We have tons of snow at our new house. We are high enough on the mountain that it does not melt quickly. Elli loves to play and make "cakes" of snow in her buckets.
Dad shoveling in his winter gear.
Nora loves her baths. We need to move her off the counter though because she splashes everywhere!! I am soaked by the end.
Nora at 5 months old. Lots of smiles. We no longer call her "Cranky Nora" and she is doing so much better now that the colic seems to have resolved.
Cute sisters.

Grandma Paula stayed over with us
Uncle Nicky - Alex's younger but bigger brother
Family pajama time
A new car. Yes...Alex picked it out. I voted for the pink jeep but he wanted the Range Rover. She loves it. Baby Kate even got a carseat to ride with her until Nora is big enough.
My sweet girls. I love them so much. Elli loves and adores Nora too. She wants to touch and hug her all the time.
Merry Christmas Mom and Dad
