It's January in Cleveland! We're in the middle of a snow storm here and having a good time with it. I was supposed to go on a temple trip today down in Columbus with the youth but it was cancelled, so instead we made chocolate chip cookies, played in the snow, and Chase shoveled. The other day I told Chase I am so ready for summer, and we have months left of snow, so I'm sucking it up and just embracing it. I'm going to be brainstorming as much as my brain will allow for things to do in the snow, or fun things to do inside. Let me know if you have any great ideas! Tyler just came downstairs to tell Halle that they are headed out again to play for the second time , and Chase is headed out to shovel for the third time! Halle opted out this time to watch Barbie and the Diamond Castle...she loves that movie:)
How many times have I said "Don't eat the snow, it's gross!"
Halle is so coordinated with her snow attire, whatever works right? Can you even see big girl?

Chase just shoveling away, what a guy!
Making snow angels. You can't tell from the pic but snow was coming down pretty good, it was deep, and getting in their faces but I still think they had fun:)
Sleeping soundly after all of the torture:)
Sophie with her fists ready to throw a punch:) She always has her fists balled up like this shoving them into her mouth.
Sophie is now 2 months old. She weighed in at 10 lbs. 8 oz. She is growing way too fast! She gives sweet smiles, mostly after being fed. I tried to get a smile on camera but was unsuccessful, her fists were too yummy:)
Here is a chubalicious picture of Sophie at 1 month old. She weighs 9 lbs. 9 oz. now and is 21.5 inches long. Those cheeks are getting a lot of love these days:)
All of the kiddos before church. I wanted to take a picture of the whole family but we didn't have time to set it up, and I was frantically running around trying to find my nylons:) Tyler and Halle have been a big help with the baby, they love her so much!
Sophie and Grandma Pearson. We were so lucky to have grandma visit us in Cleveland. She was amazing, magical really, I would wake up and the laundry would be missing from everyones hamper and then it would magically appear all folded on my bed:) We appreciate all that you did for us while you were here and can't wait to see you in December!!!!
Our family of 5!

Happy Birthday Sweet girl! We love you so much! Halle loves birthdays so much, and hers just happens to fall right on Christmas day. She thinks that sharing her birthday with the birth of Jesus is so special, that will probably change someday, but we hope to always make it a special day for her. She loves birthdays so much and couldn't wait for hers. For the last 3 weeks the bedtime song of choice was "Happy birthday" and when we would get to the "dear Halle" part she would get a huge grin on her face. We are thankful that we have friends that wanted to party with us on Christmas evening, it meant a lot to us and especially Halle. She loved her castle cake (ha ha the joke between Chase and I was that it looked like a project that my nieces Brianna age 8 and Emily age 6 would have done a better job at:) Halle got a Cinderella scooter to cruise on when the weather warms up. I can't believe you are three years old Halle and such a big girl, could you slow down on the growing up??? please!
