Peace

I hope I look this peaceful when I sleep

Gymnastics FIeld Trip

Kelsey's preschool had an excursion to Northsore Gymnastics which of course Kelsey thought was great! So great in fact we managed to get her signed up for classes there!

Pajama Party

Kelsey's preschool had a pajama party complete with pizza, fun dancing music from Nancy Stewart to get the wiggles out followed by bed time music and a bed time story. The kids LOVED it!

Kelsey's buddy Laila

Should I be concerned she chose to "sleep" next to Calvin? :)

Bathing Beauties

They crack me up when they lay in the tub like this :)

As a family Christmas gift we decided to get the new Kinect which has been the funnest toy we've bought ever :) Not only can the kids actually play it (I'm quite impressed at how well Kelsey does and Josie does her fair share of jumping and dancing along with it) but its a blast to do with friends, family or even by yourself. Its a great workout and a blast to do! I have some HILARIOUS videos of my dad and Chuck doing the dancing game (and a couple great ones of my dad doing Kinect Adventures) but I've promised not to post them. But I can probably be swayed to upload them to youtube to email y'all for a hefty sum ;)

In the meantime you'll have to check out these groovy moves from Princess Kelsey :)

Such Big Girls

These are the school pictures from Kelsey's preschool. I just cannot believe how old both girls look! Where did my babies go??

Randoms

Here are some random photos throughout the past couple of months that really didn't need their own post but I thought they were either cute or just showed off the kid's personality so much that I had to share.

What can I say - the girl has some interesting ensembles. Sadly this is one of her more tame ones :)

The girls got a wagon for Christmas (which they LOVE) but the box was an even bigger hit...at least until recycle came. Go figure!

I can't wait to show this off at her wedding :)

The girls definitely play together more now and I love that Josie likes to dress up like her sissy

Love the little piggy tails in this one! If you can't find Josie, chances are she's brushing her teeth. She's going into the dental field when she's older...I know it :)

SNOW!

Shortly after Christmas the girls got to experience their first snow storm of the year (since we missed the one at Thanksgiving). Kelsey LOVED it! Josie loved the idea of it but hated the coldness of it all ;) She would beg to go outside and play but once we were out there she didn't want to be put down and when you did put her down all she would do was cry/scream. But if you'd try to take her inside she'd scream more and would want to go back out! Thankfully the temps dropped to below freezing for quite a number of days, the snow stuck around long enough for Josie to acclimate and decide that snow was pretty fun stuff!

Trying out the sled we bought two years ago after our last major snow season...you know, the year we got TONS of snow and then never saw snow again until this year? At least we were prepared this time!

She may seem excited....

...But really she's not. We saw this face a lot the first couple of days :)

The Arnold Side

From Orting we headed down to Longview for Chuck's side of the family. The kids took a great nap on the car ride down and were raring to go when we arrived. We had a great time opening presents and playing Kinect into the wee hours of the night :)
