Hi folks! We hope you’re enjoying the last bit of 2015. We know it’s been a quiet year on the blog, namely a result of our exhaustion, combined with Alexandra’s general dislike of having her picture taken.

However, when we spent the weekend in Colorado in October (meeting up with Ian’s family to celebrate his parents’ 40th wedding anniversary), our very generous sister Sarah rounded us all up for a family photoshoot and Alex LOVED the photographer. (If you’re ever in Denver, we highly recommend Swinson Studios.) Here are a few of us and Miss A.

Also, for those of you who’ve asked, Alex is currently 3’4″ tall, weighs 38 pounds and exclusively wears dresses these days.

This one didn’t make the cut for the Christmas card but it’s a classic family pic.

Yes, she really is that cute.

Look! We showered and put on clean clothes! (Lara’s even wearing makeup!)

Possibly my favorite picture ever.

Bonus pic: Alexandra after viewing her first ballet performance, the Nutcracker “Sweet” (a 45-minute, preschooler-friendly event).
