Science

Emma is still taking science lessons (and says they are her favorite class, much to her daddy's delight).  This session is all about farms and farm animals.  Here is Emma planting her flower garden:

 Sarah getting in on the action playing with the spoons and eggs:

 Emma decorating a paper with the life cycle of an egg (that is her teacher Miss Stephanie helping her):

 Listening to story time:

 And here is Emma's rooster.  This is apparently what happens when you use strange chemicals on your farm:

Giddyup!

Legoland

We visited Legoland when we were in Chicago.  We had such a great time.  Arguably, Daddy had more fun than Emma when it came to actually building stuff, but Emma had fun too!  :-)

Sarah had a lot of fun, too!

New trick

Sarah has a new trick - she has started smacking her lips.  She seems to really like hamming it up, too!

Bath time!

Grandma really enjoys giving the grandkids a bath.  Sarah had a great time, too!

(Well, maybe not always.)

But she does love getting snuggled in a towel!

Chicago visit

We were in Chicago last weekend, and had a lot of fun.  Emma helped Grandpa make pizzas!

And Sarah got to spend some time hanging out with Grandpa as well.

Grandpa and Grandpa had a sleepover with ALL of the grandkids, and Emma and Sarah had a ton of fun!

Alexis even fed Sarah, and did a great job!

And Uncle Scott stopped by to spend some time with his nieces and nephew as well!

We had a ton of fun in Chicago!  It was great to see everybody!

Tree trimming

Because we were in Chicago for Thanksgiving, we decorated our tree a little early this year.  Emma was a huge helper:

Handing lights:

 Hanging ornaments:

 Helping daddy:

Even Sarah got in on the action:

 Boy is the tree in trouble if Sarah manages to catch it:

When Emma was young, we "stuffed" her in the stocking.  Turns out that Sarah is a little too big for it already:

But Emma found an inventive way to get in the stockings:

Then we finally got around to getting them on the fireplace:
