Fairies and Flutter-Flies

The girls got these beautiful fairy costumes from Auntie Kim for Christmas, and they love to wear the wings and fly around! 

Sometimes they are fairies and sometimes they are beautiful butterflies.

Liv drew a picture of herself with fairy wings.

Playing with Friends at the Park

We had some unbelievably beautiful weather this week, 60s and sunny. We played outside a lot! We even met up with some friends at a park in town for an impromptu playdate! (the power of facebook!)

In addition to climbing and sliding, there was bike riding, sidewalk chalk, dog walking, snacks, and plenty of running around and exploring. The moms got to sit & chat for nearly 2 hours! Holy Moly!

Liv tells me on the way home that her "most favorite" was "playing in the bushes with the boys"
 I'm thinking, "oh... your dad is going to LOVE to hear that!!" 

ha ha ha

Graffiti

We went for a little hike up the ravine behind the house. It was a massive adventure if you're barely three feet tall! And a very nice walk for Jeff and me. 

And then the really fun part!! We had brought some water-based tempera paint to play with! 

Great exploring in so many ways! 

The Good Life

My sweet spoiled little girls had gingerbread and candy for breakfast. 

A fun trip to the park, with lots of friends to play with!

bike riding, climbing, swinging, digging, running, laughing, playing!

ah, joy!

Evening Play

Christmas Morning

Another quiet Christmas at home, where the girls spent all day opening gifts and playing with their new toys. (and even had some gifts under the tree to open the next day!) I would never have imagined such a thing, but is sure is nice!  

Happy Birthday, Jeff!
