Wrapping up 2010

We went to the Fayetteville Square on New Year's Eve to check out the lights one last time. It was COLD...but the girls were in awe of the beautiful trees!

Snow Day!

We are enjoying a snow day today. Scott stayed home this morning before heading to work. Jane lasted about a minute outside. I was MORE than happy to stay in and keep her cozy! Ava on the other hand had big fun sledding down the big hill behind our house. I giggle everytime we bundle her up in her snazzy jazzy 1980's snowsuit. It was an awesome hand me down and keeps her OH so warm!

Definitely Two!

We are pretty smitten with our girlies and love watching them grow with each stage in life! Jane is 26 months and B-U-S-Y!
Jane loves her twinkle toe slippers and sleeps in them most nights....
...she wakes up with the biggest bed head I have ever seen...cute, but messy!
...she has plenty of friends to dream about each night...
...our naked butterfly ballerina...
love that girl!!!

Merry Christmas 2010!

We had a Merry Christmas morning at Mum and Papa's....it was delightful craziness with 10 people! The girls got their much anticipated Pillow Pets....a big thanks to whomever invented these....cute...but bulky and in the "stuffed animal" category. They have been talking about them since September.
