Snowmen on new years day

We are continuing our run of fun on New Year's day! What could be more fun than snowmen! The girls got pretty creative and I had fun providing random decorative accessories to embelish and personalize the snowmen:) Every snowwoman needs a purse! It has been a great day with my girls, I am quite lucky!!!

New Years Eve

Kete and Lindsay were generous enough to invite the girls and I to spend the evening with them at Dave and Kathy's. We had such a great night. Fabulous food, games, great company, what more could one ask for? The girls even stayed up until 12:30! Craziness, but it was worth it!!!

Christmas party

As always, we had a great time at the annual Christmas party. Macy, Gretchen and Bella all entertained us with a piano piece they had learned and then we had the pleasure of Kete entertaining us with a rendition of Rudolph on the accordian (it was really the highlight of the evening). Then it was present time! The kids were all great taking turns, and getting hints as to what they would each receive. As always, they were spoiled but their favorite gift was their new sleeping bags. All the kids were so excited they immediatly took them downstairs and pretended they were camping. I love their creativity. Bella and Hannah have slept in their sleeping bags almost every night since, preferably in front of the fireplace so they could stay extra warm!

Skating beauties

The ladies and I had a date night together and hit the ice skating rink. Bella was a show off and skated the entire time by herself (even around the rink several times while I was with Hannah) and Hannah skated by herself for the first time! We had so much fun and need to add this to our regular repertoire!
