A Very Hoffman Christmas

I really don't have enough words to describe how special this Christmas was for our family. I'll just let the pictures tell the story.

Christmas Eve with the Hoffmans


Come on boys! Let's get a picture with Auntie Tiff.

We tried to get all the kids in the picture, but Elise was sleeping and Thad is a little camera shy these days.
Santa came early to Ross and Carolyn's. Boy, was he good to us!!!!

After spending Christmas Eve with the Hoffman's, we spent the night with Grandma Hany and Papi. We left cookies, milk and carrots for Santa and his reindeer and went straight to bed.
Oh! before we fell asleep, we heard Santa on the rooftop jingling bells! Thad was asleep, but the look on Eli's face was priceless.







All three boys got REAL cowboy boots. They are so adorable!

Elise loves her new Glow Worm from Derrick, Dawnna and Chase.
Santa got Mommy the most beautiful necklace too. The two charms on top say Elise and Lydia and the bigger ones on the bottom say Eli and Thad. There is also a small one that says, 04 to represent our anniversary. I LOOOOOVEEEE my new necklace!
I can't believe how many Christmas cards we got this year!
Lydia began eating solid foods 3 days ago and she loves it. She has eaten the whole bowl every time.
I tried feeding Elise tonight for the first time and this was the look she gave me. She HATED it. She is obviously not ready for this yet. It's so amazing that twins can be so different. Lydia has been rolling all over the place for a couple weeks and Elise hasn't quite done it yet, but she grabs objects better than Lydia and is more engaged with toys. This whole experience is crazy and amazing and I fall in love with these girls more and more each day....we all do. The boys love their sisters and Ryan calls Elise his little Point Guard. I love watching Ryan with his little girls.
Thad's new Cowboy chair from Hany and Papi.
Jeremy and Darla got this ADORABLE ornament made for us this year. I think it is one of my favorite things ;)

Happy New Year Everyone!

What a great post! I like the ornament, your necklace, the cowboy boots... It is very interesting what you wrote about the girls learning/growing differently, even though they are twins.
