Mudballs

Serena is my outside girl!  She often gets her snow stuff on and goes outside and will wander around playing by herself for a long time.  Even the lack of snow does not stop her.

Cuddle Time


Aleeya is copying how Serena always lays with Spencer, so that I will take a picture.  They pretend to be asleep.  So precious!

Decorations

Serena took this picture, but I thought I would use it since I love having these pictures in the kitchen. The background for the pictures of the girls is their lovey blankets.  I have also updated all of the photo frames in the house with new pictures.  This is quite an accomplishment because the last picture in the 8X10 frames was of when Aleeya was 6 months old.

Teeth Cleaning

Carter, Serena, Aleeya and I all had teeth cleaning appointments.  Everyone does great, even though Aleeya doesn't look too thrilled. 
Both Carter and Serena each had one cavity, between their teeth, so I bought those floss picks so that we can improve on that. 
The surface teeth looked great, which is good because they all brush their teeth by themselves.
Serena has already had her cavity filled and she did great, they didn't even use the laughing gas.

Pictures of Perfection!

 Spencer at Chuck E. Cheese
 Serena is so thoughtful, he was awake when she put this on, and don't worry I took it off quickly!  To his credit, Spencer is SO good at handling the "love" of his sisters.  His calm personality is a blessing.
I am addicted to holding this beautiful child.  Sometimes it is like I can feel my heart growing bigger and I feel desperate to enjoy these moments.

Serena's Preschool Program

 Serena getting ready for her preschool program.  They sang all of the songs they have been learning this year.  I love watching Serena sing, she does a great job of staying focused on the teacher and doing the actions.  Many of the songs had props and she displayed them so well.
 Serena with her teacher, Ms. Sonja.  I have been really impressed with how kind she is and she really is good at keeping Serena on task with positive direction.
Serena received a special ribbon at the end of the performance for doing a good job!

Chuck E. Cheese



A favorite of the field trips is Chuck E. Cheese.  I use a coupon and then save half of the tokens for another time so that we can go more frequently.  As the kids get older it is easier to let them go from game to game on their own and I just follow around, we go during the week so it is usually pretty empty.
