Baby Anabelle is loved.

 Daddy's girl.

 A snuggle from Sarah.

 Coolest booties from Auntie Anna!

 Anabelle loves her brothers!

 Pacing the house with a sleepy Belle.

 Malachi loved when Anabelle would dress up in her Bears cheerleading outfit and he would wear his Bears football jersey and helmet and play football.  A glimpse into the future? Perhaps.

More December Happenings...

 Anabelle gets sufficient love at our home -- especially from her brothers.

 A present from Uncle Padraig

 Love from Daddy...

 Micah, reading chapter books.  What a smarty-pants.

 Mathias' third birthday!

 He spent his birthday with his best friend and brother, Malachi.

 Gingerbread house decorating tradition.

 Christmas cookies!!

 They really are each others' best friends. Makes a mom's heart soar.

 Micah ran the snow blower a few times this year!  What a big boy he's becoming!

 Our good friends left for Thailand in early January.  We made sure to spend extra extra time with them before they left.

 

 Anabelle, practicing her smiles.

 More smiles!

 Running errands with mommy can sure tucker a sweet baby out.
