Snip Snip

Baby Doll was there to give support.
Fixing the crooked bangs, thanks Mom.

What's Up!






Ready to go!










Looking good.






We ventured out to Great Clips this morning for haircuts for the girls. This was Olivia's "official" first haircut and she was perfect!

P is for Playground
















It was unusually warm for January this afternoon so we took advantage after naps and headed to the playground. The girls love the swings and twisty slide. Can't wait for Spring!

Ballet Babies

Ready to Dance!
Liv, Em and Lucinda just before class starts (Lucinda's first class).

Warming up.











Dance class this morning. Emma went to her Combo class where her buddies Lucinda, Jack and Kate attended. Olivia and I tried out the Parent-Tot class. Liv was sort of into it, but she ran over to Daddy (taking photos) a few times. We might try this one again in a few weeks.

Be Mine




After Emma's dance class this morning (and Mommy & Olivia's Starbuck's bonding time), we started on the Valentine's Day cards. Here is a sneak peek! Emma's handprint is in the pink and Liv's is red. Both girls LOVE making handprints with paint. Don't their hands look so big?!

Caymans

Shopping in Georgetown.




Watch out for blow holes!












Yes, we visited HELL.
















Amazing sunsets, white beaches and crystal blue water.









Aboard the sunset cruise.










We all live in the yellow submarine. Atlantis submarine tour.











Heading into the submarine.












Ryan won his incentive trip for Hormel (yeah!) so we jetted off to the Cayman Islands last week. The girls stayed home with their new favorite babysitter, Heather. The island was awesome and it was fun to see old friends. We ended up being so incredibly busy that we barely took any pictures - imagine that!
