Kendall is FIVE months old!

I cannot believe this happy girl of ours turned five months old today! As of today, she is on roll over #2, can sit unassisted and play with her toys, still has no interest in tummy time or long naps, has decided it's fun to wake up and play in the middle of the night, is loving blowing raspberries and is getting big kick out of Charlie and chasing after her sister, and is still happiest in our arms.  Kendall, there is nothing quite like your big blue eyes and beautiful smile that lights up your entire face!  I can't wait to see what the next month has in store.

p.s. It appears this goofy facial expression runs in the family :) Here is big sis at 5 months old

A Holiday Photo Shoot

It turns out it is extremely challenging to get a three year old and five month old to focus and pose for the camera.  Here is the disastrous attempt at a cute holiday photo shoot.

Happy Holidays from the crazy Hanratty girls!

It's getting cold in Dallas

So we finally have reason to bundle up!

Merry Christmas from the Hanratty Family

Merry Christmas Eve!

Happy Kiddos on a VERY special day!  

 Leaving her homemade treats for Santa and his team!

These smiles melt my heart. After an amazing church service with my girls, all I can say is I am so very grateful for this family!  Again... isn't life amazing!

The Christmas Festivities Continue

 We started our Christmas week with a fun wagon ride through Highland Park to look at the lights with the Johnson family.  Although the reindeer, music boxes and nutcrackers were exciting, the high-speed wagon ride was the highlight.  And Kendall stayed awake and bright eyed through the entire ride!

 Then we hosted the Strauss family for a holiday play date.  It was a LONG overdue introduction of our babies, and the first play date with all four kiddos.  It was so much fun to watch Aidan and Mollie pick up just where they left off before their move, and watch the little ones hold hands while they were mesmerized by the Christmas snow globe.  Year two of the annual gingerbread house decoration showed some promising improvement!

Santa Clause is Coming...

To the lake?!

What the big kids thought was a weekend getaway to the lake with Nana and Papa turned out to be a surprise visit from Santa himself!  He pulled up in a fire truck, chatted with the kids in the house, and left them with a cookie (the highlight... ha!)

They also fit in some Christmas baking, Christmas movies, cuddle time, reading and a bonus of outdoor play on the beautiful winter day.  Thanks Nana and Papa, for hosting a great weekend for the big three!
