Movie Night!

Sometimes when Jack is out on a Friday night the girls and I bring all our blankets and pillows to the family room, make a pizza and watch a movie.  If we could only get Elliot to stop stealing our food it would be perfect :)

Two Minute Playtime

We have about 30 minutes before nap when the girls get home from preschool.  Kate always asks if we can play outside for "two minutes- just two minutes Mommy."  The girls always have fun playing with each other on the driveway for "two minutes" or thirty...
Kate always looks for planes :)
Time for a nap...
This kid is never ready for a nap... "just two more minutes?"

Too Much

 Kate has been sleeping with too many things lately.  But don't try and take anything away...

Snuggling

It didn't take the girls long to figure out how to stay up late- just snuggle up to their daddy and suddenly bedtime is delayed...

Snow Day!

Even though we live in the south, we still seem to get a few good snow days.  The girls were excited when they woke up to snow on the ground.  All the roads were closed so there was nothing to do but play in it.  The three of us wondered outside and found all the neighbors "sledding" so we quickly joined in.
I grew up sledding every winter and I don't think I ever used the top of a tupperware tote but it worked great!
It quite a bit of convincing but finally Grace gave it a try and loved it!
Kate was more interested in throwing "snowballs"
Kate joined in on the fun too
After a couple of hours everyone got tired and the older girls decided to head in and play inside
We had a fun lunch
And decorated some cookies.
Good sharing :)
I found them having a "sleepover"
I went to the store a few days later- pretty wild to see no food since the roads were closed for a few days.

Never Too Old for These...

Bath Pictures!
And I know it looks like Kate was drowning but she was just blowing bubbles (in dirty bath water) :)

Annual After Christmas Event

The last few years I have bought a gingerbread house after Christmas at a big discount.  Grace never seemed to care when we did one, she just liked to put it together.  This year was a little more challenging because Kate definitely wanted to help so Grace had to share the duties.  They had fun and it turned out great!
Kate did not like to get messy which was interesting dealing with frosting and candy...

Bowl Game!

Jack and I were excited to go to Alabama's New Year's Day bowl game and cheer the Tide onto a victory!  Roll Tide!
