Snowmen!

Finally after what seems like years of excessive cold (probably only weeks really) it warmed up enough to go play outside! It was beautiful out so Graye and I built a snowman in the backyard. Graye thought he needed hair also, so that's what the flowers on top are.

Biter

Tegan's latest handiwork:

I came home from work to this sight the other day. You can count every one of her 6 teeth on Graye's cheek. Suggestions on how to stop a one year old from biting?? Bite her back - that's the best I've got. =b

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY TEGAN!!

Well her birthday is actually tomorrow (the 28th) but this was the party day! Everyone was coming mid-afternoon for play and waffles.

Pre-party lunch: McDonald's! =) Tegan needed something in each hand as well as her mouth. Junk food addict much??

"CHEEEESE!"

Pre-party decorations. =)

Birthday Party Time!!!

Tegan got spoiled (as always) with lots of new clothes and toys. Thanks so much everyone!

There was LOTS of help opening gifts!




Everyone knows what the best part of all gifts for kids are....

...the box.

Breakfast for Supper

We had waffles for supper with lots of toppings, yuuummmm....

Team Waffle! My sister-in-laws each manned a waffle maker with me.

Perfect waffle!!! (We were having a few issues with sticky waffles.)

Suppfast!

Post eating game time. Aidan entertained the kids by playing Mariocart Wii.

CAKE!

Thank Heaven...

I put this bib on her without looking at it... until Ryan started laughing and had to get the camera!

Winter Play

Our new sled dog! Corey and Lindsay might appreciate our attempts! Milo got the pulling harness for Christmas (lucky him!) and the kids got the sleds, so now winter walks are much easier for us! Maybe not for Milo, but he seems to like going and it sure wears him out faster!

Hanging out with Aunty Jackie and Uncle Neil.

Typical days.

Playing cars, watching Treehouse. Although Graye is much more into "T-Whee" than Tegan. Very little holds her interest there! Tegan needs to be a bit older and then I am sure playing dolls will fit in there somewhere too.

Let it snow, let it snow...

...while I go... to Mexico...
Ahhhh, I wish. While winter took a while getting here this year, it sure made up for it in cold and snow! This is our new house, covered in snow. With Ryan out there shoveling! What a trooper.

Tegan and Graye watching Dad shovel. I think Tegan thought it looked awful and Graye was wishing he could be out there too!
