Shake Your Groove Thang!

We were getting ready to leave for church one Wednesday night and I was trying to get a picture of the girls. I had been playing music on the playbook all day, so it was still playing as I was trying to take my picture. I should know better. Both Anastyn and Natalie love to dance and can't resist a good song on the radio. I didn't get a picture of both girls together actually looking, but they were having a good time. Anastyn posed a couple times but pretty much danced the entire time! I love the look on her face as she is dancing. Natalie was pretty excited, too, and just kept running around Anastyn in circles. I really, really love these girls!

Ink Pen Mustaches

That's right, who can resist a nice ink-pen mustache. I guess they are just trying to be like their Papa's.

These girls love to get their hands on an ink pen. It doesn't matter how hard I try to hide them or keep them put away, one always surfaces and lands in the hands of a cute little girl! Natalie wasn't too happy about having this moment documented.

A day or so later, Anastyn happened upon an ink pen and decided she didn't want to be left out! She was much more willing to let me document her silly face.

No, they weren't really trying to have mustaches, but how do little ones ALWAYS end up with ink around their mouths. I assume Natalie was probably trying to chew on it, I have no clue how Anastyn managed to have ink all over! Oh, how we love these sweet, silly, girls!

Snow Day

A few weeks back when it was much colder out, we got a small amount if snow. Anastyn has been anxiously awaiting snow since Christmas. She reeeaaaally wants to build a snowman, but we decided there just wasn't enough snow this time to make our own Frosty. So we bundled up and made snow angels, crawled around, and took short rides around the yard on the sled.



Anastyn all bundled up and ready to get outside in the snow.

Not so excited about me taking her picture.

The girls waiting for me to release them into the snow.

Making snow angels

Natalie had a little trouble walking since I had her so bundled up so she just decided to crawl instead.

 

She actually really liked the snow...until she faceplanted in it.

It was fun, but too cold to be out in for too long, so we came back in

 and made some nice warm hot chocolate!

Natalie's First Year

Originally, I was going to take this in the same place every month and see how she had grown and make this really awesome collage. It turned into just getting a picture wherever I could and hoping she would somewhat cooperate. But they are from each month and at least show how she changed over the year.
