A New Year

 Opening more Christmas cards.

 I really enjoy Christmas cards and really think they are my favorite thing about Christmas. Especially now that everyone is so far away and I love to hear from so many people I miss so much but can't keep in touch with often. Carlie was excited to open Uncle Jay and Aunt Roseanna's Card.

 So Daddy let her open it.

 A special little card for Carlie Jane herself.

 Yay! Build A Bear!

 Can you see all the help I had taking down the Christmas decorations?

 Carlie loves to see what is cooking in the oven.

 A cool evening grocery shopping trip.
I love the new coat Leah sent her for Christmas. It makes her look so big to me.

 New mittens made by Auntie Rachel! 

 They don't clap very well.


 Did I mention we have been trying fabric diapers?
This is about half of them.
They work pretty good but sometimes have a little trouble with making them
last through the night.
