A Month Has Passed Already?!?!?!

Wow... So I just realized it's been over a full month since last I wrote... I guess hopping back on "the wagon" is more difficult than I thought!

Since both Thanksgiving and Christmas has passed since last I checked in, I thought the best way to update you on the Castellano Family's going-ons is in a mom-styled photo listing. I also FINALLY added poor Shea to the photo header of the blog so she's represented (nothing like waiting eight full months just to be sure she made the cut)!!!

Anyway, enjoy these photos and I'll try to do better in 2014... Sorry again!!!


This ALMOST became our Holiday Card photo this year... Unfortunately no one would have likely understood the humor except for us... But this is our life!!! (Note the facial expression of all three of our "angels". Now that's priceless)
Both the twins got a Daddy-Daughter Date Day this month. Braelyn choose lunch with two of her favorite foods - mac & cheese along with mashed 'taters (but NO gravy!!!).
Mom & Dad brought the twins to the movie theatre for the first time so they could see Frozen. ..They did surprisingly well as their Princess Anna dolls will attest!
Daddy, this is what happens when you leave me alone with Mommy...
And this is how I end up getting dressed when I'm left alone with Daddy!!!


Braelyn and Gwendolyn prep for their first church pageant by singing "Away in a Manger" for Mommy & Daddy. 
Shea Frances discovers just how soft Daddy's belly is.


Santa got the twins a doll house this year stocked full of dolls and accessories.
Gwendolyn was excited to say the least when her cast was finally taken off!!! Now we are working to strengthen her leg and getting her acclimated again to her walker and forearm crutches. Let's just say that the former has been an easier task than the latter thus far.
 
A rare moment of cuddles for the twins... They must have remembered that Santa would be coming to town soon.
Since you can't quite make it out, Shea's shirt reads "My First Christmas"


"What's the deal with all these lights?"
 


(L-R) Cousins Anthony & Ava join Braelyn & Gwendolyn on a train ride at Union Station. We had our whole family in town for Thanksgiving this year.


Ah, this really is the perfect bookend to this conglomerate of holiday photos... The Castellano trio meets up with Santa at Dad's holiday office party. As you can see, Shea doesn't quite know what to think, Braelyn is happy to smile as long as she can get her hands on whatever Santa's got for her in that gift bag, and poor Gwendolyn just wants a hug from Mommy and/or Daddy... As long as the team's mascot KC Wolf is no where in sight that is!!!
