Prybyla Christmas

Our family Christmas was very exciting for both of our wonderful girls. Andrea stumbled on her gifts from Santa on accident which made it almost like a Christmas morning. Santa had come to each of the girls in their bedrooms...mostly because Andrea had a Christmas tree in her bedroom.



Andrea recieved from Santa a Barbie Princess Castle and one of the small Barbie girls that went with it. She had seen the castle in a toy magazine and it was all that she talked about for over a month. She loved her gifts and Chris was amazing at wrapping the girls presents and putting together the Castle before wrapping it. Having toys together and ready to play with makes a huge difference in th eexcitement of the Christmas moment.


Ahleah recieved from Santa a crazy Christmas dog that sings and flaps its ears while it dances. She loved this crazy dog. She also recieved a book called "Counting Kisses" which she loves to chew on but still has no patience for sitting and being read to. Here is the video we made of Ahleah dancing to the Christmas dog.

It has been a completely crazy Becker Christmas! 

We had an amazing Christmas celebration with my parents and siblings this past weekend. The girls loved it of course! They each recieved way too many gifts and love opening them and playing with their new toys. I think they both enjoy the wrapping paper more than the toys! 

We also had a whole family photo taken which was mildly a disaster! I didn't realize that all of the family was to be in the photo. I thought it was for the grandparents and the girls! So I was not as prepared a I should have been. My older brother and his wife had the same impressions as I did. Eye glasses, ponytails, un shaved faces and all we were in the photo! I will add a photo once I recieve mine! I love family photos for the value of looking back at where we were and how we have changed. The last Becker family photo was taken in 2000. It is funny looking at how young we were then. 

I wish that this Christmas celebration was longer. The time spent with family always seems so short. Hopefully I will make a trip to Towanda again in January with the girls. The 4 hour drive to get there is my only hesitation! 

The next Christmas celebration will be in Tucson AZ with the Prybyla side of the family. Wish us luck for Ahleah's first flight and traveling with two children! We are scheduled to fly Christmas morning at 5:35 am. I really wish I were packed and wrapped already but I haven't even begun!

The four legged friends we could not live without! 

Tonight Ahleah took about 5 steps! I cannot believe that she is really starting to walk. She has been taking transitional steps between objects maybe 2 at most. I am really not ready for my sweet baby to become a true toddler and toddle around! Andrea is her cheerleader and love to help sometimes too much! I can't believe how quickly these girls have grown. They are so beautiful, unique, smart, silly, sweet, the both have sparkling eyes and contagious smiles!

Almost Christmas!

Yesterday I took Andrea and Ahleah to the santa's workshop at the bass pro shop with Courtney Gavin and Chloe. Andrea and Gavin were so very cute as the ran around together like best friends. They both were excited to see santa and ask for the toy they dream of for christmas. Ahleah and Chloe are both such easy going kids. The stroller were rolling and they were happy. Ahleah as always doesn't like the stroller and wants to be carried. So I always feel so silly haveing a huge sit n stand stroller with no children in it!

Today was so busy! Andrea and Ahleah had their school christmas program. I love that there is a school christmas program. Each year they sing new songs and each year I think Andrea gets better. We as usual were late. Chris and I could not agree on the starting time of the program and Ahleah at the last minute spit-up on her dress and had to be changed. Ahleah hates to have her clothes changed.

I cannot believe that christmas is less than three weeks away! I have so much to get done!
