Baby's first Christmas & 10 months old!

We had a wonderful first Christmas! Ben and Eli are crawling all over the place now like lightening. They're also pulling up on everything in sight. The little adventurous sides in both of them are definitely starting to show! Baby gates are everywhere in our house now. Our family room looks like a big cage!! Eli's new thing this week is clapping. He claps at everything!! Ben likes music. When he hears it he rocks back and forth to it. It's adorable!

Ben and Eli were so spoiled this Christmas. Thanks to all of our family and friends for such wonderful gifts! They got so many new toys!! Wouldn't you know that they still love the remote control and our cell phones better than all that new stuff though. Go figure! No really, they love it all! The walkers are helping them learn to walk and we took a walk outside today in their new red wagon. Even though it was a little cloudy here, it was like 56 degrees!

I couldn't find my camera the whole time we were at the Psota's this Christmas, so I'm hoping to get more pictures from other people of that. Here are some that I took at the "Terkhorn" Christmas though. The one of all of us on the steps just shows how much our family has grown over the years. It used to be a tradition for the grandkids (Jeff, Rachel, Mike & Pete & myself) to sit on the couch every year at Mammam & Pappap's house. Now we fill a whole staircase!

We're also getting lots of time to spend with Jeff, Michaela, Anna and our new little cousin, Zoe! We're all having so much fun. I wish they didn't have to go back to Germany in a week. :( I think we're planning a trip to Chuck-E-Cheese tomorrow. Anna remembered doing that last year and has been asking about it all week. She's such a doll!! Here's a cute picture of the boys and Zoe.

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas as well. Happy New Year too!!
