Winter break

It's almost the end of our break and I am a little sad that it's ending. I have loved having the girls home with me all day and the time with Justin home was so great to have all that family time. We really enjoyed our long weekends, we slept in (Grace is home to entertain her sister so we can sleep in a little bit.) and I made breakfasts which is our families favorite meal, we took the girls to a movie and tried some new places to eat. It was just a very relaxing couple of weeks.


Grace also had her first play date with her girlfriend in her class that she loves, her name is Maddie. :) Her Moms name is Hannah and their last name is Ellis...strange.....anyway, we had alot of fun with them at the children's museum and then we took a horse drawn wagon ride around down town. Bellinghams recreation department was doing a free weekend to all their activities and events. We took the girls ice skating, to the museum a couple of times, wagon rides, and swimming all for free. It was crazy busy of course but so great to be able to try all the facilities for free and now we can decide which places we would actually pay for. The girls had such a fun time swimming and they have not missed a beat since summer time, Haylee is so brave...she scares me a little bit. :)

"Storms a comin' me hardies" is all they were yelling at everyone.

Ice skating:

Haylee tried it for about a minute and she was done. :)

Very brave Daddy taking her around with tons of people.
She was getting very brave about the second time around.

Thanks Daddy, Mom was not about to get out there in that crazy mess of people, no bed rest for me this pregnancy thank you. :)
