Snow Day!

Today was our first snow day of the season, and we had the best day at home. The big kids slept in, made cookies, and spent a good chunk of their day out in the snow.

Isabel spent her time scooting around the floor! She started on her play mat and ended up all the way over here. We are going to have a crawler soon!

Pajama Story Time

The little girls got to wear their Christmas jammies to story time at the library this morning. I bought Isabel's jammies before she was born, so I wasn't sure they would fit, but I was pleasantly surprised!

Newborn Isabel

I was looking through old pictures on my phone, and I found lots of pictures from Isabel's early days that I had completely forgotten about. The blog serves as my memory. If the pictures aren't on the blog, it's almost like they don't exist. I know I will want to see these pictures when I look back on Isabel's babyhood, so here they are - only a few months late.

Playtime

Santa!

We saw Santa at a fun Christmas event at the high school this morning. The kids got donuts and made Christmas crafts too. We were the only ones in line to see Santa when we got there, so we got to talk to him for a long time, which was good because Max had five or six detailed drawings of gift ideas to discuss with Santa. Emma was nervous, but she did so well and even told Santa the list that she had been practicing - "baby car seat, baby stroller, and baby doll."

Sitting Practice

Sweet Isabel

We are all more smitten than ever with little Isabel these days. Now she rolls and scoots around every time she's on the floor. She talks to us and plays with her toys, and we just can't get enough. She just discovered her feet this week, so now we have another thing to ooh and ahh over. She is definitely loved!
