One more catch up blog post... better late than never. It was truly a good start to the year! The girls enjoyed their New Year's Eve sleepover "party" at Grandma's (with party blowers, crackers and paper hats), and Mommy & Daddy enjoyed hosting friends to welcome in 2017. And we got snow!! (Enough to go sledding at least.) Fun times.

| NYE with these sillies. |
 |
| In love with smores. |
 |
| It is always hard saying goodbye to the Christmas tree. Our tradition of putting up the Charley and Lily shop always helps a little bit though. :) |
 |
| Nothing better than getting to take a Christmas gift card to Target and having total say in picking out a present! |
 |
| Lily's class frog Ribbit came home with us finally!! Lil felt super lucky he came home with us on our snow weekend. |
 |
| All bundled up. |
 |
| Our new fish! Fishy, Clara, Carson and Elena. |
 |
| The first flakes. :) |
 |
| Hot cocoa after round one of playing outside. |
 |
| Such fun sledding!! |
 |
| We even made it to Ed's with the girls in the double stroller after sledding. We warmed up, had lunch, then trekked back with one more sledding pit stop. |
 |
| Play date with Lily's sweet school friend Emma Cate. |
 |
| Mommy Charley lunch date at Mellow Mushroom. |
 |
| Claire and Moana enjoying the play house. :) |

| Lily and Clara getting outfitted at their African dance class. |
 |
| Lil made me so proud. She worked so hard... 75 minute dance class! |
 |
| They tried to have a "sleepover" at nap time. One of them fell asleep. Guess who. Hint... not the little one. ;) |
 |

 |
| Love. |
 |
| Our fishy Carson went up to fishy heaven pretty quickly. Worried how Lil would take it but she handled it well. She made this sign "I love you fishy Carson." Then it helped she saw a fish just like Carson at the pet store aquarium and decided that tank WAS fishy heaven, and she saw fishy Carson all better! |
 |
| Big girl mani with Mommy. Sparkly gold. |
 |
| Rapunzel and her frying pan. Love it! |
 |
| Grandma's crowns for the girls were a hit... almost as much as the ones for Rapunzel and Flynn. :) |
 |
