Cruisin'

We FINALLY got to ride our bikes today. It stopped raining long enough for us to ride out the street. We did very well, Daddy said. Belle has a hard time stopping using her hand to brake, but she can stop by pushing backwards on her pedals. I showed Daddy how well I can stop too.

Then it started raining and we had to come inside to watch Cloudy with Meatballs. We bought the movie yesterday with our Target giftcard from Christmas. And we've already watched it 3 times!

Rudolph The-Red-Nosed Reindeer

We're eagerly awaiting Rudolph, his pals and Santa. We can ha

rdly contain our excitement, which unfortunately is getting us into a bit of trouble!

First Snow of Winter 2009

"Away to the window I flew like a flash, Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash. The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below..."

Oh what joy! We woke to a wintry wonderland Saturday morning. There was a whole bunch of snow out my window! Lilly and I couldn't wait to get outside to play in the snow. We made a snowman (Frost the snowman), threw snowballs and went sledding in the backyard. It was so much fun. Lilly's hands got cold, though, and she wanted to go inside before too long. It was so much fun -- even though we had no electricity. We went to Granny's to spend the night because she had electricity and we could watch movies there.

It was a lot of fun until we came home today and found the house in a big mess. Ellie! Ellie had made a big mess. There were muddy pawprints all over the house. We had to help Mommy clean the house this afternoon. Boy, was it hard. We were happy when we could help wrap Christmas presents and decorate sugar cookies. Only 4 more days until Santa comes. We can't wait!
