Brody and Aubree with Grandma Ann on her birthday!

Brody woke up too early and fell asleep watching cartoons on Saturday!

Aubree is ready for her dance performance!

Brody showing us how much he loves corn...note the kernel in his hair!

Aubree wanted curls, so we put rollers in after her bath.

Brody's newest trick - smiling on cue!

Sledding and a few more snow pictures

Aubree by all the snow by our front door.

Aubree is ready to go sledding at Bel Air! We left Brody with Grandpa Tom and Grandma Ann - it was pretty cold out with the wind and he's finally feeling better, so he didn't get to come along.

Sledding down with Dad - each time they came down, she yelled "Again, Again!"

This was when she was yelling "Again, Again!"

A couple of snow days!

We've had a lot of snow the last few weeks - enough snow that we didn't have school on Friday or today (Monday). Mike's work follows the public school schedule for snow days, so we were all home together for these snow days. Here are a few pictures from the last few days and a picture from Allison's (my brother Jared's little girl) baptism on Saturday night. I also added a few videos of some of Brody's latest tricks. We love how he says "I love you" with such force! Aubree had a blast on our "days off". We read a lot, took naps, baked, and did some Pixos!

Brody fell asleep while eating his lunch.

Licking the spoon full of Cool Whip after I made a cake. He loved it!

Our new niece and cousin - Allison Mae

My brother and his wife, Jared and Jamie, had a little girl on Christmas Day! Allison Mae and her parents made the trip from MN to Minot today for baptism and a baby shower here on Saturday. We met the precious little girl tonight...here are a few pictures.

Allison making a little pouty face - she is such a good baby...and so cute!

Here are two pictures of Aubree holding her new little cousin. Aubree thinks Allison is very cute and very smart!
