January In A Nutshell

Nutshells are good, but mine always still seem to be big!  Oh well.  Pictures are a great way to tell stories, and we have lots of stories around here!

Still playing catch up.  Maybe in a couple posts I'll be caught up!

(They're in random order, just FYI.  It takes too much time to move them all around!)

 I made yummy cupcakes for my cousin Jade's Birthday Party

 This one had a smiley face on the inside! :)

 Kiddo's playing together on mom & dad's bed

 Ellie having some good ol' jolly reading time

 Cute Levi Dude after his bath

 Check out those eyes, baby!

 Playing in the water at bath time

 Levi's First Hair Cut!

 What is on your face?!

 Levi's baggie of hair

 Whip cream mustache's... (we made Kneaders French Toast with my mom while she was in town, but the computer won't load any other pictures.  Ellie had a mustache, too!)

 Grandma Trena visited us from Texas

 and played and played

 and played :)

 Levi took a liking to Ellie's friends

 On New Years Day we went to Warrens for lunch

 And then to Sparetime in Syracuse

 Ellie was POOPED after bouncy toys and bowling

 Playing with the music toy Levi got for Christmas in their Mickey and Minnie chairs

 We did chin faces and made a music video to "What Does the Fox Say"

 (hence the funny faces in Levi's first hair cut pictures too)

 And this is how we do story time every night.  Levi on the left, Ellie on the right.  Although it's never this nice anymore!  It has now evolved to Levi pulling on the book trying to eat it, Ellie trying to get Levi to let go, Levi arching his back because he's tired and just wants to be held by himself, Ellie getting mad at Levi for making noise while we're reading, tugging, pulling, laughing, etc....

What a joy!
Life is great and we are loving every minute of it!  Especially these great kiddo's.  They have brought so much joy and love into our lives!
