Cheerleading

Alexa cheered for her first basketball game this weekend. She did a really good job. We were all watching from the stands (mommy was helping). She remembered all the cheers and was smiling the whole time. She loves cheering!

More parties

Daddy and Alexa went to a roller skating party. This was Alexa's first time skating in the rink. Daddy actually had to put on skates and help out. I am sure it was a sight. Mommy had Madelynn at an ice skating party at the same time. Madelynn was a good sport and tried with the help of the birthday mom. She did well for her first time-Mommy decided I would hurt more than I would help, so I chose not to put on skates. I'll add pictures of the ice skating as soon as I get some (my camera battery died on the first picture).

SNOW!!!

My kids think as soon as they see a slow flake falling we should go sledding and build a snowman. They have never seen a real snow fall and I keep hoping for at least one, so we can really have fun in the snow. For now, we have our couple of inches and they think it's great. Mommy thinks it is an awful lot of work for a little bit of snow!

Cinderella

The girls spend a lot of time dressing up, usually in some sort of frilly dresses. I guess Gregory thinks it looks like fun, because he now loves dressing up like Cinderella. My dad bought him a big football jersey that we told him was a princess dress. He tried it for a couple of days, but decided he wanted the real Cinderella dress. He looks so cute. Someday I can show these pictures to his wife!

Tea Time

Alexa attended her first tea party. Her friend, Kelsey, had a tea party for her birthday and the girls have lunch and tea with their American Girl dolls. Alexa loved it! She also got to have a sleepover at Kelsey's house that night. It was her first solo sleepover (the weekend before there were several girls which was a little easier). She had a great time and only a few tears when she decided she was tired and needed mommy. After a phone conversation and a little TLC from Kelsey's mom, she settled down and spent the night. She must have had a great time, because she did not want to come home the next day!
