Twin Power - PJ Fun

It has been so fun to be at home with the twins for the Christmas holidays. The first week was very busy with Christmas activities and now in the second week we are having many p.j. days. I organized the playroom with all the new wonderful toys.

We have gone to having two of everything (much less fighting over toys) but this airplane toy we only have one of. The twins love, love, love this toy, but alas they are not very good at taking turns. Today they came up with a very unique solution to the problem of turns. It was hilarious to watch them go forward then back.

Christmas 2010

It was a whole week of Christmas at the Giles house. Aunite Jenn came to visit so we celebrated Christmas a little early with her on the 20th. Granny cooked an awesome Turkey Dinner. Then we got on with the presents! Granny, Piper and her new baby.

Who needs presents when you have a box to play in.

Piper likes this present thing! Opa is helping her get her new baby doll out of the package.

Then Austin and Harmony came to stay, so we did it all again. This time with Christmas morning waffles and whipped cream... then onto the presents... again!

Oh, how I love tags!

Tristan loving the Christmas tree ornaments!

What a wonderful week of Christmas, but now we are back to us four. We spent a very quiet Christmas day in our p.j.'s...and now it is boxing day and it is shaping up to be another wonderful p.j. day. We feel very blessed to have such a wonderful family and we are all looking forward to 2011 and what it might bring. We wish all the best for all our family and friends and look forward to seeing you all in 2011.

Happy Birthday Grandpa!

Today was Grandpa's 81st birthday. We went down to High River to celebrate the occasion.

Grandpa and Tristan reading a magazine together! Piper getting in on the action, but no sure if she wants to stay.

Piper decided to stay, but Tristan was very busy with that magazine.

Tristan and Piper dog piling their cousin Daniel!

Slipper fun!

Yesterday I got out the twins new Christmas slippers. I honestly wasn't sure they would even wear them, but they were so darn cute I just had to buy them. Reindeer for Tristan and little pink mice for Piper. They love, love, loved them. We couldn't get Piper to take hers off at bed time. Tristan was beside himself, he loved them so much. He wouldn't even sit still for the photo. Or maybe it was couldn't. Maybe the reindeer just had to dance and prance!

Santa 2010

On Sunday we went to see Santa. We were a little worried about how the twins would react to Santa, but they actually did pretty well. Tristan actually looks like he is smiling and we are so happy that Piper is not freaking out! Last year we couldn't get them to both look the same direction, so I think we did much better this year.



Thought it would be fun to compare last years Santa photo to this years! My how they have grown and changed!

Christmas comes early!

Christmas came early to our house. We were at Toys r us a couple of weeks ago and we saw these cars. I put Piper in the pink one and she loved it. In fact, so much that when I took her out of the car she had a huge temper tantrum. We didn't get the cars that day, but we did get them a week or so later. Daddy did a great job of putting them together. The horns honk and it is so comical to see how the twins "steer".

We thought since the weather has been so beautiful that it would be fun to have the cars now instead of waiting until Christmas when there the roads would be bad! LOL

Nine sets of twins and their parents.

Today we went to a party for 9 sets of twins. They were all part of our pre-natal class a year or so ago. Now all of them are crawling, some are walking, and some are really close to walking. It will be fun to see all the one years when they are two.

Not so fast Tristan!

Tristan is getting very, very good at pushing and walking the airplane. He thought it would be fun to give Piper a push! At first Piper thought it was fun...

Slow down...

I want off...

Get me off of this thing!

Look at me!
