And then...it's 2012!!!

There's nothing much to say about our lives since Christmas, but here are a bunch of pictures to show you!  Enjoy!!

Daddy and Lucy, (she kind of likes watching t.v.... already!?)

The dance recitals began in January!  Abby is dancing to Leader of the Pack! 

". . . . . . The Leader of the Pack, Vroom Vroom!"

Abby's cousin Embree took dance this year too!  She danced to "My boyfriends back!  Hannah can't wait for her turn to dance!

This is what we call movie night!  All five of us squished in our bed...but we love it! 

I think we were watching Kung Fu Panda 2 this night...great show! 

So this is a funny story!  While I was doing Abby's hair one morning she watched like 5 minutes of a dog competition (it must have been on a saturday when there was nothing on tv), she watched the part where they have to run their little obstacle course. Anyways a few days later she wanted to make a dog show for her stuffed dogs.  She kept asking for a tire that her dog could jump through.  I couldn't figure out what she was talking about, and then I remembered.  It was kind of funny helping her replicate the course, because obviously we did not have a tire for them to jump through, but she was so stuck on making a real course  ("Mom, and what about the yellow see-saw?").  Well after much deliberation and compromise, this is Abby's version of a dog show.  Despite the un-authenticity of the course, the girls had so much fun!

The thing hanging off the back of the chair (Lucy's little playmat)...... yeah, that's our version of the tire!

And that's our "yellow see-saw"

The dogs had to jump through the "tire", run through the tunnel (the colored chairs), over the see-saw, around the cups, and jump over the bowls.  Pretty good for watching only 5 minutes of the competition, right?

So we finally got some snow a few weeks ago (I'm not complaining), so I thought is was appropriate to make a snow man, it was the perfect snow!!!

Here is our eyeless, buttonless snowman!  At least he's got the hat and scarf! I'm not sure where his carrot nose went too.......oh! there it is, on the ground!  Oops! 

It has been sad seeing him slowly melt away over the last few weeks...

*now he's only a rotten carrot on a very muddy ground!  Goodbye Mr. Snowman.
