    We don’t normally do Valentine’s Day.ย  Chris and I don’t buy each other elaborate gifts or plan fancy dinners out or exchange big boxes of HFCS-filled candy in the name of Hallmark Valentine’s Day.ย  But this year, we enjoyed celebrating love family-style.ย

    We’re well into January now, the tree is down, and our Christmas decorations have been packed back into the attic for another year.ย  Most people have moved on to resolutions and are maybe even starting to think about Valentine’s Day (or so one might surmise from looking at the grocery store shelves).

    So, Nora got a lot  of Halloween outfits (four), and the funny thing is they are all not quite small enough (she’s still swimming in 0-3 months and wearing newborn-sized).  She wore them anyway and looked really cute in them all!  Here’s three (she’s going to wear the last one tomorrow): P.S.  We realized all…
