A frigid and snowy second month.

 The sun and a cozy blanket are two of Dixie's favorite things.

 Keeping busy with art projects.

 Playing in the snow while staying warm.

 Daddy attempting to give Brooke her first bottle.

 Getting a long-overdue hair trim at the Sweet and Sassy salon.  She loved being pampered and her awesome braid!

  A little treat after lunch and playing at Chick-Fil-A.  Who isn't in the mood for ice cream when school was canceled due to cold temperatures?!

Brooke has been giving us the cutest first smiles all month!

She has lots of sweet little coos too.

 kisses!

Brooke's a tummy-time champ! 

 And it's even better when you have a cheerleader!

 Big sister Clara making her smile : )

She seemed to notice her feet for the first time while I was taking pictures of her : )

Ellie is FIVE!!!

 We celebrated her special day by going bowling and having lunch at Red Robin.

A little shy during the singing.

She wanted to put whipped cream on her nose before I took a picture because that's what the servers did to me on my birthday : )

Yummmm!

Merry Christmas!

 

 Christmas Eve at Nana and Papa's.

Waiting for Santa...

 He came!

 The girls were too excited to sleep on Christmas morning!  Ellie woke up especially early and sorted the presents for everyone.

 Opening for Brooke : )

 Christmas at Grandpa and Grandma's.

 All of the cousins- Effie, Ruthie, Brooke, Ellie, Mary, Aiden, Clara and Grace.
