January weekend

It's snowed every week this month. This last storm we got at least a foot and a half...on top of at least another half a foot of snow. Helena has been begging to make a snow person, and this last batch of snow was the best. Yesterday she also had her "hip hop" dance class.





Helena is all ready for her dance class




The snowlady




Who is that watching from the window while Daddy is taking pictures?




It's Mommy, Helena, and Jonathan!

1st snow 2011

We can't brag and say that we got a ton of snow, but it was enough to keep the kids (and Mommy and Daddy) home from school and work.




Helena desperately wanted to make a snowman, but the snow was too soft to mold. Mommy devised a better way to make a snowman (and less work). This one represented Helena.




And this one represented Jonathan




Jonathan happy to be outside




Snowman and snow angel




Jonathan getting some shoveling in




Daddy's work crew





One final picture before heading inside

Rub-a-dub-dub....

...Jonathan's in the tub




Jonathan distracted by the camera while he is bathing




Jonathan now posing while in the tub





This picture did not fit with the tub theme, and I was too lazy to put it in a separate posting. It is good to know, though, that Jonathan will come visit Daddy if he is ever behind bars.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Daddy can look silly when: (1) it is his birthday; and (2) he is holding a cute child.




It wouldn't be a birthday without a homemade cake by Sara




Trying to think of a wish quickly before Helena blows out the candles




Sara bought Jonathan a cute fireman's shirt to go along with his fireman's hat and riding firetruck. Watch out FDNY!

Sweet and sassy for the new year!

Helena needed to get dolled up for our fancy New Year's Eve celebration at Pizzeria Uno. She had a fancy maincure and pedicure (courtesy of a gift card she received from Auntie Amanda and Uncle Blair for her birthday). Hope that everybody had an enjoyable and safe new year's celebration.
