So much fun...

Sledding 2013

 

These pictures put a huge smile on my face.  We had an amazing time sledding the other weekend.  The weather was perfect, the neighbor elementary hill (that I grew up sledding on) was empty, and we ALL had a blast doing this simple activity.  Who knew sledding was so much fun even as an adult?!  The g-rents bought sleds awhile back in preparation for the perfect day, and perfect it was!!!  "The good life," that's where I'm at, and good is an understatement:)

1st time at the movie theater...

We were home in Omaha the other weekend so  I checked amoms website and saw free movies for families at one of our local theaters up the street.  They were showing Madagascar 3.  We haven't really advanced to "big girl" movies yet but we decided to try it out anyway.  If nothing else it's free so we can leave if it gets too scary or too long.  We grabbed some popcorn and slushies and enjoyed an hour of the experience.  The theater was packed with kids and families.  Liv LOVED the popcorn and nearly ate the entire bag.  With the credits being so long they started to get antsy at the one hour mark.  There was also a scary animal control lady that Harper wasn't a fan of and so she ended up in my lap toward the end.  We decided to duck out early but had a great time while it lasted! 

Pointsettias at the gardens...

 don't you love their forced smiles!  Awesome;)

At the beginning of January Aunt Patti, the girls, and I went to the very last day of the poinsettia display at the gardens.  It is absolutely beautiful!  They set up their trains (that they usually have outside) around the beautiful poinsettias and holiday decor.  There is a small little kiddie train ride the girls went on too.  We had lunch and soaked in the last bit of holiday cheer for the season.  Thanks to Aunt Patti  for giving us this experience!  We love it!

Our super hero princess...

Livia is definitely our girlie girl of the family.  She loves babies, princess crowns, and pink.  She loves super heroes only because her sister is a huge fan.  I had to get video of her wearing her fairy wings, princess crown, pink plastic shoes in her Spider-man pajamas.  Too cute!

and then there is the super hero of all super heroes.  This girl loves the Avengers and her favorite is Spider-man.  She keeps saying she wants to be like Peter Parker:)  Her favorite colors are red, blue, and green.  She adamantly does not like pink and purple.  Her recent kick is she wants to get her hair cut short like a little boy in her class.  I asked her how short and she says "like Eli."  I drop the subject in hopes she does too.  About 10 minutes later she comes back and says "so you need to call Kelly (her hairdresser) to make an appointment so she can cut my hair short" NOT GONNA HAPPEN sister and all scissors are on lock down at our camp!  :)
