NYE...old people style

NYE "old people" style includes:

1. not really going out because the roads were bad, so then staying in for some drinks

2. wearing pajamas

3. not really taking any pictures and then saying, "We should take a picture"
It was also funny because as we were watching the countdown, Joey said, "should we be standing?" We all kind of looked at each other and stood up :-)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

the library

Juliette and I went to visit the library that is just up the street from us. I hate to admit that I had never taken her there, but I wanted her to be old enough and for it to not be crowded :-) We had a nice little time...

reaching for the puzzle

she got into the chair herself

we're working on dropping the morning nap...it's a work in progress

making some friends

Kleoppel Visit

The day after Christmas we headed over to visit our friends Laney and Lucy (and their parents Andrea and Ben). We haven't seen them in a long time so it was really nice to get together!

not in the mood to take a pic...

but if mommy was in it, she was fine :-)

Christmas Day

Christmas was so much fun this year! It was super fun to watch her open presents and kind of understand what was going on around her! She was also SUPER funny in the morning...loved it! We spent the morning at home in our matching pants and around noon my parents and B&K stopped by to exchange gifts. After nap we headed to the Davern's for dinner and more gifts. Juliette was spoiled by all!

Christmas Eve

We woke up Christmas Eve and brough Juliette to the mall to see Santa. From far away, she loved him...up close, not so much... After Santa we had to stop at Target and she konked out in the car. We've recently dropped the morning nap, but sometimes it sneaks back in, or a cap nap creeps in around 11, if we're in the car! At night we headed to my aunt and uncle's for dinner, but the late start was not all that great for Juliette. It was nice that it was close so that Joey could bring her home for bedtime!

checking out Santa

ehhh, not so much...

all tuckered out ready to go!

this is probably the best picture i have of her dress...

Fun in a Box

Every kid loves a box :-) ahhhhhhhhh!

hehehe

so much fun!

Christmas Card

Here are the outtakes from the first round (two rounds, but same outfit) of pictures I tried to take for our Christmas card. It's funny, last year I literally took 6 pics, used 3 ,and it was perfect. This year it was 4 attempts over 4 days and probably 50 pics...here are a few...
