Trying to Catch Up.

Well, we have fallen very behind on our blog because of a busy end to the year but I'm going to try to catch up because the kiddos love their blog books and I'd like to continue that tradition.   

This winter, we enjoyed some snowy days that involved making snowmen, sledding, hot chocolate and other wintery treats.  On a side note, yesterday I asked Oliver and Adelaide what their favorite season is and they both proclaimed, "winter."  Mine is fall so I was surprised but they clearly enjoy the wintery moments that December, January, and February have to offer.

We went roller skating for the first time and Adelaide really loved it!

We had a wonderful Easter this year...going to church and celebrating with our extended family at Grammi and Dzia Dzia's house.

Every few years, Harborlight Nursery School puts on an art show and this year was one of those times. Each classroom turned into a studio and the fancy evening affair was enjoyed by all.

Some Happenings

The kids spent one afternoon painting and learning about volcanoes.  They then got to see an "explosion" from the volcano and thought it was pretty neat.

We had Grammi over for cupcakes that we made and hot chocolate.

Adelaide is obsessed with a bathing cap.  She insisted on wearing it in the tub.  This is a picture of the funny face she has been making lately.  She scrunches up her nose all silly.

One Sunday project after church involved making t-shirts for the kids.  Adelaide's t-shirt says, "I love Cherry, and Cherry loves me."  Oliver's is a picture of him as Toad from Mario Brothers.  Chris is very creative and did the designing on the computer.

This week, Oliver will officially have 100 days.  It was supposed to be last week, but because of the weather it got delayed.  He made a 100 story skyscraper and it was dropped off to school early last week.  He named it 100 Cove Street Tower in honor of his school.

 We had character dress up day at school.  I went as Camilla Cream from A Bad Case of Stripes.  Fun day!

Holiday Catch Up

Holidays

Here are some more pictures as I continue to catch up.  Oliver and Adelaide loved sitting on Santa's lap.  I'm not sure how many more years they will both enjoy it but it is was really nice to see them so excited.

I made ornaments for Grammi and Dzia Dzia and Nonna and Papa with Oliver and Adelaide's school pictures.

We made a Christmas tree treat out of cones, frosting and M&Ms.

We spent some really fun time with family.

Cali was SO cute after we opened presents at Grammi and Dzia Dzia's house.  She opened her doll from us and then went into the other room and snuggled with it.

We also saw the Sweatman cousins one afternoon.  Really nice to see Grace and Ryan and meet Kate and Hugh.
