We have made it to 2021! Although we aren't naive enough to believe that the New Year completely clears out the insanity of 2020, we have hope on the horizon. We've been thankful to come a full year happy and healthy and (mostly) sane. We're crossing our fingers we can stay the same this year!
December ended with us enjoying Christmas and with Little Sweetie and I headed up to Utah for some skiing!
Loved walking around a giant gingerbread village!
Christmas cookie time!
Santa surprised us with a quick stopover on Christmas Eve! We better hurry and get to bed!
Cookies are out for when Santa comes overnight!
Santa came!
Very excited to check out what's under the tree!
Excited to tear into her gifts! (Note Chesney in the pictures...the pup gave us quite a scare going into the holidays, but he pulled off a Christmas miracle and has lived to see 2021.)
Helping Big Brother with his presents!
Trying out her new coding bot!
Two happy Christmas kiddos!
Now, our big Christmas fun was supposed to be a family trip to see Uncle M and Aunt S in Utah. But with COVID and keeping Big Brother safe and helping our recuperating old dog stay alive, it was decided that Daddy and Big Brother would stay home and Little Sweetie and I would go.
Ready to go to Utah with her new suitcase!
Here we go!
A great time on the slopes!
God-sibling bonding time was so sweet!
And I loved having such special time with my girl!
Ready to head home!
Happy to be home with our boys!
Celebrating our New Year at Noon!
Besides all of our holiday fun, we've kept busy with our usual pandemic activities...cooking, running, and playing outside!
Creamy vegetable soup!
Hot chocolate cookies!
Funny face pizzas!
Run training time!
Crazy static hair from playground time!
Fun at the zoo!
Sibling snuggles post zoo...love these two!
Height and Weight
Little Sister is strong and brave and fantastic at 52 pounds and 47.5 inches.
Everything about this girl is perfect to us.
Personality
She is spunky and fun and maturing right before our eyes. She can get her feelings hurt very easily as she navigates her boundaries, but she's doing amazing at working through them with us.
Teeth lost and growing in! Every day she's changing and growing.
Developmental Milestones
The big news this month was that someone finally was brave enough to let me change her earrings! Wooo!
Such a big girl!
Fun Tidbits
It's been fun this month watching Little Sweetie find and take on parts of Momma's life.
Wearing Momma's Brownie sash and her Chi O legacy shirt (bought when she was an infant) now fits!
We've had a fun start to the year and hoping it continues!
Looking forward to more adventures,
LSM
Little Sweetie's Momma
