SNOW DAY!

Woah, did we get some some!! It was a beautiful snow that came fast and furious last night. We really had no choice but to go out and enjoy the amazing color and sound--or lack of--that only happens when it's snowing like that.

So, we put snow pants and jacket on over pajamas and headed out for a walk around the neighborhood. Ours were the only prints out there. Should Eva have already been in bed? Yes, probably. But how often do we get to do this? Gotta seize the moment, right?

Sixteen

"I can chew gum when I'm sixteen" is what we've been hearing around our house lately. No idea where that came from, but if Eva G is gonna be happy with chewing gum instead of driving when she's sixteen, who are we to complain?!

Sitting on Grandfather Cottonwood listening to a story at the nature center a few days ago. 

Eye Heart You

Well, we got the eye part down.
The heart part, not so much.

Anyway, Happy Valentine's Day!

Finally

We finally got enough snow here to make it worth putting on all of the snow gear and heading out to play for a little bit.

5 on 5

Remember 3 on 3? Well, we're going to try to do that again this year; this time 5 on 5.

Here's February 5th

Pink Guitar

Eva got a little pink guitar for her birthday. This isn't something she had asked for, but turns out to be the thing she has played with from the minute she got it. She loves this thing! She pretends she's Miss Erika from music class sometimes; she'll sing to her animals and dolls. She pretty much just jams and pretends she's a rock star!  And, although she tends to be right-handed when she does almost anything else, she plays her guitar left-handed.

(is she feeling the music, or what?!?)

 she lined everybody up and started singing to them

Ladybug Party

Eva G wanted a ladybug birthday party since way back in October or November. (Two days before her party, she wanted a tiger party. I suggested that might be an option for next year, not this year!).

It was a fun party with good friends and family.

What a lucky, loved little girl!
