Mall of America

We took the kids to the Mall of America to spend their Christmas money.  Charlie's favorite part was going on rides and Claire's favorite part was going to the baby store (American Girl).  We had lunch at the Rainforest Cafe and went to the Lego Store too.

A Visit to the Farm

Charlie, Claire and I went to the farm for a visit.  The kids were super excited to go since it's been so long since we've been there.  They love their cousins so much!

Jarrett gave Charlie a couple rides on the snowmobile.

Cute Little Mama

I couldn't not take a picture of this.  She looks like a tired new mama.  So cute!

Winter and Summer in a Day

We took the kids to SocialIce to look at all the ice sculptures.  We even got to see a worker finish the last piece.  He said they had been working for 5 days to get them all done.

After that, we came home and grilled and had a picnic in the family room.  We are ready for some nice weather around here!

Claire: I cold!  I cold!
Charlie: I will smile if I get to see someone cutting ice.

Valentine's Day

We had pink milk, a heart pizza and strawberry ice cream to celebrate.  We also made a Smores snack mix with Valentine M&M's.  Easy peasy!

Here's Claire last year and this year.  She gets roses from her Dada every Valentine's Day.

Celebrating Valentine's

Nick and I spent the day in the cities touring the Surly Brewery and checking out the Indeed Brewery.  It was a fun day!

Y-Tots Party

Charlie's preschool had a family pizza and pool party last night.  We went to Cherry Berry for a little treat after it was over.
