One of these days...one of these days we will learn to do ALL our family photo shoots in the summer. When the sun is out. And we aren't freezing. One of these days. Today, however, was not that day. We decided to make a book of grand kid photos for Annette/Gramma on her birthday this year. Sounds easy enough, right? My sister did a great job of capturing their little personalities, and I'm sure Annette will cherish the photos for years to come.
Spent time with my sweet nephew yesterday...flashbacks to my little man! The drool, the love of food, the squishy cheeks, the drool, the sweet smiles, those chubby little hands, the drool.... He is so similar to Noah in a lot of ways, but he's got his own personality for sure. His smile lights up a room! I'm not sure I could ever have a bad day being around that little guy. I was looking back through photos of Noah at this age and stumbled upon this gem. These two really do share a common love...for food!!!!!! Noah's reaction when he realized the mashed potatoes were "all gone." And then again when offered more food. Oh my. I mean...look at these two cuties!!
This is one of my favorite traditions. We've been taking Ava to see the Nordstrom Seattle Santa since she was a baby. Last year Lucy....well....she wasn't a fan. We were all a little worried, but to our pleasant surprise she did GREAT! She sat on his lap and looked over at all of us and exclaimed "I'm not crying!" Oh how we love that Lucy girl. The traditional pre-Santa pictures were cut short this year because the wait was only 10 minutes! What?! Call me crazy....but I kind of missed the wait. It was really strange zipping right in and getting to our turn so quickly. But, here are a few fun "waiting" moments.
