First Time in Pigtails

I think you will be seeing a lot more of these:)

Valentine's Day

We had a lot of fun here for Valentine's Day! Dan worked late so the girls and I decided to celebrate all day! We dipped strawberries in chocolate, ate heart-shaped sandwiches for lunch, and enjoyed yummy cupcakes. Here is Lauren in her Valentine's Day outfit (hand-picked by herself!).

The girls each got a Valentine's puppy...

Time for dessert!

When left alone...

When I leave these girls alone in a room, they usually get pretty creative! I was actually very impressed that Lauren was able to get Ella to participate in dress-up, and even more impressed that she helped Ella into that dress all by herself! Ella thinks all headbands go around her neck, which is why she has Minnie Mouse ears hanging from her neck. And Lauren wore her clip-on earrings for the first time! So cute!

Snow Much Fun!

With the warmer weather today Dan took Lauren outside for some playtime. This was really the first time she was able to enjoy a long day playing in the snow without getting too cold. They took the sled down the hill and onto the lake for over an hour, and then moved on to building snowmen. I think that is the cutest snowman I've ever seen:) She went through three pairs of soggy wet mittens, and she still didn't want to come inside at the end of the day! Unfortunately Ella came down with a cold and had to sit this one out. But she got lots of snuggle time with mom instead.
