Snow Day

zoooooom!

Nat and Nana 

I just love the expression on both their faces.

In addition to a Christmas celebration, family visits, and a Rose Bowl party, we managed to fit in some sled riding during our visit to Wisconsin this past week.  It was Nat's first time really playing in the snow, and her first time on a sled.  She was a little timid at first, then there was no stopping her!

sometimes the best way to the top is on all fours

There are still plenty of pictures from Christmas and Natalie's birthday coming.  These were just too fun not to share first.  

Both our kids are completely wiped out after two long weeks of celebrating and our trip North.  Tomorrow they both go to the doctor for well-checks.  I'm anxious to see where they both match up on their growth charts.  Ben is enormous and Natalie is still so tall it seems.  Speaking of Ben...he is presently asleep in his own room for the first time.  I, for one, am looking forward to (hopefully) a more restful sleep without him snoring right next to the bed!
