Slumber Party in front of the Christm...
As part of our wonderful Advent (nightly family time) celebration, one of our special activities was to sleep next to the Christmas tree.

My little peanut had a major growth spurt in the last six months. From March to August both H & G grew 1.5″. I knew it had to be a lot when the G’s pants were all suddenly 2 & [...]
