"Self Portrait" by: Lauren Elise Baier

This little one-year old LOVES her arts and crafts just like her big sisters. She got really caught up in this particular project! Her sisters (while they were all painting) got a glimpse of her and then started belly laughing as they watched her give her own cheeks hand prints! The video of this would have been sweet to share but I was lucky enough to just grab the camera to capture this moment.

The girls shoveled several times because it just kept snowing!  

Ready for church (where the girls got to be angels)

Getting ready for Santa and his reindeer on Christmas Eve

Grandma Katrina - Bailey really wanted to be in on the photo fun!
(Ella wanted to wear a dance costume so she doesn't look too happy here)

Christmas at Grandpa and Grandma Mauk's

We had a great time preparing for the holiday season as well as a very nice Christmas. Larry and I have off with the girls through New Year's Day and are enjoying all the time with our family and friends.

One last Autumn photo before the snow flies...

Love these guys to pieces:)

Happy Halloween from the Baiers!

 Despite the rain, it turned out to be a perfect Halloween. It was a nice warm fall day (about 60 degrees) and the girls really enjoyed being out under umbrellas! We made it all the way around our block for the first year! I think they'll need a little "help" with all that candy:) Happy Halloween!

Getting ready for Halloween

The girls had fun decorating their pumpkins this weekend. (Although they were WAY more excited about their bunk beds!) It was a team effort of Addison and Ella digging the pumpkin seeds out of their pumpkins...Ella mostly let Addison do the dirty work and offered to clean off her hands periodically!
