A year of outfits! This is an embarrassing number of selfies. Also, I still can’t spell embarrassing correctly without spell check.

I am always so late posting these trips to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I am down to the wire posting this in 2014, but better late than never!

But, Mere met us super early on a weekday morning, before the museum’s opening, so we could at least let H run around without crowds for an hour or so.

These are my favorite photos yet.

The tiny boss lady picked all the paper this year. She is very decisive, and her aesthetics align right with her mom’s.
