Snow!!!

Maggie played in the snow for the first time! Last winter she was too little but we still tried. And this winter, she's been dying for snow but we didn't have any. That is, until yesterday when it dumped!

All she really likes to do, is eat the snow. This is great- except on day 2 and 3 when the snow is getting dirty. I caught her too late, eating snow off the tire today- gross!

Oh- we have been a little bored with Brad already in busy season. So we ventured out to "shadow stories" at the library. We were 2 of 4 people there because of the snow storm. But it was tons of fun!

New Year's

It was fun to come back to Chicago and hang out with the Callisters on New Year's. Maggie wishes she could just live at their house with all the girls.....


Folding her arms and shutting her eyes tight for prayers.

Christmas

We had so much fun for Christmas. We hopped in the car and made the quick, 12-hour drive to Winston-Salem to see this little guy...Christmas was so relaxing- thanks to our hosts, the Fifes!
Maggie LOVED Charlie. She was much more gentle with him than I thought she would be. It was really cute.



She liked wearing Mr. Potato Head's glasses. haha



We all had a blast- Maggie LOVED having space and having her Dad around all day. They went to the Children's museum and the park while Cami and I got to shop and hang out. Can't wait til the next trip. Maggie keeps asking to go back to Cami's house....

Maggie turns 2

I know everyone says this but I seriously can't believe it has been 2 years.

Just Because

Maggie has been loving to help me cook lately. So one night, Brad was coming home late, so we made mini cupcakes. She loved the frosting- she ate the tops off of them, but not the cake.

Sometimes Maggie likes to shut herself in my closet. She plays with my shoes. After a while she calls for me to come open the door. One time I opened the door to find this- she must have found my winter stash.

I wanted to see her eyes.

When Dad gives her a bath, they style her hair with the blow dryer after. They both love it- I guess Brad is jealous of her beautiful locks.
