Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!

The 4 Webbs wish everyone an awesome Christmas day and weekend.


To say we experienced "family time" over the past few days is the understatement of the year. Having a few days off work (so far) is giving me the chance to have quality time with the twins and much more is expected as I take vacation days to have more adventures.

This next picture shows what happens when Daddy is left alone a home with the twins during lunch time and tries to capture the moment in a picture. I moved Easton and Layla's chairs close together, crouched down between them and said, "put your head on daddy's head!"


They must have thought I said, "put your HAND on daddy's head." Realizing the mis-queue I took the picture anyway and it turned out special enough on its own.

Christmas eve was special as the 4 Webbs shared it with Kendra's immediate family (minus her brother Logan and adding Great Grandma, GG). Layla is more entertaining every day with how she puts on a show for whoever is around to watch. I told her to show us her cute face and her head tilts further and further all the time.


The gifts for the twins were amazing and they had a blast tearing through the wrapping paper and playing with all the toys and gifts. I've been trying to figure out for months now what instrument to get them as a first taste of music. The elecrtic piano is a big hit, but we'll have to work on "gentle hands" instead the forceful hand banging we experienced last night.


Uncle Casey showered the twins with several winners and one I know they will use to its fullest extent is the gargantuan Tonka dump truck. here is Layla sitting in the dumper.


While playing at a park last month, Easton and Layla convinced some boy at the local park to let them play with his Tonka dump truck and they loved it! Nothing is more exciting to a toddler than loading and unloading so I am certain there will be many more pics and playtime in the future involving the dump truck.

I'm not sure what the thing on Layla's head is called, but she looks like an angel with it on her head.


No doubt this will be part of the items we've collected for a dress-up box. After a full day of family madness in the house Easton and Layla hit their limit for staying awake. Oma was more than happy to pose for the official Night Before Christmas picture while cuddling with the twins.


Christmas morning was not too exciting since we opened gifts the night before, but Easton and Layla were able to dig through their stockings to find Mommy's hidden gems.


Easton was still half asleep after rumaging through the stocking, but even behind his thumb sucking it is easty to see his sweet little smile.


After stockings and breakfast we packed up the family and drove over to Aunt Suzie and Uncle Jeff's house. Easton was amazed by all the cows we passed in the open fields on the way their. He pushed his sunglasses up in order to get a better view of the herd of cows up ahead.


Our morning at Aunt Suzie's house can only be described as structured chaos. Cousins and nieces and nephews were hustling through the house filtering between the groups of people standing around talking. We decided to join the family outside and luckily we practiced on the try-cycle at home because Oma found great success pushing around the street.


Layla was less interested in anything with wheels and focused on the relationship building aspect with her free time. After meeting her cousin, Rowan, for the first time, she did her best to become instant BFFs including (but not limited to) good old-fashioned hugs.


The 4 Webbs headed home, but realized too late that we had no house key to Oma and Opa's house. Since they were several minutes behind us on the road home we parked in front of the house and wandered through the neighborhood... With our sunglasses on, of course!


This is what Christmas in California looks like (for those of you who are snowed in or have seen any temperature in the single digits lately). Layla looks like a movie star!


We are so blessed and almost every day Kendra and I say to each other how much we want the twins to stay in this stage of life forever. OK, I could do without diapers, but other than that I am soaking up their love even as they drain the energy out of my body just trying to keep up with them.

See you soon!
