Here in Wisconsin the kids spent a lot of time playing on their playset in the snow. We had snow on the ground from early December until mid March.
Lunatic...as Eric calls him :)
rosy cheeks
Valentine's Day
oh, those blue grey eyes...
a sweet moment of sibling love rather than rivalry
Tarini outgrew her pants in length so quickly that they didn't last the season. Grandma added beautiful fabric bottoms and patches.
Our little hockey "princess" LOL
Tarini and Luna have the best time together.
Tarini received the Principal's Award for excellent behavior.
We have beautiful walking/biking trails surrounding us and right before the first snow I got pictures of the kids. We haven't seen the ground and grass since...
waiting for the bus early one morning
Tarini loves to lay in front of the fire - which almost always ends with sleep.
Ben prefers the couch :)

Tarini is finally in ballet and loving every minute of it...except for the fact that it is not enough for her. She informs me after every class that it is too short and she wishes she could stay and dance with the big girls. I forsee a lot of dance classes in our future :)
Tarini's class has started practicing the routine for their recital in June.
I think it's a good thing they started this early...LOL
Tarini (with Avy) in her leotard from Aunt Andrea, Uncle Mike, Emily and Nicole. She insisted that we take it to KY so she could show everyone.
The girls thought it would be fun to switch...I guess it starts early :)
We had a low-key, family fun New Years at my sister's house with family and friends. We had great food, played games, and the kids did a lot of dancing :)

Christmas morning at Grandma and Grandpa's
Avy and Benjamin - the two of them typically fight like cats and dogs so this was a rare sweet moment between them.
He finally got his robot!
Tarini has wanted this doll since she laid eyes on it.
Grandma made this massive giraffe print floor pillow. She had made a pink one for Tarini's room and Benjamin just had to have his own.

Christmas morning at Aunt Heathers

Anakin and Benjamin wrote letters to everyone that they love...Benjamin is getting a little help here.
