S.N.O.W.

Just a wee bit of snow ...

In the snow fort!

Puggies in the snow.

We are buried under 2 feet of snow and it just keeps coming! Ryan made it home safely from Nebraska last night and the girls were excited to play in the snow with their Daddy. Here we are playing in the backyard. Ryan and Emma built a snow fort in the base of the slide and Eloise and Isabelle chased each other through the path. Olivia wasn't sure about the snow at first, but found that swinging in the snow could be fun.

Outdoor Ice Skating

Kids skate FREE on Sundays downtown at the ice rink, so we headed down first thing this morning. It was sunny, not too crowded and they played fantastic music! Girls tried out the walkers, but later opted to skate without them. Rink is open until 2/14, so we will definitely have to go again!

Snow Day

That's a happy girl.

Ready to throw at Mommy.

Two snow angels.

We had intentions to meet up with Rocco and go ice skating downtown today, however, when the snow started falling and temperatures dropped - somehow a day outside on ice didn't sound like such a great plan. Instead, we watched a movie, colored, finished our V-Day cards, fought, made messes, did laundry and finally geared up to go play outside. Here the funny girls are making snow angels and snow balls to throw at Mommy. Living the life.

Ice Skating

Skates on ...

Helmets on ...

Ready to GO!

Penalty Box.

Dessert cups and silly faces.

We went to the Pepsi Center for a Family ice skating event. This was Emma and Olivia's first attempt, my second, and Ryan hadn't been on the ice since college. We all started off slow, but everyone really got the hang of it. We may try it again this weekend!

Basement: Mission Completed

Girls are picking out a DVD. Not so into football, yet.

Looking good!

We bit the bullet and bought a flat screen from Best Buy last night (thanks Pappa G. for the gift cards!). Ryan mounted and installed it today and it looks fabulous! Girls are downstairs watching Charlotte's Web, Ryan is in our bedroom next door watching football and I am upstairs on the computer. Ahh, Family Time <3

Barbie Deams

Moving the furniture in.

Olivia sees it for the first time.

Liv tinkering with one of the many accessories - this one is a TV!

Ryan making a few adjustments. And we are ready to party!

Our dear friend, Debby, and her generous daughter, Liliana, gave Emma and Olivia their Barbie Dream House! We are not talking about a small shack here either. Furniture, light fixtures, a working doorbell - I may move in there. Right now it is a sorority house, since we have no Ken dolls.

Ride Em

Come on, Emma!

Around the block, we go!

A sunny day here in Colorado, today. Girls were excited to get on their bikes!
