Friends and Flowers!

We were all craving a little spring so today we met up with our friends Jonas and Lily at the Conservatory.

We had to feed the fish!

It was so nice to run around without a coat and breathe some humid air! It did activate Mom's travel bug though!

Look we match! It was unintentional, Claire dressed herself while I dressed Sarah.

This was Sarah's first outing without the backup of a stroller. She usually would much rather ride and suck her thumb than walk, but I guess we are all craving a little spring. Today she was happy to follow Claire's lead.

If you have any doubt's about what Mom would like for Valentine's - she said this would be a good hint. We had a great time with our friends - see you all again soon!

Winter Fun

Oh Baby it's cold outside and we love it! Must be the Canadian blood eh? We had a little snow so Dad set up a little slide for us to enjoy.

We made a cool snowman named 'candy cane'

And had a snowball fight!

We had no coal, so we used olives for eyes and a mouth. Yummy!

I love him!

Below are a few videos of our sliding adventures. Maybe the parents will finally get around to building us a playcenter soon!

Obama!

Give me an O!

We recently had a celebration at our house. President Obama took office and mom decided we should watch and learn a little about this historic day.

In the morning we made 'Bye Bye Bush' muffins, then we watched the ceremony. Two thumbs up from me!

Snowboarding 101

It was a great winter day today so when playing outside Dad decided to let us try his snowboard. We are naturals and loved it immediately.

We each took turns gliding down the front yard slope and even did it with no hands.

Claire had her balance down and even discovered that by rocking back and forth she could make herself move.

Yipee....Can I have my own board dad?

Just my size. There were tears when we had to go in so Dad promised us more snowboard lessons soon.

Sarah's First Gymnastics Class

After months of watching my sister at gymnastics class it is finally my turn! I was so excited for my first class - it's all about me!

I wasn't afraid to do anything - not even the big beam. Just walked right across.

Little beams, no problem.

I can hope and jump like a pro. Miss Terry, my teacher said she has never seen a two year old walk up the wall to a handstand position like me before!

Ta-Da! I am exhausted, but can't wait until next week's class!

Happy 2nd Birthday Sarah!

This weekend we had a little birthday party for Sarah who is turning 2! Since we will be away and traveling over the holidays we decided to host it a little early.

Ready for my party!

Sarah is getting very good at opening presents and kept asking for another one. Christmas is going to be fun this year!

After decorating cupcakes, I just couldn't wait to eat one.

Mmmm, sugar. I had enough sugar to keep me up 1.5 hours after my bedtime!

My newest friend baby Lily made it to her first party.

My friends McKenna, Kara, Aidan and Claire had a great time playing balloon volcano. I had a great party - thanks everyone!

Santa!

While on a little outing today we happened to run into Santa and his reindeer. Comet and Cupid brought Santa down from the North Pole to visit the kids in Columbus. Geez, was I excited! Of course, this wasn't planned and mom only had her cell phone camera so quality is a little below standard.


They had a little trolley train where we could go for a ride with Santa, Scooby Doo and Clifford the Big Red Dog. I reinforced my Christmas requests for Santa and even added a new one much to my mom's dismay.



Santa also wished Sarah a Happy Birthday and she told him what she wanted for Christmas. She wasn't shy at all - even showing off her Santa tattoo!



What an awesome little adventure! See you soon Santa!
