I feel guilty that we didn’t post anything about Christmas. We had a fun Christmas. We just didn’t take many pictures. And I usually use pictures to inspire my posts. Thus, I’m feeling very uninspired.
Hmm.
I guess I’ll just upload what we have and you can peruse at your leisure.
Happy New Year!

I loved watching Brooke play with the nativity. There was something profound about the way she would arrange the figures–everyone focused on the baby Jesus. Everyone including a rubber ducky.
And what’s this? A lone sheep gone astray. Find your way back to the fold!
A few days ago we got a ton of snow, so we bundled up the babies and had some fun!
Note the carrot in my hand.
We told Brooke we were going to play in the snow. She asked if we could make a snowman. We agreed. She immediately went to the fridge for a carrot and then ran off in search of a snowman hat.
We had a fun Thanksgiving. Of course, the best part was being with family. Unfortunately, we didn’t take many pictures, but we did take a few of our girls with their cousins.
In this picture, Caroline (on the right) is next to her cousin, Adeline. Adeline is about three months younger than Caroline. We put them next to each other for a size comparison. Generally, Caroline is the smallest baby around because she’s only five months old. Seeing her next to an even smaller baby completely shocked me. She looked so big and chubby! This picture doesn’t do it justice. Dallas was more on the side of Adeline, so the perspective is off.
Below are more pictures highlighting a wonky perspective. These pictures feature Brooke and Caroline with my brother’s kids. We weren’t expecting them for Thanksgiving, but my Mom found a sneaky way to get them to come at the last minute.
All weekend, we talked about getting the kids together for a cousins picture. This was the best we could do. Brooke insisted on sitting in a chair. Right in the middle of all the kids. And right in front. This makes her look like a giantess from the land of Brobdingnag.
To give you the proper perspective, Natalie (the one holding Caroline) is almost 7, Emma is almost 5, and Luke just turned 2. Brooke is 2 1/2.
My Mom and I laughed over these pictures until we were crying.
