This Christmas week we've had many walks outside. Gwen likes to come along too!
Gwen 6 weeks old.We took Gwen in for her check-up and she weighed in at almost 12 lbs! That put her in the 95th percentile! She is our big growing girl!
December 23 - aka FestivusDaddy and Cara participate in the traditional Feats Of Strength!
The Byrne Girls!
Gwen getting excited for Christmas.
Cara's Christmas Eve candy cane!
Daddy and Cara talking about Santa!
Cara all dressed up for Christmas Eve church. She was very proud of wearing a dress with a bow - she thought it looked like the Cat in the Hat!
When we got back from church Santa had flown over and dropped some Magic Sleeping Pyjamas off for Cara and Gwen.
Gwen lasted about 2 hours in her pjs before she spit up on them and needed some new ones....
Gwen thought 8 am was too early to get up (even on Christmas) so she slept most of the morning.
Cara and Mummy in awe of the tree and the piles of presents Santa brought!
Stocking time!
Gwen opening a gift....took her a very long time ;)
Cara opening her first Santa gift and it was.....
...a Cookie Monster!That is a picture of pure joy!
Santa brought Gwen a lamb to sleep with.
Cara loved the chaos of the morning.
And playing with all the new toys!
Opening her Wiggles blanket from Aunt Sarah - She talks to the Wiggles' faces that are on the fabric. So cute!
Gwen also loved the chaos of the morning - such a stressed out baby!
Cara opened gifts at an incredible speed...she was a blur!
Santa brought a sled for the sisters!
Cara finally got to open the big gift and loved her very own kitchen!
Our little chef got right to work cooking lunch!
There is a Gwen in there somewhere!
Gwen and her first Christmas haul - thanks to everyone!
We went to Nana's and Howie's for Christmas Dinner and Santa had left Cara another gift there! Pots and pans for the kitchen!
