New camera!!!!

 (With our old camera) Charlie playing at IKEA.
 Grace at breakfast.
 Alice with her playdoh bracelet, flower, and watch.
 Paul's new iphone for work - our first smartphone ever!
 I found something to keep Charlie warm when we go to the bus stop, but I don't think he likes it much.
 Making caramel apples for Family Home Evening. Paul chopped the candy, and the girls unwrapped the caramels.
 I melted and dipped. Thanks to Sarah for all the supplies!
 They were delicious!
 We got our new camera on Monday night. Thank you SO much, Mom/Dad Gabe! Paul tried it out on me first.
 And I tried it out on him.
 The next morning, bleary-eyed Charlie.
 "It's too bright!"
 "My eyes!"
 "Turn off the flash!"
 Forget it.
 Cute baby.
 Can't get enough of him.
 He knows it.
 Grace pulled out her own tooth!
 Sorry to subject the world to what I can hardly handle myself, but he is painfully cute, isn't he?
 Pretty in plaid.
 Friends!
 Happy!
 There's a reason his cheeks are so fat.
 He loves to eat!
  She bumped her head on the corner of two walls:(
 He loves vegetables!
 Pumpkin princess.
 And prince.
 Paper telescope.
 Finally in a front-facing carseat!
 At the temple visitor's center.
 Watching a church movie.
 Wow. Perfection.
 He fell asleep on the way home - missed his morning nap.
 Sucker time!
 Whoa, seriously blue teeth.
 I love that smile!
 Grace wanted to try taking a picture.
 Cute sisters. (Not sure why it's sideways.)
 Close-up.
 Charlie.
 Ready for church.
Our cute kids.
