February (Part 1) Catching up....visitors from the north

Uncle Wayne and Aunt Ellie came to visit us next.

They needed to get out of the cold. They had fair weather

when they were here...but at least no snow!

One day we went to Busch Gardens...it was a blast!

Uncle Wayne is a lot like Daddy....

a big kid inside.

They both love books just like we do....

They also love to play...

We sure miss them...



January Part 4 Let the visitors begin....

At the end of January Grandma Frances

came for a visit with Cousin Valerie.

We had the most fun.  Valerie brought her dog!

We went to see them at Uncle Eddies house.

We played outside and had lunch there!

We barely made it out of the driveway

before crashing.

Grandma brought the cold weather with her

from New Jersey. Valerie made us matching scarves

and purses.  They are so cute and soft.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.....

January Part 3...fun times

January was a lot of fun. We did lots of ordinary things

like rake leaves for Dad, take a bath, play inside,

have friends over, ride bikes and go to Sunday school.

But ordinary things are extraordinary when you're

almost two.



Catching up..(.Part two) January fun

The first weekend of every month Largo Train rides

are open to the public at Largo Central Park.  

We went this month to ride the train and explore the

awesome park.

  This is the train. The ride is about 20 minutes long.

We rode with Mom and Dad.  The tunnels were a

little scary for Lily but we all had fun.

The park is great. Lots of cool toys to climb

on.  We had lunch on the grass afterwards.

Still catching up..January

 One morning we woke up to find this awesome

playhouse on our patio. One of mom's twin friends gave it

to us....we felt like the luckiest girls on earth.

We have had the BEST times in this house.

This house has a door bell and a phone.

Dad even hung a wind chime in the window.

Our babies love it.

Emma loves to cook.

New Years!

Christmas TIme

Christmas was really awesome this year. 

We are starting to understand what it is all about. 

 Dad and Mom tried to get a cute photo for the

Christmas card...but we did not fully cooperate.

Finally Daddy decided he would try.

Below are some of his favorites.

 This was taken Christmas Eve at Church.  We got to sit with

Mom and Dad for the Children's service. We cried

when the show was over!

 Christmas morning was great.  Santa left a cool airport and lots of

other stuff for us to play with .  We stayed in our pj's all day.

 Some of the most fun was rolling in the wrapping paper

after we opened a package.

Grandma Fillmore gave us these cute trikes...Mom

let us ride them in the house to practice.

 Then back to rolling in the tissue paper....

We love these big blocks...Dad helped us build really tall towers.

       Santa also brought us two pop up books...

Mine has penguins in it.

 Emma got a Vet kit. 

She took everyone's temp in their ear.

                                                 Then she checked their heart and gave us
                                                            all some shots of medicine.

Grandma Hoffman came over real early to help us with our

stockings and have fun too. We sure kept her busy.

                                                Lily tries her new pants on right over her pj's.

    Lily eats her Christmas dinner wearing all of her

new slap bracelets (the obsession begins)

Emma enjoys dinner after a long day of playing.
