Hanukkah...Christmas.....and...Football Oh My!!

We just wrapped up a super crazy multi-holiday week. We had Hanukkah in Portland and then went down to Eugene for Christmas. The girls still don't totally understand the message of the holidays and instead just look for the next present, and the next, and the next.  I think they care more about unwrapping something.  I guess the good news is that I can just wrap up things they need and pass them off as gifts and the girls will be totally content. For example, this year I wrapped a ton of underpants, tights, and pjs.

These two weeks have been so much fun.  We spent good quality family time with the four of us but we also got to spend time with Grammy Bobbi, Grandpa Bill, Grammy Linda, and Papa Gary.  We had a great time with everyone and can't believe what an amazing family we have.  Our girls are lucky to have such wonderful and loving grandparents.   Emily and Ellery have such amazing relationships with each one, I couldn't imagine life any other way.

Ellery is no longer our pink only girl.  She now loves all colors and Emily only wants pink.

 Over the holiday break we also got to watch the Oregon ducks play (AND WIN) the Rose bowl! 

The girls not only were excited to root for their favorite team they were exited to hold their first........

 

Baby!!!  Meet Baby Lyla.  Ellery loved holding her!

Emily was a little more nervous but they both were so excited to have a special moment with her.  Thanks Fischer Family for bringing the newest Oregon fan over to watch the game!

Happy Holiday!!!
