The kids look adorable in their holiday outfits this year! Rosemary and Elliott love to dress up and brim with excitment when they wear "special" clothes. Alina is proud to say each outfit was a hand-me-down from a friend or family member.
In fact, Gretchen has a selection of 5 or 6 hand-me-down holiday outfits. She is one lucky girl.
Rosemary loves her Christmas Dress so much. Sometimes she is al ittle shy for the camera but if you see her wearing this dress she will happily twirl and show off the pretty fabric.
These photos were snapped in the morning as Alina gets ready for work. The kids eat snacks in the morning out of their Snack Traps. Steve leaves the snacks and water bottles in the hallway each morning around 5:15am before he leaves for work. The kids wake up around 6:30 or 7am every day... including the weekends. We try to leave the house by 7:30am at the latest.
Elliott has been warming up to the Big Brother role lately. He will now be purposefully goofy and playful around Gretchen in order to make her smile. We can ask him to "keep an eye on Gretchen" while we grab something out of a drawer or another room. Elliott takes his role as Guard very seriously.
"Mom, She's kicking her legs!"
"Mom, She grabbed my finger!"
"Mom... Mom... MOM... she has SPIT UP!!!!"
