Another New Year!

I love that we stay in with the kids for New Year's Eve. I can't think of a better way to ring in the new year. Baked some cookies and threw together some snacks, watched the New Year's specials. Leah and Gabriel stayed up all night but Louis fell asleep right before midnight.

Christmas Evening Family Photos

Our second attempt at Christmas Family Photos, all dressed up.

Christmas Morning Family Photos

We attempted to take some family photos this morning of the kids together. The kids all cooperated as best they could. I really love how the photos turned out.

Leah being her silly self as always. Love it!

They love their brother...

And he loves them.

5 point harness for the win

Leah recently went from booster back to 5 point harness car seat and she couldn't be happier. She says it more comfortable and she does understand it is safer. Also it was one of the only ways we could safely fit 2 seats rear-facing plus Leah in the car.

I hear a lot of parents complain about how inconvenient it is to have their kids in one seat or another but for us? Safety comes first. Leah understands this. She's great about it too. She often has to climb over or under one of the other seats to get into her own and she's never complained. As for space? She has plenty. No less than she would if she were in a booster (which she really is not quite big enough for anyway).
