our long weekend.

a lazy rainy friday at home... while g worked from home in the basement.

dinner out with nana & grant. love these sweet sister moments.

ready for some purdue basketball! millie really loves going to the games... and loves getting to be a cheerleader.

thanks for taking us nana!

i think that these were a size 22... and they belong to the guy next to millie in the next picture- haas, who is 7'2".

caroline did great during the game considering it was a tight space for a 18month old... she may have enjoyed a bit of coke to keep her content in the end- with about 5minutes to go in the game i took her out to run around, which she loved.

sunday christmas shopping at the mall... shopping with two littles is hard, but it was a successful trip.

my parents happened to be at the mall at the same time... millie wanted gramps to "come & see" the animals. both girls got one. thanks gramps! now they have pets to play with for the next few days. caroline chose a dog & millie chose a horse.

and the christmas season begins...

thanksgiving.

a slow morning at home. lunch at grams & gramps' with chris & jess, great-grandma, nana, & grant... papa is in new zealand/australia. tv & afternoon naps. and some "black friday" shopping on thursday evening.

preschool. year two. week twelve.

her monday creation.

a little pilgrim girl. and her wednesday creation.

our short week.

a perfect spot to enjoy a pack of smarties.

brent & allie are back in lafayette visiting family this week... it was great to catch up with them & meet cohen.

when i asked to take caroline's photo... she walked towards me, stopped, and held her hands together.

grant & chuck are back for a visit!

our snowy weekend.

thanks to grams & gramps for buying snow gear & bringing it over... mama wasn't prepared for this winter yet.

ugh. i wish we had a mudroom...

when caroline woke up from her nap, g & millie went back outside with her!

i was in & out of the house... taking pictures & helping with the snowmen outside and putting up the tree inside.

lunch out with nana after church.

they couldn't wait to get their snow boots on when we got home...

moments later she discovered the puddles & soaked herself.

preschool. year two. week eleven.

her monday creation.

tillie the turkey came to visit busy day.

bouncing bunny & winter moon... her little friend georgie is only going to be at her school for one more week. she is switching schools, and millie is going to be so bummed!
