Gymnastics at home!

 When the snow is coming down like crazy and we decide to stay home for the day...we make our own gymnastics class!

 Of course it's good exercise to step over princesses!

Good work Lydia!

6 months old!

Karisa is 6 months old!

She's started eating puffs...Lydia thought the puff stuck on her chin was hilarious!

She has her 2 bottom teeth trying to poke through.

She sleeps through the night and we're down to a morning and afternoon nap.

We can't get enough of her smiles and giggles.

Karisa lights up our world!

It's still snowing...

Last day of January and...more snow!

 Snowy days are good for snuggling...actually any day is.  Time is slipping by and my days of baby snuggles are limited.  Sigh.

Basketball time for Eliza!

Eliza played basketball again this year.  It's so much fun to watch her play!  She's smiling the whole time and really enjoys herself.  She made a lot of improvement this year!  Way to go Eliza!

Dates with dad...

Daddy/Daughter dates!

 Lydia and daddy went out for ice cream together!

 Dad and Talia went to McDonalds for breakfast and then roller skating!  Talia thought this picture was of daddy was pretty funny!

 Go daddy and Tal!

My girls...

Eliza and I went on a mother/daughter date...but this was the only picture we took!  We got pedicures and ice cream at Yogurt Beach.  Always fun to spend time with my sweet girl!

 Talia was busy at home making yummy treats with her Easy Bake oven!

 I kind of really love being home with these two...they're too sweet!  But growing up way, way to fast!

Ice day...

And since we've had so many snow days why not add an ice day?

Freezing rain on top of all our snow made for some icy cement and crunchy snow!

 Lydia needed assistance to slide around the driveway.

 Taking off chunks of ice and finding soft snow underneath!

More snow...

More playing in the snow...

Sunny snow day...

One of the days the girls actually went to school!

It was delayed so Lydia and I walked with them to the bus.  Had to get a few pictures.  Sure was beautiful in the sun!

 And then a day with frost...

Snow day...

Another snow day...

 Snow drift outside the window.

 We made snow ice cream!!!  Had to change it up a little...we ate A LOT of snow cones!

 Darran shoveling our driveway with the lawn mower.  We had a massive amount of snow and that snow blade was worth the money!

Snuggling up with a snow cone!
