January Snow







It's back! The snow has almost all melted now, but it was fun to see this morning. I didn't go to preschool, so we enjoyed a long day at home, which included singing "Jingle Bells" with Daddy, watching Kung Fu Panda, and taking all of our clothes off numerous times.

Celebrate! & Mommy


Mommy used to be a Creative Memories Consultant, but this was her first year going to a large Creative Memories event. There were over 1600 scrapbookers there! She and Heather just had their birthdays, so this was their birthday girlfriend fun with LaSandra, too. Mommy completed 12 pages, did some fun make 'n takes, attended a couple of short classes, looked at idea pages, got a 10 minute massage, and had fun working on our 2008 family album.

Closer to her birthday, Daddy got her roses, came home early from work so Mommy could go get an hour massage, and then they went out to dinner and a movie while Heather babysat us. They saw the movie "Australia" and thought it was really good.

Fun with Emily





We love having Emily visit! She is so much fun and a huge help to Mommy. The twins got Mickey Mouse balloons at the mall after Friends and Fun Club, and Emily gave me one after preschool, too.

Ra, ra, ra for Rocket





Cousin Zoey loves Rocket from the Disney cartoon Little Einsteins. She brought her stuffed Rocket over when my mommy watched her this morning. For the most part, Ben, Gav, and Zoey did a good job of sharing Rocket, mostly because Zoey became more interested in collecting all of the zebras and giraffes she could find around our house. (And because I left for preschool shortly before she arrived and wasn't around to take Rocket away from one 2 year old to give it to the other, trying to help out, but making the issue worse.)

There's just something about giraffes that we kids like. (At least in our family.) Ben and Gavin play with the giraffes more than any other animal. Once, since Gavin took all of the plastic giraffes into the car with him, Ben insisted on taking the big stuffed one. We could barely see Ben's head during the car ride.

Daddy Practice





Gavin and Ben love their babies. They love doing "boy" stuff, but they sure love practicing to be good daddies. We have such a terrific daddy that changes diapers, gives us lots of hugs and kisses, and takes good care of all of us doing much, much more, so we want to be just like him!

TV cabinet hideout



Mommy came home to a big surprise tonight! We were all hiding/playing inside our TV cabinet! She is now thinking the lock needs to be fixed on it . . .
