These admittedly are pretty bad photos. My upstairs camera was so low on battery power it wouldn't flash, but... Nonetheless I snapped Caroline in a sea of pillows. She was 'helping' me change the sheets on the bed.
And apparently that darn camera also blurs photos, too! But how cute is this? Lucy was babbling away in her bed and I caught her peeking over the top at me! 
It's whats for lunch!
And the cheese behind this grin tops the cheese on the nose!
I'm thinking we enjoyed it. Let's just say she became 'one with her food.'
Table food is no match for this girl! She owns it!
Aunt Lori brought Caroline an adorable Christmas gift today. Rick tackles the assembly...
And Lucy tried to help with the assembly while Rick checks the football scores.
As did Caroline. You can see that her Daddy is quite fond of this new project too! Especially when it keeps getting interrupted by one very anxious toddler.
And voila! We have the finished project done by 10:00p.m. We started around 3:30 today...and it's been quite the ordeal to say the least. It's absolutely adorable and Caroline is already having a ball with it. I won't share how many choice words were used in the completion of this lovely gem, but let's just say the Ikea furniture assembly was a piece of cake compared to this. Daddy is earning his stripes big time these days! Thanks, Aunt Lori! We owe you...BIG TIME!
It is a Happy New Year for the Smith's as we celebrate the holidays with family. 
Lucy is all smiles for Grandpa Smith! 
And Caroline enjoys all the extra attention, too!
She loves Brady so much - followed him everywhere and told him where to sit, what to do, what to play,and is still asking about him hours later! She had a blast with him.
A new piano was a hit! She's been dancing ever since!
And Lucy Bug scored herself a Ladybug pillow pet! Too cute!
And the Smith's take on a few rounds of Scrabble Slam - fun times!
As you can see, Brady is being a good sport about following all the directions he's been given today! It was a great time to visit with each other. We must do this more often. My girls just ate up all the attention and had a blast. Happy New Year, everyone! Looking forward to a great 2012!
Here's a random sampling of some recent fun...all in random order apparently, too! 
A quick snapshot of that gorgeous hair! Can't see those scars anymore, and that hair is getting dark- and that head is looking perfectly round. Yay, Lucy!
Time for some playdough fun!
We still prefer to taste our toys.
And we love to sit in the big high chair especially now that we're moving into more solid foods.
Yum!
Another shot of our brunette playing with new toys.
Caroline and Daddy playing around. Come play anytime! There's always fun happening around here.
I'm pretty sure this is the first of many days like this.
But a certain two year old decided she must have her heart shirt, flowered sun hat,
blue jeans, and orange Mickey socks on today. We'll go with it. When you're two, anything works!
December 26th was the first day I saw it. She's decided that rather than crawl on her knees,
We prefer to crawl on the tummy. It's the army crawl and boy is it cute.
It just looks like a heck of a lot of work to me! But the determination in this girl can't be beat.
She is on. the. prowl! You go girl! Knock yourself out!
