January and February 2014

We have had a CRAZY two months of 2014! Kate turned 6 and enjoyed a birthday party at the gym and a trip to the American Girl store with her sweet doll McKenna! Then, there was the SNOW JAMS we've had! Part 1 and Part 2 shut down our city for two different weeks! As crazy as the weather was....we sure did have fun playing in the snow, EATING snow cream, making OLAF (from Frozen), drinking LOTS of hot chocolate, learning to knit, and sledding of coarse! Obviously, there aren't many sled options down here.... so one store was ordering before the 2nd snow storm hit - I ordered one online...and Mike went to pick it up and stood in a CRAZY line as all the other families were waiting for their sled too - what a memory and SO funny!
The big girls also participated in basketball cheerleading this winter - and LOVED it! Molly kind of became their little mascot too! GO SWEETHEARTS! We enjoyed watching them cheer and be part of a team these last few months! The big girls enjoyed Father Daughter Dance with daddy too this month! They look so grown up to me....time is really flying by! Emma has started lacrosse and is loving it...but NOT loving the cold weather for practices so HURRY UP SPRING! Kate, has lost her first and second teeth and is starting tumbling on Monday. And Molly....she is just little miss independent! She turned two this month, enjoyed a Minnie  Mouse birthday party and went to  Build a Bear for the 1st time. She follows her sisters around and makes us all laugh with her dancing and silly comments :) She is in a big girl bed now, and had her first haircut! We can't leave Sully out either - he is definitely part of the family! We adore him and he is fitting in well! He didn't know what to make of the snow either! He recently graduated from Puppy School and we are so proud :) We are also proud of Daddy who we've enjoyed watching him play Winter Lax! The girls love cheering for their number 7!!!!

Another special part of this winter has been our visit with our cousins Owen and Ava! They came to see us this past weekend and we had NON STOP fun! We played, had slumber parties, went out to eat, got ice cream and just enjoyed each other! We love them so much! What a fun visit we had!

Let's hope the weather warms up soon - we are all ready for Spring!

Love to all, and come visit! We would LOVE to have you!

Mike , Amy, Emma, Kate, Molly, and Sullivan
