WINTER!!!

Before the snow fell we took a carriage ride in downtown Montpelier.

Ambiana loved the horse.

She also loves her panda she won at the Co-op annual meeting raffle last month!

Jakobi's hands are always in motion and her favorite thing to put in her mouth is a spoon. She is rolling over from front to back and back to front, making all kinds of noises, and loves to watch her sister and Thomas the cat.

Snow finally came last week and didn't let up for a week. Ambiana loves to help me shovel the steps...


...and brush off the car.

She is much better in the snow this year, doesn't mind if it gets on her and loves to plop in it and make snow angels. Gaelen was up for the weekend and they had lots of fun in the sled.

We spent saturday night at Rick and Karen's. We slept over, had a yum meal and gaelen and Ya had a blast playing with Cole and Aila.

Ambiana in her munchkin tights! We treated her and the rest of the kids to a free showing of the Wizard of Oz at the Savoy Theatre. We bumped Ambiana's 1st movie age from 7 to 3 11/12ths because she knows the story so well and felt she was ready for a special treat! We prepped her for the Wicked Witch and the Flying Monkeys and she was fine throughout. At first she was a little reluctant to watch but soon got into it and even whispered to me what was coming up and said out loud when the witch was on the screen: "She's not scary, she's just a person dressed up!"

Here is the whole gang before going in to the movie...no Colleen because she and Jakobi were in Burlington for the weekend taking a dance therapy course. just me and my kids for 2 days!


Ambiana loves to hold Jakobi!!!
