FIFTY-TWO

This sweet photo of Theodore is my favorite. He looks like such a grown up baby! Also, it's always nice to periodically have a photo of yourself and your child at the same time. 

 2015 week fifty-two

I don't think my math was off, but regardless of this being the fifty-second post of this year, we still have one more week.

On Christmas Eve V got to open one present, and wow did she pick a good one. Thank you to my friend Sushma for the most perfect dress a toddler could ask for! She kept calling this her "real proper Cinderbrella dress." Yes. Cinderbrella like a tool a chimney sweep would utilize. And yes, we were in bare feet and short sleeves all week. 

Merry Christmas morning. Only the Cole brothers were together this Christmas. But it was a perfectly relaxed and enjoyable holiday. 

But no matter how nice this Christmas was to me, it was showing off in all it's glory to V. So many princess dresses and capes and headbands and a pop up Frozen tent. It was all a dream to her. She's been snuggling in her new sleeping bag in her "Princess Castle" ever since and begging everyone to join her inside.  Also she wore this outfit for 3 days straight taking a break only for pjs at night. And speaking of night! Theodore gave me a lovely Christmas present of sleeping 8 straight hours. Naturally I wasn't asleep for that long, but I got a 5 hour stretch! Hooray! Just like his Papa, he knows how to give perfect gifts.

"Mama, Jacom is wearing weird pajamas!" Farewell off to college for this brother. And with style like this he'll be a grand catch up in Idaho. 

Theodore 2 months

Veronica 2 months. They are absolutely related.
