Post Christmas blues

What mom makes their family wear coordinating outfits?

 How annoying.

Jacob, with the shaggy hair.

Merry, with stars in her eyes and on her skirt. The skirt leaves a trail of glitter where ever she goes.

 Grace lost one front tooth in time for Christmas

Adam is bearing the scars of a close encounter with the wildlife (aka Eliza).

Eliza, looks so innocent.

Eliza is 2

Happy birthday to our beautiful Eliza.

 What better way to start the day then to cuddle with your brother and sister.

Can you tell she had red velvet cake for her birthday.

 Modeling her birthday pjs.

Eliza is very opinionated about her apparel and usually wants to wear her pjs all day long.

 With her birthday cupcake.

After Jacob demonstrating how to blow out candles several times she finally mastered it.

Eliza is a little monkey and can climb into the tree house and onto the trampoline by herself.

She loves baby dolls,

horses, books and 

 playing peek-a-boo.

She is sweet about 90% of the time and very feisty the other 10%.

Yet another picture of Eliza.

Dang canoe bar ruining my pretty picture.  

Eliza and her elf to see how much she has grown since she was born.  (She was playing ring a round the rosies with him)

This is what you get when you ask her to make a silly face.

We love our sweet, sassy Eliza.

Christmas dance demo

 Merry at her Christmas Dance demo showing off her ballet moves.

 Merry's troop

Grace's demonstrating her back bend

 

and ballet skills.  

The both have loved dance this year and they are looking forward to the recital.

Happy December

 It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas with tank tops and shorts.

If you look closely one of Grace's front teeth finally fell out this week.

I am hoping her other falls out before Christmas that way her and Adam can sing a duet of all I want for Christmas is two from teeth.

Another picture from visiting Santa to get us in the holiday mood.  Eliza was not too sure about the man in red.

Sunday in December

Pretty Merry

The ladies in black.

Eliza undecorating the Christmas tree.

Us after 14 years

Since we forgot to take a picture on our actual anniversary this will have to substitute.

We were heading to Brian's work party, which we ditched early and then went to Target and went Christmas shopping.
