Playdate with Jack and Kayla

Last weekend we spent some time with Jack. Jack turned 2 the weekend before but the girls were sick and couldn't go to his party. Here's a pretty good pic of the 4 of them. Of course, Kayla and Francesca are posing beautifully we couldn't get the little ones to look at the camera at the same time. Francesca and Kayla play big girl games.

Jack and Anna share a snack. Anna looks like she's thinking "Are you kidding me?"

Birthday Parties!

We've had several birthdays to celebrate this month. Kevin turned 40. Francesca made him a cake and insisted that we play pin the tale on the donkey. Kev said it was his best birthday ever. Anna pinning the tale on the donkey.

Pop Pop and Grandma help Kevin to the donkey.

Kevin and Francesca enjoy some cake.

Anna too.

Then Francesca had her friend Hannah's birthday party at Pump it Up. Here she is with her friend Anna.

Snow!

Here are some pictures of the girls playing in the little bit of snow we got the other day.

Beating the Winter Blahs

Here are some pictures from the last few boring weeks. We hate the cold and being trapped inside. How many more days until spring? Anna chillin' out with some cheezits and watching some tv.

Francesca playing a tune on her new guitar.

Having fun in the laundry basket. Kevin was pulling her around on the floor.

Anna looks like she belongs on the "Wire" She loves to wear Kevin's hat and glasses.

We went to the Science Center yesterday. We were able to go for free since we're members of the Zoo. Thank goodness because it's not worth the $17 they charge you to get in. The girls and Kevin in front of the big blue crab.

Anna playing in one of the water displays.

Francesca lying on a bed of nails.

Fun Around the House

Francesca helped Kevin clean up the yard yesterday. She had more fun playing in the leaves.

Francesca and Anna snuggling. They really do love each other so much.

Some video of the girls playing in the leaves and at home.

Christmas with the Woody's

We had a nice long weekend with the South Carolina Woody's (Aunt Kelley, Uncle Tony, Caleb, and Katherine). The girls had so much fun with their cousins. Katherine, Francesca, and Ms. Ali making bracelets. (that's a look of concentration, not a mean face)

Anna handing out a present.

Uncle Bryan and Ms. Ali gave Anna a vaccum. The best gift ever, she cleans for hours.

Grandma, Pop Pop, and the kids.

Woody family

The girls got matching pj's for Christmas.

We went ice skating in Glen Burnie and had so much fun. Francesca was on her own by the 3rd time around.

Kevin and I went to the Ravens game this past Sunday. We had fun spending some much needed adult time together. Here are some pictures of the tailgate.
