Sunday morning happiness

A big thank you to Nani for always sending cute clothes!
Girls are so much fun!

and BOy oh bOY are we excited to have fun with this BOY coming in January!

Ava: 1st day of 2nd grade; Sophia: first day of Kindergarten; Esme: not pleased about it.

I remember when I met Dan I couldn't stop staring at his big bright blue eyes. Now I get to stare at them all day while he is at work.

5 and happy bout it!

Sophia turned 5 this past month. She loves all things nature- here she is at the beach this last weekend and below she is holding one of our baby bunnies. She spends her days outside looking for bugs and taking care of the rabbits. She would be quite happy living on a farm or in a beach house I'm sure.

This girl is one of a kind and we love her.

Christmas in April

Here a few pics from Christmas- Grandma made the girls matching nightgowns- just what mamma ordered. I love simple white cotton nightgowns on little girls! And Grandma did a beautiful job :)

Trampoline was a hit and the snow on Christmas day made it even better.

Maybe I will get to my Easter post in December :)

Stewart

No, not my last name my 3 month old nephew- with a great name I might add.  I was able to go eat him up for a few days...not long enough.  

Yes he smiles this much and yes he's this cute and yes he is already a stud!  

to Aunt Cassie ...

from E, Maren and Neevzies

we love you and miss you and hope you get good presents

This awesome girl turned 7 on December 22.  Oh how we love her so.  Love seeing her grow, develop her talents, teach her sisters, laugh out loud, set a good example, and just be herself.

She's been a bit busy the last few months.  She was recently in a play at the Dallas Childrens Theatre- "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever"  18 performances or something crazy like that-running from November to December.  She was a trooper though and didn't get tired of it once. She had a blast and felt oh so important- I think autograph signing after the show was her favorite part :)

She especially enjoyed having two of her besties in the play with her!
