My Belle

Would you believe Josie assembled this outfit herself for our trip to the grocery store? You may not be able to tell, but those are pink velour pants under the dress and the shoes are on the wrong feet. She's SO into costumes right now. Hence the request to wear the Belle dress to the store.

Miscellaneous January

Josie loves to lay down in the bath. I think she likes the way things (like her own voice) sound while she's under water.

Brush Teeth

Almost any time one of us stands in front of the bathroom sink, Silas comes in begging to "buush teeth." So, I got him a toothbrush and now he brushes his teeth (all six of them) with Josie. He even likes to use "poothpaste." Unfortunately these pictures are blurry, but I think the gist of the cuteness comes through.

As you can see he really gets into it.

Merry Christmas!

I didn't get very many Christmas pictures. But here are a couple. This is Christmas Eve. They move too much, this is the best shot I could get.

My Favorite Tree

Here's our tree all decked out. I was less perfectionistic about our tree than I've been in years past but I love it because I feel like it has more meaning and represents the love and joy that kids bring to our home.
