The girls had a wonderful weekend! Saturday was spent at home, playing with toys and intermittently napping. This is a picture of Emily enjoying some tummy time. Her neck muscles are getting stronger every day.
Lauren is developing better head control too. She has a very sweet smile.
The highlight of the weekend was driving down to Eugene on Sunday to meet a new friend, Zander Force. We originally met the Forces when we were living in Michigan, and Zander was born just a few weeks ago. Since no one is able to sit at this point, pictures were taken in the boppy pillow. From left to right: Lauren, Zander, and Emily.
Thank you to Jon and Karen for helping us take a family portrait! Emily is on the left and Lauren is on the right.
This is one of my favorite pictures of Lauren having fun with Dad.
Merry Christmas! It was so wonderful being able to spend time with our families this year. We were even lucky enough to have big white snowflakes coming down in the morning! 
We bought our first real Christmas tree this year... a noble fir.
Justin holding the girls... Lauren is on the left and Emily is on the right. They watched all of the festivities and by the end of the day, they were exhausted.
Grandma Rufener gave Emily (left) and Lauren (right) super fancy Christmas dresses! Lauren really enjoyed touching the fabric and pulling on Emily's dress.
