Happy New Year!

Today was the first day that we had Erika out in the snow! She was so excited when daddy offered to take her out. She started skipping and running around in circles in the living room. Then I put layer after layer on her and they went out. I am always so paranoid that she will get sick. But today it wasn't really even that cold.
Both of them had so much fun. I am not sure who had more fun though! While they were outside, I organized Erika's and Christopher's clothing. I didn't finish but did a lot. I needed to make some room in her closet. I was going through her summer clothing and can't believe how much she has grown just from the summer! Most of her summer clothing is size 3T! And currently she is about a 4 or 5 and sometimes a 6! That means she will need summer clothing.
I checked out this store the other day called Once Upon A Child. It is a children's thrift store that is AWESOME! I couldn't believe how nice it was. I will definitely be back there. I didn't buy anything when I went because currently I am okay but when either one of them need something I hope to check that place out again. It was VERY NICE!

Look on the swing...Daddy made Baby Christopher and Erika loved it. Peter is so creative like that. Even with the play-doh I am always amazed at how he can just create any thing. I thought I was creative but not even close to him! She likes to look out the back door now and see if Baby Christopher is still on the swing. Very cute.
There is the sculpture. That was another creation, not the one that went on the swing.
That's apparently the three of us. The one on the end with the yellow bowl is Erika!

The rest of the pictures are from when she came in. Her cheeks were all rosy. She was tired out and asked me for something warm to drink! I was so happy for her that she had a nice time outside with Daddy. I am not much of a snow person. I guess I will have to change being a mother of two but yuck to the snow!
She is so funny with that apron set from my mother. Oh and she still sets up all her train tracks and plays with her train table too! I thought she wouldn't play with the tracks any more with such a fancy train table but she sure proved me wrong! And you should see her set these tracks up...it's amazing what she can do. I am terrible at setting those tracks up and she does GREAT!


My mother brought over a few Christmas presents for Bob and Erika LOVES to play with him. I am happy about that because Bob barely gets much attention and will probably be getting even less very soon. But Erika spends a lot of time with him now that he has some toys from Grandma. It's fun to watch her interact with him too.
