There was no sliding into this winter season, was there?
Holy schmoly! ITS FRIGID!
Snow, ice, sub-zero temps... I realize this is Minnesota, but
c'mon, Already?!!!

A braver soul than I.... she was bound and determined to play outside in "the wonderful sunshine!!!"
Goofy girl! |
Moving on...
We've kept ourselves pretty darn busy, but thankfully have managed to spend some time in the evenings just being together.
It may only be 20 minutes, but I cherish that time.
The girls glow when they have Mom and Dad's undivided attention.
We've been trying to make sure we put the rest of "life" aside for at least a short bit each day,
and give ourselves totally to the girls. Especially with the holidays here, I want to make sure
I take time to enjoy the not-so-busy parts of my family.
Here is a smattering of our recent events!
We celebrated my Stepdad's birthday!
 |
| Happy Birthday Alan! We love you! |
~ We went to visit Santa! It was a miserable day overall, but the Santa portion was enjoyable and the one time the girls were polite and attentive!~
 |
| Listening intently... if only they listened like that to me!! |
~We relaxed
~We decorated our house and got ourselves a tree!
~Mike (our elf) made his way back to our home!
 |
| He was playing a game of Memory with Comet, Rocket the Bear, and Chilly |
~ My sister had a Birthday Saturday... We love you Alex!
~And we've done a little baking. I don't have many photos, but just picture major messes, sticky
hands, sprinkles by the pound... you get the idea!
 |
| Cranberry, pear, and ginger salsa! OMG! |
Now... it's time to clean up. We've got a Preschool Christmas program tonight
and my kitchen currently looks like a bakery exploded. Better get moving!
