Snow!

We finally got some snow. Georgia loves to help shovel. I can't say that Penelope loved being out in the snow...maybe a good sledding trip will solve that?

Merry Christmas!

The girls had a great Christmas though we had to wake them up to get it started...they are still on Arizona time! Penelope found the whole ordeal slightly overwhelming and wasn't that interested in opening gifts. Georgia however found the most joy in opening things and gladly helped her out! Top gifts included Lotso the Bear (from Toy Story 3), a sleeping bag, and a Belle (from Beauty and the Beast) dress up outfit for Georgia. Penelope enjoyed a new baby doll and a toaster for her kicthen.

After opening gifts at home, we spent a great day with family. We relaxed while opening presents, enjoying a yummy breakfast and later some lobster stew and desserts, and watching movies. We couldn't stop remarking how next year Georgia will be 5, Penelope will be 2 1/2, cousin Nolan will be 1 1/2, and the unborn baby will be 10 months!

Phoenix Zoo

We spent the first full day of our trip to visit Grammy Dianne at the Phoenix Zoo. After a cold start to winter, it was great to be able to run around outside. The highlight for us all was feeding the giraffes! It was an amazing experience!

Cookie Decorating

Every year since I was little we have decorated Christmas cookies. This year we switched it up a little and did gingerbread cookies instead of sugar cookies though I think based on their unpopularity in the house, we will be switching back. It was exciting for Penelope to finally be able to participate, although she lost interest in the decorating part and quickly moved on to the sampling part!

Holy Belly Batman

All of a sudden my belly popped! I am 30 weeks today. Pants Gran (Georgia's chosen name for Baby Cobb #3) will be here so soon! We can't wait to meet this baby (and find out if this one is a boy or a girl). So far the current bets in the house are even with Miles and Georgia saying boy and P and I saying girl (but P is probably just repeating me). Time will tell....

Outtakes

Georgia is such a ham. While Penelope napped, we had fun playing with photobooth on my computer.

P also loves to make silly faces....here are a few we captured together on my phone.
