Where are the girls??

Hiding from Mommy during a game of chase...and Daddy helped put them where I couldn't find them!

Our Valentine's decorations

Happy Valentine's morning chocolate chip pancakes

Happy 3rd Birthday!

I can't believe our baby is 3! Elizabeth wanted a little party at our house with "all of my friends" so we invited 11 kids from the neighborhood to come over to play and have cupcakes. We made a little cake for her with the Ariel candle that she wanted and the other kids had baby cupcakes with lots of pink frosting and sprinkles! It's fun that her birthday is so close to Valentine's (and that she is a girl) so that we can use lots of pink in the decorations!

Here are the girls from the party including the newborn baby girl that we have started to babysit 3 mornings a week! It is fun to have a baby around...she is REALLY good and the girls like holding her!

What a sweet three year old! We love you so much and we couldn't be more proud of you. You are such a sweet sister with Ali, you love to play with the Mouse House, play with Ty Ty, read books, and give lots of hugs!

Thank you Nana for coming all the way here to celebrate!! We love you!

Neighborhood Bowling Outing

We went to a local totally OLD SCHOOL Bowling Alley with some neighbor families...it was really cute! Ali finished all 10 frames...Elizabeth did a few and then really enjoyed running down through the lanes! The bumpers helped the kids have a good time.

Snow day Activities

One day I came upstairs when the girls were playing by themselves for a while and I found them in their sleeping bags on Ali's bed pretending to nap. They haven't taken naps in SO long...but it was cute that they still remembered that SOME people take naps! :)

Here is Daddy being captured and tied up by the princesses.

The girls created their own new MOUSE HOUSE for all their little critters. Quite a tower! It kept falling down but Ali would just rebuild it. "I'll fix it for you Lizzie!"

Snow-pocalypse

There was 2-3 inches of ice on the trampoline! Chris broke it up and threw it off and then the girls jumped on it in their snow suits!

We had several snow storms and ice...it was a lot for this area but I couldn't believe that Ali's school has had like 7 snow days so far this year! When I taught school in Denver we didn't have ANY for several years!

Happy 100th Day of Kindergarten

Elizabeth got to attend Ali's 100th Day celebration...it was a rodeo theme and it was so cute! I love being in Ali's classroom...I remember all of the neat things I got to do as a teacher and I get excited that one day I'll go back to work!

The 2 kindergarten teachers...I think Ali is very happy in her class and that makes me really happy!

I was so happy that Ali really WANTS Elizabeth to come to her school parties and treats her SO well (shares her snack, helps her with activities, leads her around)...we couldn't ask for a better big sister!
