Easing Easel

We all had a very fun filled Christmas day - it literally took the entire day to open gifts since the boys became obsessed with every new toy and wanted to stop and play after receiving each one.  I have sooo many pictures to go through...but more to come from Christmas!

Well the day after Christmas was not as relaxed and fun for the boys as they might have hoped.  It snowed and we couldn't even go out and play because we were scheduled to take Spencie to the pediatrician for his 9 month checkup and get flu shots for the boys while we there.  This was the first time the twins truly remembered and associated unhappy memories from just being in the waiting room, doctor's office, seeing the nurses, etc., because they screamed and cried the whole time... before anything was even done to them!  Poor babies - we let them play with their new easel in the kitchen while we made dinner that night.  They love putting all the magnetic animals and letters on, and Owen especially likes trying to spell his name.  And Spencie won't be left out of the action - it's the perfect height for him to stand and hold on to the tray.  I love the last picture of all 3 of them playing with it together!
