pretty in pink and snow boots

More pictures from our Richfield trip.

Brinley looking pretty in pink.

 James loved trying on Uncle Joe's big snow boots.

Snuggle Bug

This little one loves to snuggle.

She also loves to sleep while being held and if you set her down in 5 minutes she is awake(at least for the first month and a half of her life).

Eyelashes

There is no question where the kids get their long eyelashes from.

Aaron taking a nap with Brinley.

What a great Dad Aaron is! We love this handsome guy! 

Chilling at Grandma and Grandpa's House

Chilling at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

 Diaper changes

 Newborn changes are easy peasy compared to toddler.

 Look at that little tongue sticking out.

 So relaxed and comfy.

 Emsley cuddled up to Grandpa.

 Emsley loves playing dress up performing dances.

12-18-12 Snow Day

It snowed while we were in Richfield. We wished we were well enough to play in it. 

 I love this edit on this photo! The first snow our van has had on it since we took ownership. I asked Emsley just now what do you remember about this picture of you. She said, " I remember I wanted to go out in the snow and go on the sled.

Annual Christmas party at Grandma Mairiam's House

Of course there was food, family, and fun. It was so fantastic to see everyone. We had large crock pots of soup: turkey noodle, a cheesy potato chowder, and a taco chili.  My dad made my recipe for homemade bread-sticks, others brought a crisp veggie tray and pumpkin desserts. Just thinking about all the great food makes me want to jump back in time.

I managed to snap a few pics. How did I not get any of our family. James was sick and Brinley was starting to get sick as well. We stayed at my parents house and we exchanged going to Grandma's to visit while one stayed with the sick kids.

 Close up of little peanut. 

She is wearing a teeny flower print gerber kimono shirt with some preemie purple velvet type pants.

This is one of the smallest outfits we have.

 I want to remember how tiny she is.

This is one of the kids favorite activities. Build a fort or house fill it with pillows for make due beds and pack as many toys as you can into it. Look at that organization. I hope she is this organized as a teen. There is Em always in a dress up; she loves them. James is in bed and she is making him breakfast. How sweet.

Sunday December Ninth

Brinley fell asleep while Joni was holding her. Joni thought we needed a picture of her lovely lips.

Our Family all dressed up! Man I love my cute little family. Do you like Aaron's tie style. A guy in our ward and Aaron are trying to start a new fashion.

We snapped one quick picture of these cousins. I wish we had one with all the cousins.

How funny Mckaila with her arm around Em and James trying to get his arm around Josh.

Grandma Sheri Schafer with her ninth grandchild.

One handsome husband and adorable bundle of joy.

Em and James only were able to hold still for one family and one cousin picture. Beautiful Brinley sleeping away could have had her picture taken for an hour.

Random happenings of the day. The big picture is all the Foisy family except Andrea. 

Left bottom picture: Alexandrea, Kevin, Ethan, and Katelyn.

It was so fun to see the kids getting along so well. Here are some of them playing the piano.

James & Josh

Em & Makaila

Making ginger bread houses

The boys enjoyed eating their houses.

Random family pictures I had Aaron take. Can you spot me breast feeding Brinley?

Emsley and Makaila  playing dress-up. Sweet little princesses with sparkling eyes and smiles.

These two were so excited to see each other! 

Brinley listening to her Dad.

Joni, Emsley, and Makaila

The Grand kids were all excited to open up a present from their Grandparents. All the kids enjoyed snuggling up with their christmas pillows and blankets. 

The Schafers all got together for Aurora's Mission Homecomming. Saturday evening we all had dinner together then had a gift exchange.The girls caught up chatting in one of the up stairs bedrooms. Aaron and his Dad watched a movie, and the rest of the boys had a night of computer gaming. The only two we missed were Ammon and Cory who was home sick.

Sunday Aurora spoke in church about her mission in Riverside, CA. After church we headed back to Grandma and Grandpa Schafers to eat lunch and visit.

 I feel so lucky! What a beautiful baby!

 Looking sooo little in her carseat.

 Love all that hair. After washing her hair it goes curly .

 Sweet sleeping baby Brinley.

 Emsley wanted a few pictures with Brinley.
