Excitement

Lets hear it for new PJ's that are matching!

Oh yeah.

Snow Day!

Friday we had a snow day and the girls couldn't have been more excited!
The first thing they wanted to do was to go get in the snow.

They did a little sledding and then went to meet up with some friends

who took them to build forts, make an avalanche and more sledding 

After they came home we brought in the scooters

and I laid down some bubble wrap so they could ride their

scooters over it.

It sounded like fire crackers going off.

Grace got creative with the scooter

We also used it as a stage

a runway

and for gymnastics

Isabel did the crab walk

(way to participate Bel!)

We drew on the windows with window markers

 rocked out to some music

and through it all, Scooby was a very good boy.

He got groomed by the way.

Doesn't he look all handsome?

Hope you had a great weekend!



Christmas 2011, part two

Over New Years, we went to Nebraska to attend Travis and Kirsten's wedding and celebrate our family Christmas.

The wedding was beautiful and thoughtful,

and full of family and friends

~ ~ ~

and then it was time for presents...

                                                           and wrestling with Uncle Monte...

and Uncle Mark... 

Warren was there too.

Ahhh...

I apparently did not get any pictures of Grandma and Grandpa.

Darn it!

Next time.

A few photos from our Christmas.

Christmas game

more games, played with guests

Grace asked for a vintage typewriter.

Very cool.

Isabel wanted a guitar

(a little large, but it works)

Scooby got a life-size bone

Christmas socks

Grace typed a story out and then

sang it to me.

Still more Christmas shopping

Ahh.  The beloved present received - twice!

How nice.

Hope your Holidays were filled with love.
