We're already wishing spring were here! Cabin fever has set in. We decided to go up to the gym and do a little swimming on Sunday. They always have a great time when there's water involved! 
Making "blueberry cakes" 
AnLi's favorite fountain 
Chasing - always a favorite on land or water
Carli, Jack, AnLi & Sydney
The girls are ready to go back to school and get back to routine. Both have been sick at some point during their break. They've got lots of Christmas toys to play with, but they ask to play in the bath every day. AnLi would stay in there all day if I'd let her!
It was Carli's turn to get out first. AnLi grabbed and hugged her saying, "No, she's my friend!"
I guess they're bored~
Rubi will let AnLi do ANYTHING to her, I guess even give her a haircut. LOL! I tried keeping a very straight face, sent AnLi to timeout for using scissors, and told her I needed to take a picture to show Daddy when he got home, trying to hold in my laughter. She's been apologizing for using scissors without an adult since. Funny things is, considering the amount of fur I found (you can't see all of it in the picture), you can't even tell the cat got her hair cut. I guess she needed it. :)Christmas and all that surrounds the holiday were exceptionally fun this year. Having a 4-year-old who is full of excitement, for a month, makes things magical for all. Carli wasn't quite sure about the whole thing, but soon got into the swing of things and loved every minute of it. We had a full three days and are blessed to have a wonderful family to share it all with.
We went out to look at Christmas lights and get some pizza. We left Santa's cookies and milk "just in case". On the way home, AnLi was sure she saw Santa's sleigh in the sky. When we pulled into our subdivision she saw reindeer tracks in the snow. She couldn't wait to get inside. They both stopped dead in their tracks when they saw Santa had visited and brought them each the dolls they had asked for. They played with those dolls for a good half hour before they asked if they could open the rest of the gifts.
The girls got Hannah Montana wigs. Carli wore that thing through all of Christmas and LOVED it! AnLi would have nothing to do with it. :)
Carli had her school program on Friday. She had stage fright. She mostly played with her construction paper mittens and spent a lot of time watching the people behind her sing. :)) I'm not even going to post pics of the event because her hair had fallen out of her hair clips and was just hanging in her face. Why couldn't her teachers clip it back?
(I really cannot figure out this camera. The settings are all messed up and I haven't had a chance to sit down and play around with it, so excuse the poor quality shots. I better figure it out before Christmas.)
How cute would this have been? Oh, this camera!
Isn't this just the cutest picture ever? Oh, she's so adorable!
Carli was VERY excited to show AnLi her picture, so as soon as AnLi got in the car after preschool, Carli yelled, "Ook, A-ee!" And AnLi in some high-pitched voice, "Oh, that's soooo cute, Carli! That's the cutest picture EVER!" Took the words right out of my mouth. :)
