Snow day...

On Wednesday Tink had a snow day with Mommy. We stayed in our PJ's all day, ate hot dogs with ketchup for lunch, received a special Valentine's Day package from Grammy and Papa (thanks!), and saw two cardinals having a snack at the bird feeder.

While dancing with her new froggy from Grammy and Papa that plays "You're So Unbelievable," our girlie delivered a classic line. To set the stage, she was dancing on the rocking chair in her bedroom.

Mommy: "Ryan, please be careful."

Ryan: "Relax Mom!" with little hand raised in my direction for emphasis

Mommy: Laughing hysterically

Ryan: "Relax Mom!" this time just to get a laugh...

A long weekend...

Our girlie had a fun three day weekend. She was the perfect party guest at her friend Nola's 2nd birthday--running around the Little Gym like a maniac, eating four pieces of pizza and a cupcake, and even asking politely for a yellow balloon. Today she spent MLK with Daddy--they watched Alice in Wonderland, played in the snow with Pop, ate chicken nuggets and french fries at McDonald's, and even visited with cousin Sophie.
Here's our Tink in her pink sweatsuit coloring Cinderella orange and taking her baby for a backpack ride to the kitchen.

Tink celebrated the newest cousin in the family today with her own special rendition of "Happy Birthday!" Mandy and Ryan welcomed Jayce Ryan into the world--weighing in at 6 lbs. 10 oz. and 21" long. We can't wait to meet the little guy--congrats!

Happy New Year!

This past week we had a special new year visit from Grammy--her new name as christened by our girlie. Ryan and Grammy made reindeer cookies, threw coins in a water fountain, drank hot chocolate, dressed up like Cinderella, danced in circles to Victor Vito, practiced cutting paper with scissors, and ate pizza in the city. Thanks for a great visit Grammy--we miss you already!
