Snow family

We haven't had any big storms this year (1 foot or more)so when I hear about how bad it is back east, I get 'snow envy'.  I don't really like the winter but if it is going to be cold, you may as well have as much white stuff as possible to cover all the dead, brown earth.  The kids love playing in the snow when they can and worked on these snowmen.  By dark, Ethan had completed a real snow family.  It makes me smile as soon as I pull out or into the garage they are so cute.  Their eyes wont stay on but the carrots and stick arms work well.  Good thing their heads are protected:)

Ballet sisters

Sophie has started ballet at the same studio where Carissa takes this year. The girls dug out an old leotard that will fit Lily and she even has some tiny shoes.  They tell her to do a 'Nutcracker pose' as they lift her and she sticks her arms and legs out in an awesome pose.  Such fun for them to have each other.
