Lots of Family Time

We had a very snowy day on Monday. It was the first opportunity that S had to really play in the snow. She loves looking at it, but I'm not sure how much she enjoyed falling over in it. All in all she was a good sport being outside.



Later in the day we went up to a birthday party for S's twin cousins who are turning 5. Scarlett loved the cake and kept called the frosting a "treat". I guess we know which part she'll be loving in a few days here.


They had a kids climbing area that all of the kids played in. S is a bit timid, but has a cousin only 4 weeks older than her who was happy to show her the ropes :)


Playing air hockey with dad after she was done climbing around :)



 We spent New Year's Eve and part of the following  day with Jenny's parents. It was fun for S to be the only little one around. There are a lot of young grandkids, so this was a rarity. She enjoyed some fun air hockey time with Dad.


She LOVES the book Snowmen at Christmas. It was especially fun to be able to have Grandma read it to her :)


One of her favorite things at Jenny's parents home is the horse. Brett's parents have one too, but it the rocking kind not the kind with springs. To S it doesn't really matter. She loves any horse that she can ride :)


Before we cleaned up Christmas we found this little gem. We had seen S playing with the nativity earlier in the day, but hadn't really noticed what she had done with it. While she was napping Brett asked Jenny if she had arranged it this way. It was a surprise to her when she looked up to see the arrangement. This kid loves talking about Mary, Joseph, and Jesus. I love how she surrounded Him by as many people as she could.



We got out her dress ups from Christmas again this week. She loved them! She danced around in them, and then just played. The candycorn tutu is pretty poofy and she decided it was the perfect thing to ride her car in :) I also think its great how she decided it deserved a tiara.



S's birthday is coming up this week. She is going to be 2. I can't believe that time has come already. Both of Jenny's parents still work. They took time Saturday to come down and visit her for her birthday :) 


She had to be right there with grandma opening them :)


Jenny's mom has made these elf type hats for all of the grandkids. S was pretty happy with hers :)


S is a huge book lover. She was in heaven to have grandpa reading to her!
