Dance

Last weekend was crazy, filled completed up with Dance activities. Emma had a mid-winter recital for both her ballet and hip-hop class. Thursday and Friday evenings we had dress rehearsals, and then Saturday all day, since she danced in both shows. She danced with her friend Maggi for hip hop, and it was fun to see them having so much fun!

Basketball!

Go Yellow #6!

Reading

Bedtime is our favorite time around here. Emma's getting better at reading everyday, and has started into her first little chapter books. Sammy the Seal is what they are reading here. Henry doesn't want to miss out on any of the action.

Snow!

We had quite the ice/snow storm hit a few weeks ago. It was beautiful, but it basically shut down Seattle with all of the hills. We lost power for a few days and camped out at Grandma Folkman's until the power came back on. We got a whole week off from school, which now has to be made up in June. It was fun though. Emma spent lots of time building little snow people out on the back deck.

Levi Laughing

Emma is really great at making Levi laugh, and he usually does big belly laughs when she gets him going. Here are a couple videos of the little man laughing. :)

Birding

For Christmas this year, the only thing Emma wanted was a bird. She wanted one in a cage to have here at home. Santa didn't bring it. Instead, he built her a cute little birdhouse, and with some seeds from Grandma Reckling, we now have regular visitors on our back deck. Emma is thrilled, and so is mom. This is so much easier than taking care of a bird inside. :)

Lost Christmas Cards!

I got our Christmas cards all ready and ordered before the Holidays, but then we moved. And I still haven't been able to find them. So you might be getting them in March. :)

Here it is, it was a cute picture at least!
