Pajama Breakfast

We had a spontaneous pajama breakfast Sunday morning.  Bella especially loved wearing her jammies and robe to IHOP.  We enjoyed chocolate chip pancakes and then were on our way.




Decorating

The kids helped decorate the big tree this weekend.  Of course the best part was climbing the ladder.


 We put a smaller tree upstairs that was their very own.  Thanks to Nana and Grandpa for allowing us to borrow a tree.  The kids loved putting the bulbs on.  And as fast as the girls had them on Connor was quick to call out ball pull them off and throw them across the room!  Decorating was good fun and the bulbs keep moving all over the tree.  Really a great way to entertain on a cold afternoon.





Ice Skating

The weather was fantastic on Sunday.  We went to the local synthetic ice rink for some fun!  The girls love ice skating ever since we tried it last year on ice.  The rink was a bit strange but perfect for the kids to practice.  Their hands weren't cold when they fell and they lasted a little longer with all the bum falls as it wasn't as hard or cold.  We will practice here a little longer and then head for the ice again.







Marin has been practicing this the entire season.  It drives Uncle Chris crazy!



Cute pictures

Some fun pictures of the kiddos!





Thanksgiving performance

Bella's kindie class put on a Thanksgiving performance.  They had about 5 songs that the kids worked on and then enjoyed a feast with their families afterwards.  Doesn't she make a cute pilgrim and then a turkey?






First snow

We had so much fun playing in the snow!  We got dumped on in November and the kids were excited to play in all the white stuff.  Bella was thrilled with her snowman.  Marin was busy shoveling and Connor was sort of wondering what to do.  He was excited but a little cold.
