Winter Writings!

 Monday

 Madi practicing her reading for Uncle Jacob's wedding while I fix her hair.

A Lovely Love Story!

 Tuesday

 Running off some energy before the Bishops pick her up for school!

 Practicing her piece for the Wee Folk Recital in March and her Spring Recital in May.

 If I lived in a Snow Globe . . .

 I finally tried Stitch Fix and was skeptical.

I ended up keeping everything and love it!  Can't wait to do i again!

 Wednesday

 A lady from the SPCA where we adopted GV contacted me asking how she was doing since we've had her almost a year.  She asked for pictures too.  So I snapped a quick picture and sent it.

 My Snow Day . . . Madi sure is lucky to have such a great Daddy!

 Thursday

 After tumbling we met the Daniels at Blue Sky for dinner.

 Friday

We are looking forward to some events this weekend!

More Weekend Fun!

 Maci stayed the day with us since she was going to a birthday party for a mutual friend. 

 You would have thought she won the lottery with how big she smiled when we asked her to push the cart and help us shop!

 It's United's 100th birthday so they were celebrating by handing out cupcakes to everyone!

 Grandma stopped by for a quick game of Clue!

 Then we headed to Claire's birthday party at Blazing Bouncers.

 Madi spent most of the time climbing up the tower.

 And Maci spent the whole time running around with the birthday girl Claire!

 One last slide before time to head home.

 Madi loves sleeping in our room every chance she gets.  Thankfully, she prefers the floor so we let her usually one weekend night join us.  GV ran right in Saturday morning to join her!

Sunday was a fun day of church, lunch with family and friends at Ruby Tequila's and a quiet dinner just us 3. 

Weekend to Weekend!

 This stuffed animal kitty from Grandma has gone everywhere with Madison. 
She was even a "fuzzy buddy" at school one day this week!

 We loved watching Tucker's indoor soccer game.  Seeing him as goalie was fun too!

 We all celebrated with a fun family dinner at Blue Sky!

 We finally found a denim dress similar to mine for Madi at Gap Factory a few weeks ago.

 She was excited to wear it to church and curl her hair (even though it's naturally curly, don't understand that one!).

 Monday morning cuddles!

 Another "like mom" purchase.  

Madi's wanted a grey vest like mine so it was finally time to wear her vest on Monday!

 These old photos crack me up.  The look of concentration on Madi's face is all her Daddy!

 We met the Bishop girls at Cup of Yo after school on Friday for a fun treat!

 Then the cousins spent the night with us Friday so Aunt Shelle and Uncle Cody could go to dinner and a movie with friends. 

Madi taught Maci a song from her piano book.

 There was lots of this at first . . .

 So we broke out a game of Clue!

 Sweet Cousins

Sweet memories!

Back at it again!

 Madi and I learned how to make paper dolls thanks to Youtube!

GV licking on Noodle. 

 Sweet but strangest dog ever!

 Madi decorated our house with a 2016 sign!

 She also wrote a poem "Twas the night before New Years!"

 Madi spent Saturday with her cousins. 

 They had fun rolling down the hill on their driveway!

 Matt and I enjoyed a movie date to see Star Wars (second time for him!) and date night to Abuelo's and shopping for new curtains for our living room.

 Sunday after church, Maisen came to play games . . .

 And sled out on the snow with Madi!

 Monday was orientation for our new student teachers so Madi spent the day with Grandma.  They took Sisse to walk at the park and Madi stood on the frozen water!

 Frozen yogurt at Menchie's with friends to start our weekend off right!

It was a fast week back to our routine!
