Gemma plays Wii

Gemma is very observant. Even when you think she is not looking, she is. She watched several people play wii. When she finally got her hands on a controller, she knew just what to do!

Sledding!!!

The temperatures were pretty cold most of the time during our Christmas visit to Minnesota. One Christmas Day, the temperatures were much warmer so we took the kids out sledding. We only have a picture of Amelia sledding with Uncle Mike, but don't worry. All the kids had a chance to sled and play in the snow!

Minnesota snow

Sometimes you just love snow so much you want to lay down and roll around in it!

Kiss face

Gemma has been making this face recently that I call either kiss face or duck lips. She pulled it out for dinner with my family. She got enough laughs that she did it over and over and over and over.....

Lucky hat

William got Uncle Mike to play Jenga with him over Christmas. Mike found his lucky hat, which William found hilarious. That is until he got jealous and wanted the lucky hat for himself.

Sweetness

We were visiting with Grandpa and the kids hopped up on the couch. I peeked at them around the corner and found this:
William and Amelia snuggled up together and William reading the book to Amelia.

These two love each other deeply, but that doesn't mean they don't fight. Sometimes I feel like they always fight. These sweet little moments are what remind me about how good they can be to each other.
