The Great Indoors

As the winter drags on and on, we get to spend lots of time in the house (sigh). A few days ago, Evelyn exclaimed in an alarmed/accusing voice, "MOMMY!!!! We didn't go play OUTSIDE!!!" Sigh (again).
So, until spring comes, or at least until it gets above 20 degrees, here are some cute pictures of the girls. Inside.

Evelyn is trying to work on her smile for the camera, in full princess attire, naturally. 

And Annalie, just hanging out one morning.  

10 months

Annalie is 10 months old--double digits!

She may be part puppy.

She still loves pulling up to stand on everything, and recently she is even starting to challenge herself by letting go! 

"So big!" continues to be an adorable favorite...

Annalie is becoming an expert at feeding herself (hooray for that pincer grasp!), and some new favorites are peaches, cantaloupe, cottage cheese, and yogurt. She also enjoys stuffing random tiny bits of whatever she finds on the floor into her mouth... She loves to play ball--Daddy is hopeful he may have a future athlete.

 Annalie and Evelyn keep finding fun ways to entertain each other. Evelyn loves tickling Annalie, and they also enjoy laughing hysterically at each other for no apparent reason. 

Happy Birthday Grandma Jean!

Last weekend we visited Grandma Jean and Papa to celebrate Grandma's birthday! We had fun in the snow, and ate pizza and pie.

An enormous snow man was constructed...

Annalie charmed Uncle Dan with "soooooo big," and showed great interest in Grandma's watch.

Evelyn got her very first hot cocoa.

 Showing off her new teeth!

Grandma always has a good book to read.
