Rob sent me a really cool article about a Father's wish for a little girl's Christmas. I found it to be very powerful. You may enjoy it as well. Click HERE if you would like to share.

Here are some recent photos of Suzy for Christmas. Enjoy!

A few pics from Suzy's Second Birthday.

We are so blessed to have such a great small group to do bible studies with. This year, we bought matching pajamas for all the girls and tried to have a "photo session". It was quite hysterical really. The girls (all two) had a blast and Ashley was such a trooper to even try and do some "Ring around the Rosey" to help get them laughing and giggling and such. Here's some pics of our little attempt at a photo shoot. We missed out on one of our little angels, Brenna. She was there in spirit!

I'm such an expert cookie maker now! My Grandma Carolyn would be so proud!

Here's another one of my favorites from our Seattle trip. Not sure how my little "Sleeping Beauty" missed being put on the blog.

I was reviewing some pictures for a Christmas Album gift and realized I had omitted a few fun pictures. Here's Suzy's first haircut. Needless to say, it was a disaster. Not only did she HATE it, the lady cut it off in little 1/4" increments. I'm not sure what part of "I want one of those adorable ringlets" she missed. I kept saying it and she kept telling me, "I'm saving all this hair." Yes, in little 1/4" pieces. I was as upset as Suzy in this photo by the time it was all over. I finally took her to the lady who cuts Rob's hair last week for her "real" first haircut. She gave me a nice ringlet and Suzy did great. Of course, I did bribe her with a sucker that she just licked intently while staring in the mirror while sitting on my lap....

We took a trip to the zoo and Suzy had a blast. She did like the tigers, but was far more interested in just climbing on the sidewalks and barriers. It was a lot of fun and she even got to feed some goats with Daddy.

Suzy gives the best kisses these days. I love these of PaPop and Mommy.

OK, so I'm like the 6th person I know to elf myself. But, it's really too funny not to join in. I hope you enjoy!

Mommy got a new light kit for her camera. So far, this is her favorite shot of me. Later this week, we will work on my Christmas photos and 2 y.o. portraits.
