Bye Bye Binkies

Tonight, Natalie bid farewell to her good friends, the binkies.  After going a good 3 days without using one, we decided it was time to give them to the bunnies.  There was a brief moment of sadness when we discussed it around 5PM, but by 6:30 she happily put the last remaining one outside on a napkin.  The bunnies came while we were downstairs and left her a Barbie fridge as a thank you present!

We're so proud of her!




playdate

We had a fun Friday night playdate at the Hands On House with our friends the Sensenigs and the Beyers.

The Daddies building stuff.   We think they had as much fun as the kids!

Yes, Daddy built this.  We are so proud.

Another day care friend, Leo, just happened to be there too!

Family Artwork


Jill drew this picture of 'healthy food' in art class.  Mommy was very impressed by the lines on the bananas and the bottom contours of the green pepper and apples.

Mommy's first decoupage.  Tooth fairy boxes for the girls.

Helpful sisters

When cleaning out your accessories drawer, always be sure to have your little sister close by.  She can prove invaluable for sorting and organizing.

New Year's Eve


Pretzels

As we have the past 4 years, we spent New Year's Eve with our friends the Riveras.  And Chris made his famous (infamous?) soft pretzels.  They were so yummy we didn't even get a picture of them before they were gone!

Daddy had lots of helpers this year!
