snowy day!

It’s been a while since I posted to our blog. Christmas was busy and I just felt like letting everything go. Ingrid and I flew to California for two weeks, and Andrew joined us a week later. We stayed with my sister Tana again. Ingrid spent some time with Tana, chatting and reading books. She played fairy with Nicky and just hung out with the boys when they were watching football. When Andrew arrived, we drove to a big house in Anaheim to meet up with the rest of my family. There we spent five days, three of them at Disneyland.

The days at Disneyland were long and busy, but fun. Ingrid’s favorite rides were Dumbo, the Tiki Room, and Small World. We all loved the Midway ride at California Adventures. I got to ride Space Mountain for the first time in like ten years!

I must have been good this year because I got some great presents. Some earrings and a necklace, a heart monitor for my runs, a warm fuzzy jacket, workout gear, books, and more. Ingrid got lots of Legos, costumes, glasses for her kids’ meals, books, games, clothes. We’ve been playing Eye Spy nonstop and Ingrid consistently beats us! Same with her new Memory game.

Now we’re back in St. Louis enjoying some snowy weather. Ingrid and Andrew built a cute little snowman on the picnic table. His eyes are made of screws. Ingrid has been asking to make a snowman for months, so I’m happy we were able to do it today finally.

The set was a Xmas present from mommy and daddy. Daddy is letting Ingrid do all the work. I love to see them playing with Legos.
