Picture Overload (2012 Edition)

Recently I had Ben download a bunch of pictures from his phone onto my computer. They made me so happy. I love pictures of my family! Here are a few of my favorites from 2012.

OCTOBER

Nayeli with my dad. She adores him. Whenever we go to their house she wants to be held by him. 

It warms my heart because I think my dad is the greatest.

 Halloween party at my Mom and Dad's

Happy Halloween!

I forget how little she used to be. Ben took this after she rolled herself under the dishwasher.

NOVEMBER

Ben took her hiking when the first snow fell

She liked the hiking part...

but she wasn't a fan of being cold

 

In fact, if you'd like to see 20 second video clip from this hiking trip that Ben used in one of his Blade HQ videos, click here. It makes me laugh every time I watch it.

 

DECEMBER

 

Posing with a card Great-grandma Nyla sent

  I sewed our Christmas stockings this year. It was a really fun project.

She does all kinds of things to my computer that it takes me hours to undo.

 

 With Santa! No stranger danger here. She loved him.

Acting out the Nativity. She was a great baby Jesus.

 Christmas morning! She wore the same pajamas Ben wore when he was a baby.

 Another winter hiking trip (but we bundled her up better this time).

 

We put the tree on a table to avoid her tearing it apart. That didn't stop her from trying. 

At least every day I found her like this.

This picture is of Ben and his brother Sam trying to catch a mouse in our apartment. The mouse was too light to set off the trap we'd set by the fridge so Ben was going to drop a marker on the trap while the mouse nibbled the cheese. Sam stood by with a shoe just in case. One of my favorite moments... ever.
