A Mild Winter Revisited

I don't have very many photos from last winter. I guess I forgot to get the camera out, or we had a pretty uneventful winter, or both.

We have a tradition that each kid gets to pick one present to open on Christmas Eve. Here they are proudly displaying the gifts they picked first:

Here they are Christmas morning, eagerly awaiting to open all of their awesome presents!

The 3DS that their dad bought them was (and continues to be) a big hit!

We also made lefse during our winter break. Here are my little helpers:

And we adopted a cat! Her name is Pippi. We got her a few days after Christmas. She is definitely spunky. And did I mention constantly hungry. (We must be related.) The girls really enjoy her, so I think the adoption was a good decision.

In February, Miss Doodle had her 1st Grade Breakfast. It was a country theme this year. The kids were encouraged to dress as cowboys and cowgirls. She did a great job performing with the rest of the 1st graders!

(If you are wondering what's on her cheek, it's a tattoo. I did not okay that. Thank goodness it was only temporary.)
