2 days after Christmas, Tess turned four. Grandma and Grandpa came, we went and saw Frozen, dinner at Cafe Hollander (her pick), presents, and rainbow cake and chocolate ice cream, that she
picked, but then decided she didn't actually like. Without trying it. She told me at one point that she
was having a "beautiful birthday." 

Beautiful kid.

Tess, last month as a three year old.

the victor!

sara decided to choose the busiest month of the year to start catapulting out of her crib. makes for lots
of car catnaps.

I like this shot. Mama and Daddy both taking pictures, and the girls don't know who to look at. I 
imagine they will remember these group shots as part of their childhood. This was taken right 
before we headed to their school Christmas concert.

all Erin wants for Christmas.......
I, on the other hand, could look at that gappy little grin forever.
