| My happy little baby girl |
 |
| My happy big toddler boy |
 |
| They are really starting to interact and play together more and more. Tonight Jack had Gracie giggling so much by tickling her and playing peek-a-boo. It was precious. |
 |
| My little "tool belt diva" loves to play with brother's tools |
 |
| I thought this expression was so cute - It was like she was trying not to smile. |
 |
| This was taken by his babysitter this week, and she sent it to me. |
 |
| Loves to match up his cards from the Memory Match game. |

| "Smile really big, Jack." |

| Watching The Jungle Book one morning. Oh how I have LOVED every second of this Winter break being able to spend so much time with my babes. Love being able to hang out in jammies until late morning. |

| Haha - Colin's funny face. He's converting Jack's crib into a toddler bed. We got 2 years of being able to plop him in there and not have to worry about him getting hurt by climbing out. I had laid him down for nap yesterday, and Colin came back to tell me that Jack came tiptoeing around the corner of the hallway and whispered, "cuddle?". We figured that was our cue to do this. Last night we laid him down at the normal bedtime, 7:30. He got up once immediately, and Colin laid him back down. He was asleep until about 1:30 when I was awoken out of a dead sleep to him screaming. This went on about every 15 minutes, and we (okay COLIN) would tuck him back into bed. Finally at 3:30 I went out there and said, very firmly, "Get into your bed. Do not get up again until morning." And he obeyed. Tonight, he got up once again right away, but nothing since. It's been an hour, so praaaaaying for a full night's sleep for all of us. |

| These next pictures are just him playing in his bed after Colin got it all set up. |
 |
| I set my camera on the nighttime mode, and took this picture last night before Colin and I went to bed. |
The next pictures are all from today when we headed to Universal's Islands of Adventures with the Rayburn clan. Jack had an absolute ball, and Grace was a trooper as always. She enjoyed the caroseussal. We stuck around kiddie land, which is a Dr. Seuss themed area --- the best kiddie land in any park I've been to. It's so much fun! In addition to the caroseussal (twice), Jack rode Cat in the Hat, the Dr. Seuss roller coaster/people mover, and One Fish Two Fish. He also got to meet Cat in the Hat and The Grinch as well as some of the Who's of Whoville.
And is is 8:38, and I'm off to bed...on NYE. :) Maybe that means my year will be relaxing! Again, hoping for a great night of sleep!!!
