Dress Up Time!

We had dinner at Uncle Buddy's and Auntie Michelle's house on Sunday night and the girls played dress up with Kennedy and Alexis's old Halloween/dance costumes.  They were switching them up left and right and had on probably 5 or 6 different outfits.  Big surprise to see Aftin in a wig again.  That girl wants long hair so badly.  Maddyx even got in a dress, but wouldn't go for wearing a wig.

My girls dressed up!

Time to feed the birds!

Grammie and the girls made bird feeders recently and so we hung them up this last weekend.  The girls love doing crafts with Grammie and we love helping out with them, like tying up the bird feeders.  We added some to the swing set too, but I didn't get pictures of that.

Bailee helped too.








Sledding Time!


We finally got warmer weather and the girls got to try out the sleds that Santa brought them.  We found a decent hill that has a little jump at the bottom that we could use.  The girls weren't sure of the jump at the bottom at first, but after a couple times down were loving it.  Bailee was definitely in a better mood than Aftin (lack of sleep), but both ended up having a good time.



My girl loves sledding!





Not as happy as Bailee, but still doing good.

Trying it together.

Look Mom, I dressed myself!

The girls, especially Aftin, are so into picking out their own outfits lately.  I think it's hilarious to see what they think looks good and how long it takes for them to pick out the exact pants to go with the shirt or dress they have picked out.  They also accessorize with necklaces and headbands.  A lot of times Aftin tries to "help" Bailee in picking out her clothes, but Bailee has been a lot more stern about picking the clothes out herself recently.  Here are a couple outfits from this last weekend.
Aftin's pants have cupcakes on them and she thought that worked well with the butterflies on her socks.

Bailee has stars on her pants and that coordinated well with the dots on her dress.


Smoothie Time!

We still do the Smoothie Saturday or Sunday depending on what we have going on.  We did it on Sunday this last weekend and the girls still can't get enough of them.  They pick out their own cups and straws and help make them.  I think this is a tradition that is going to stick.



Time to Wrestle!

A lot of my family and friends got together to watch Cole wrestle this last Saturday.  It was so fun to watch little Cole compete.  The girls were good for the most part, though I did get a picture of Aftin during a mini meltdown.  He ended up losing two matches, but winning one.  We couldn't be prouder of him!

Merry Go Round Time!

We went to Maplewood Mall last night with Tamara and the girls saw the merry-go-round and that's the only thing they wanted to do.  So before any shopping we headed over to catch a ride on the merry go round.  The girls picked out their horses and by the smiles on their faces you can tell they couldn't get enough of the ride.  It ws so cute!!  They also got a stamp of a horse afterwards that they couldn't stop talking about.

Right before getting on the ride.

Do they look like they are having fun?

Snow Tubing Time!

We went to Trollhaugen yesterday so that the girls could snow tube for the first time and we brought Cole along since we haven't done anything fun with him for a long time.  We all had such a great time and the weather was so nice.  We finally had a 36 degree day and had to put in as much time outside as possible.  Aftin did great on the magic carpet going up the hill, but Bailee ended up going up in a tube with me.  I can't wait to go again!
All dressed up ready to tube.


Heading up the hill.
