Snow!!

I sort of really want it to snow.  Maybe so we can finally ski now that I'm not preggo or recovering from being preggo!!...or maybe to see these two crazies have a blast in it.  I don't think I've posted these gems before but this was earlier in December when we had a day or two of snow up here Everett's polar vortex of sorts.  Here's hoping for snow on some none engaged weekend soon.

Pic of Dev - pre hair cut *sniff*

Pic of Tova - obviously she didn't make it outside that night.  Which is another reason for it to snow...she has a new purple snow suit to break in!!

Sick kiddo

From a couple of weeks ago but representative of her adorablness

co-eating [tova sitting on mama's lap to eat] is generally normal but becomes imperative while our girl is sick

Thankfully not puking in this box

doing daddo's nails - it was apparently a very serious matter

I haven't done official research but I'm pretty sure one or both of the kiddos gets sick this week every year.  It was Tova's turn this year.  The flu got her...and not the achy muscle stuffy head kinda flu, much to Nick and my dismay.  I thought it was too rich of food Tuesday night but I had just gotten to work when school called me back to come quarantine her for 24 hours. :)  Anyhow she faked us out for another 48 hours only to end up sick again on Friday.  I got the house clean on Wednesday during the fake out and Nick got some serious Daddo and Tova cuddle time only to match her first month of life on Friday.  So holiday weekend was free and clear of...unpleasantness. : )

Deven and Mamma Date Day

I accidentally grabbed this photo during the up load - it's from July 2013 - I just couldn't delete it.

This is how we start a vacation morning - mamma and deven style

being soooo cool waiting for Frozen to start - notice the weather appropriate snow suit

Watch out mother's this kid is going to break your girl's heart

 

We don't do it as often as we should or want to but Deven and I finally got out on our own.  We went to see Frozen the new Disney movie and then went to Red Robin for lunch.  He wanted a burger but ended up with mac and cheese of course.  The movie was awesome actually, I would recommend seeing it if you want to get out of the rain this winter.

xmas morning - cutest thing ever

Tova xmas morning at nana and bubba's

candy cane butt.

The day after - new PJ's, new dress, new tutu - two LUCKY kiddos

Christmas was a whirlwind and I may just now be recovered.  Give me another month perhaps.  The holiday season is like being pregnant or like trying beets.  It takes a little while before you forget all the cons and want to try it again.  Here are some pictures from this year's 48 hour extravaganza.

PS - pregnancy was just an example...done and done with that...as cute as they may be!! :)
