Christmas cards from the kiddos

Laurelea made this extra special card for us for Christmas. She is standing with her friend JJ from Preschool 

 What really impressed us was the note that we found inside!

 Will also sent us an adorable card

which included his little foot print! Thanks Sunshine for always thinking of these things. 

We also recently took Will to Picture People for his 3 month photo shoot. I wanted to wait until after the holidays to post as some may have received this as gifts :)

2014 Holiday Card

And the little one said...

Roll over, roll over! (3 months from front to back

and at 4 months from back to front!)

Will is 4 months!

Will, you are one third of your way through your first year! You are quite the little milestone man -- you can now roll over from your stomach to your back and from your back to your stomach. You love to move and are really trying to sit up. You still spit up a lot so that makes tummy time tough as you, generally lose most of what you have eaten. We're all getting better at timing for tummy time, though!

You have still been pretty sick and we are trying to get to the bottom of what is wrong. You have another chest cold and it seems like we're just going to have to ride it out. We've realized that you have been sick longer in your short life than you have been well. We are keeping our fingers crossed that we are getting to the bottom of your sickness so that you can start to be yourself! 

Even though you have not felt well, you still always have a smile for us. You have started to giggle and it's just about the best thing ever! You are also obsessed with your hands and are starting to grab at things and put things in your mouth. You are 13.8 lbs and over 26 inches long (update: 13lbs 13 oz, as of Christmas week). You are still gaining weight, which is good. 

We love you little guy and hope you start to feel better this next month. 

A certain someone has to go first with these pics...

Sunshine Holiday Party

On Friday evening we had the annual Sunshine Holiday Party. For past parties check out these links , 2012 and 2011

Laurelea has always had a fear of Santa. She sat on my lap in

front of him this year, which is progress. She still really didn't want to go anywhere near him!

St. Matthew's Holiday Program

On Friday we attended Laurelea's holiday program at preschool. It was a big deal, and we came excited to hear the "oh, wasn't that a band on Christmas morning" song that Laurelea has been singing nonstop. held in the chapel. She has been practicing the songs for weeks and it was so much fun to see her perform them! 

Laurelea's class were shepherds. This is L's friend Kaitlen

I've been meaning to do this for sometime. Will turns 4 months tomorrow so I figured now was the time to get all these on here. There could be duplicates from previous posts... Enjoy-- as we've sure loved having Will in our lives.
