Anna after dressing up in her princess outfit:

"Mommy, do you think I look pretty enough that a prince would ever want to dance with me?"






Yes, my sweet girl. You are very, very pretty.

Anyone Else?

Call me crazy but in these two pictures I can see Anna in me and I can see me in my mom. Anyone else?

Best Friends

Growing up, my dad always took tons of pictures of us and had them developed into slides. We have a whole collection of slides in the basement collecting dust. Since my dad recently retired, he has started going through them and scanning them on the computer. Every so often I am thrilled when he sends us some to look at. I could sit and look at them for hours at a time. Here are some of my favorites that he sent today.

Grammy's Surprise Party

This past weekend we were in Maryland for Ron's mom's surprise birthday party. We had a great time visiting with family and Anna loved playing with all of her cousins. Here are some highlights from our trip.

Sweet Chloe

Chloe has been enjoying some downtime by the new fire too. Here she is taking a sunbath in our toasty warm family room.

Snuggles on a Snow Day!

Sit Back and Relax

Our new stove recently arrived and we have really been enjoying it. Winter really isn't so bad when your snuggled in your warm cozy house currently at 78 degrees! We have been enjoying warm cocoa by the fire, stories by the fire and movies by the fire. Ron claims one of these nights he's going to sleep by the fire, but I prefer my comfortable bed to a hardwood floor!
