First Snow of the New Year

Hurray for Moisture!!!  We had a nice little snowfall, so of course, the girls wanted to go out and play in it.  My angels had fun making snow angels and a snowman.  It was their great idea to use the frozen blueberries and carrot to make the snowman's face. (Unfortunately, as the blueberries melted, they left a purplish trail down his face and neck that was not nearly as attractive.)

We also enjoyed a small snowball fight!

The Angels Beckon Me Song and a Silly Dance

The other day, the girls were sitting at the kitchen table when they asked me if we could sing "the song about angels from church."  Not having any clue which song they wanted, I asked for more information.  They said, "You know mom, the one that goes 'the angels beckon me from heavens open Lord, and I can't feel at home in this door any more.'"  Even with the missed words, their sweet little voices singing the song made it instantly recognizable.  They wanted to sing "This World is Not My Home."  So we sang it, and have been singing it ever since!  They sing it loud and proud every time it is lead at worship (even requesting it when the opportunity arises), and many times at home since.

The second part of the video is a silly little dance they love to do any time someone is willing to watch.

Off to a Great Start (Almost)

 2013 is off to an awesome start, for the most part.  Unfortunately, Emma and Ella caught a bug from some cousins in Kansas City, so we started out with some sickness.  Thankfully, they are feeling much better now, and we are back to having fun!

When the girls wanted different colored boots, I was concerned they would fight over them or be sad they didn't match.  Have no fear, momma, we'll just wear one of each:
