Snow time. There was only a dusting, but I figured the way the winter was going I better make the most of it in case this was the only white stuff we'd see all season.

Julia and Kelly practicing their mothering skills before the arrival of sissy Liel in March.

Just hanging out in Mommy's kitchen together.

(Julia's pants got dirty at the park this afternoon, I don't usually dress her this clashingly:)

This age difference is so great. Julia and Kelly are really starting to play with each other and enjoy it. I can't tell you how much I enjoy hearing them laugh and play together, exchanging little noises and words. Julia and I have even heard Kelly say some pretty impressive things (because she's immitating her big sis). My girls are so great!

Friday night we all went to the mall, and bought Julia her first set of sheets for her new bed. She just loves the colorful dragonflies. Even though her bed doesn't actually arrive until early February she got to sleep with the pillow case and we let her sleep with the sheets too (for a night, there is only so much room in her bed with her 5 blankets, 3 piggy pillows, 1 comforter and regular pillow).

This tunnel was the best $25 I've ever spent. My friend Lisa has one for her kids and our girls just loved it one day when we visited. Now are girls have one and they just love crawling through it and over each other and rolling around in this 6 ft colorful tunnel.

Dinner at the Sakai's (My best friend Kelly's home). Seen here are Chris and Kelly's three lovely children (Gabrielle, Katelyn and Kyle) along with our Julia. God has blessed us with great friends!

Thank you Nana for this amazing Kitchen set and accessories. The girls enjoy it every day. Among their favorite activities are putting fruit in and out of the frig, washing dishes in the sink and backing cakes and cookies in the oven.

And here is our sassy little Kelly enjoying the new kitchen from Nana.
