Win has been into fashion lately.
We thought we’d let him figure out how to use the sewing machine so the he can be on next season of Project Runway.

Win tried to sit on Harriet.
Harriet used her only defense.

My friend, Amy, recommended this children’s Bible to me a month or so ago. It’s great! I loved it so much that I bought it for all of our nieces and nephews. They opened them over Thanksgiving and LOVED the writing and pictures. If you are looking for a gift for a child, check this out. It is refreshing, creative and not at all preachy.The Jesus Storybook Bible
Win dislikes posed pictures more than I do.

Over Thanksgiving we lined up all of the cousins for the traditional cousin lineup picture. It was quite a scene-Win being the worst behaved kid. Getting 10 children 5 and under to sit in a row is no easy task. We lined up all 10 kids but Win refused to cooperate. We even tried to bribe him with the usually off-limits computer mouse, which you can see sitting on the floor. After trying to reason and bribe a tantruming toddler we resorted to brute force. I sat in the lineup and forced Win into position–sort of. Harriet is in this picture. You can see her face under Sarah’s arm. She is wrapped in a brown blanket and kind of looks like a cocoon resting behind Willow, who is crawling away.What you can’t see are the nearly 20 adults who are behind the camera sending encouragement to their children to remain in place.
Cue the snow

This past weekend, while spending Thanksgiving in Detroit with Jared’s family, I took some family pictures of Jared’s brother’s family for their Christmas cards. As we stepped out back for about 15 minutes the sun peeked out from behind the clouds just enough to light up the perfectly falling snow. I love the rim lighting on these.
Jamie and Sarah have been married for almost 6 years. They have a great marriage. A couple of days ago Sarah was telling a story about their honeymoon and remembering how little she knew her husband at that point. She ended her story with, “Boy was I lucky. I don’t think that I really knew who I was marrying but it has worked out really good.” 
Jamie, notoriously averse to cameras, started laughing when Sarah started quoting lines from the office.
Jamie and Sarah have provided 2 cousins for Win and Harriet. Jordan, who is 3, and Stella, who is 2 months older than Harriet.
Isn’t Jordan beautiful?
