Merry Christmas!

Baby's first Christmas is here. We hope that everyone got just what they wanted for Christmas this year, we sure did!

Last night we decided to have another adventure with our girls. Armed with a fully stocked diaper bag and a couple bottles we headed out the door to the Olive Garden. The restaurant was surprisingly busy, but we were seated right away and they gave us these little stands to put the car seats on. We ordered our food and broke out the bottles for a quick feeding while we waited. It was a conscious decision to hold off feeding them until we got to the restaurant because it would give us plenty of time to sit, relax and enjoy our meals. At least that was the plan... thankfully it worked. Maddie and Liz were satisfied and the general din of the restaurant was soothing to them.

Erica and I always get lots of attention from strangers when we go out. I think more than anything else people are simply amazed by twins, especially newborn ones. We usually don't mind at all and welcome the opportunity to talk about our little angels. I doubt the fascination ever really goes away as they get older. I can think of at least 3 current TV commercials that feature twins. Plus there was a special on the National Geographic channel (thanks to the folks who gave us a heads up on that). It will be so interesting to discover all the things that make our girls so special.
