying a fake tree this year. I have to admit it is much easier than getting a real one, but I miss the smell. I'm glad I won't have to sweep needles or water the thing.
The babes "first ornaments".
Autumn was more interested in unwrapping the ornaments than hanging them up. She was SO excited to look at all the different ornaments. I love decorating the tree and being reminded of different people/places that are represented by the ornaments.
Final touch...the star
Autumn insisted that Snow White hang on the tree by Ariel.
Cute, am I right?
Autumn wanted to hid. Look at Mav's little smile.
First year Evan helped with the Christmas cards.
My cousin gave me this fancy bottle...easier to feed two babies at once when one can feed them self!
Making a gingerbread house (aka haunted cookie house...after Halloween clearance)
Autumn had as much fun eating the candy as she did decorating
Mav and Violet in matchy matchy outfits...Look how much taller Maverick is than Violet (notice you can't see Violet's feet)
Meeting Santa at our Twin Club Christmas party.
Maverick and I on the horse drawn carriage ride.
Hair cut time. Maverick
Violet. Good bye mullet!
