Charlotte, Charlotte, Charlotte!

Snoozing in the crack of the couch. Very reminiscent of Alli as a newborn- she spent a lot of time there and that was her onesie too. And then there is of course the same smirky lips.
First bath at home. Her froggy body towel really helps keep her warm and happy!
First smiles at just over 2wks???
Certainly looks like it to me. She will even try to coo a little. I love it!
Snuggling with mommy- her very favorite place to be. I like it just a little too!
"Talking" to Daddy
Snoozing with Daddy on New Years Day. It's already shaping up to be a good year!

Christmas Morning

Opening presents!

My favorite Christmas gift!!
And I think Alli's too!
Now for my attempt at getting a Christmas pic of all 3 kids. I included all the outtakes for your amusement.
I think it's obvious who was giving us the most trouble. Can't remember what his problem was, but he was NOT wanting to cooperate.
Which is why he is not included in this one. Looks like Charlotte was not too happy either.
Now somehow we've convinced him to cooperate but we're getting his goofy fake smile.
Finally somewhat of a success. It would be pushing it to wait for Charlotte to be looking, so this will have to do!

TJ showing off a couple of his favorite gifts.
Alli brushing her ZhuZhu puppy- she likes action shots. The kids spent all afternoon and evening playing with their new toys. It was perfect for keeping them occupied while we adjusted to having a newborn in the house again.
Charlotte sporting her very first set of Christmas PJ's
It was an exciting Christmas that flew by a little too fast, but we felt so blessed to be home celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior as a family.
