December 2009

Whew! December was a busy month for us and I'm happy to say that it is over! We enjoyed our Christmas together and are very blessed to have had such a wonderful holiday! Here are some photos:

Taylor was lucky to have the chance to see the Nutcracker Ballet with Nana and Aunt Karen. Here is a photo of the three lovely ladies before they headed out. Here's Owen playing with our new Christmas Jingle puppy- the puppy barks Jingle Bells. So Cute! Owen couldn't get enough of this dog. Christmas Eve we took the kids out to look at Christmas lights around the neighborhood. Then we came home and the kids got to open their Christmas PJ's. Jason surprised me with a pair of Christmas PJ's, too! After opening our PJ's, we opened a gift that Grandma and Papa sent for the kids. It was a recordable book of The Night Before Christmas! We all truly enjoyed listening to Papa read the story! This will definitely become a Schieber tradition to read this book on Christmas Eve. Here are some pictures from Christmas morning- Owen got his very own vacuum cleaner! The story behind this gift...Owen loves to play with our vacuum cleaner, so we decided to keep him from playing with the real vacuum all the time, it would be a great idea to get him one of his own. Plus, it's never too early to teach good cleaning habits! Taylor in her new winter hat...she's so cute! Taylor snuggling with her new Webkin and blanket Owen in his matching sweater and hat The kids coloring in their new coloring books Christmas morning Taylor playing Super Mario Bros on the Wii And finally.....Owen has learned how to climb out of his playpen. After weeks of practice he finally mastered the skill! It was January 2nd and I was making breakfast. I put him in the playpen to finish up a few things and before I knew it he was right under my feet again. I took a minute to record the second attempt- here it is, complete with Taylor acting as the cheer squad in the background- too cute! The landing was a bit rough so I shortened the video. Don't worry, he's alright!
