Fresh Air

When it's 60 degrees and sunny on January 21, you head to the zoo to run and play!

 And you might even talk your parents into letting you take your coat off 😀

Christmas, Christmas, and more Christmas

We had several Merry Christmases this year! Despite some challenges with with illness and injury, things were still pretty festive 

Celebrating early with the Gabele extended family

Crazy girls! Alexandra was a fantastic big cousin and kept Evelyn and Annalie entertained :)

 Christmas eve! The girls sprinkled "reindeer food" on the lawn before bed. It worked--Santa came!

 Christmas morning

The girls and I enjoyed some time with the Janowski extended family

 We tried. 

Coloring with Morgan

Brayden, Morgan, Noah, Evelyn, and Annalie

This cute baby also came to town! 

Matching dresses from Grandma Jean

Three headed monster?

😍😍😍😍😍

The tripod saw a lot of action this Christmas. 

A chilly trip to the zoo!

And last but not least, Christmas with Grandma Marilyn and Grandpa Wally!

Thanks to all our family for making it a great holiday despite a few setbacks!!

Winter Wonderland

We had lots of fun in the recent snow!

We also went sledding on Sunday, but I don't have pictures! The girls are becoming pro sledders--they both enjoyed flying over the "jump" some older kids made. We are lucky to have a great hill in walking distance. 

 Of course we are busy getting, ready for Christmas, too :)

Minnesota Weekend

We had a short but very sweet trip to Minnesota recently!

We saw our favorite cousins, and met baby Ellory...

Both of them seem to be wondering if this is a good idea.

The weather was lovely!

We took a free train ride to the Children's Museum in downtown St. Paul.

The girls loved painting their faces.

There were lots of very cute moments :)

We had a very nice trip!
