Trampoline and December Splashing

Mark and Laura gave a little trampoline to the girls for their birthday. It is pretty amazing. Leif loves it too. It's actually a perfect height for him to practice climbing, which he desperately wants to do. The girls are starting both gymnastics (thanks to Nana and Papa and Aunt Kerry!) and pre-ballet in January. We're all about getting that energy out. Also, we got good deals on ballet outfits on Cyber Monday. Just tried them on, oh man so cute. Will get pictures when we actually go for the first time.

So Signe has a little beanie baby cat named Snips that she loves. It's her favorite and has been for several months. But on a couple of occasions she had trouble getting to sleep at night and at naptime, and claimed that Snips was keeping her up. So we offered to take her. Now, Snips is sleeping in my and Kurt's bed every night. She doesn't want to cuddle her most special stuffy because she is allegedly keeping her up. I thought it was just hilarious. Kurt did have the idea that possibly the sound of the beans actually had kept her up. I dunno, but either way, it's cute.

Leif is very persistent. If there is something he wants, he's going to get it. In a good natured way, he will keep trying and trying. He also loves bamming. He'll take most anything and slam it against the ground, table, or his booster seat tray. He is crawling super fast, pulling up all over the place, and can occasionally sit back down again after standing around. He's starting to move along furniture, etc, too. One of his favorite things is when the girls take a bath, he loves standing and grabbing at bubbles and toys. He laughs a bunch. Happy boy. We're just hoping he sleeps through the night again soon and we will be a happy AND well-rested family ;-)

Signe loves making multimedia creations






You can see our tree, still bagged, behind Freya. I forgot the camera to document searching for and cutting down the tree, and seeing the reindeer

Turns out a broccoli stump is a great teether

Wouldn't be a bad little selfie if it wasn't so overexposed. I like Freya's expression







The girls had a splashing adventure. The trouble with a splashing adventure in December is that the temperature, while above freezing, is usually just barely above. And so they splashed and had fun and ran, and then suddenly were SO COLD. Luckily we were just a few houses down, so we hurried home and I stuck them in a hot bath, and that day was not the day that Mama let her girls get frostbitten
