Elayna- mom, are ninjas real?

Today I was at my parents house. Annalisa was in the kitchen, so I told her to come over into the living room. I told her to come over so that grandpa could eat her belly. She pulled up her shirt and held her shirt with her chin. Then she walked over, grinning the whole way.

Mom was talking to Katie, and telling her that she had saved some of her drawings. Katie looked at her, aghast, and said "you threw some away?"

Katie loves to hold and help with Annalisa. Seems like Anna might be a little too big for Katie though.
I think that Katie has figured out I'll take pictures of them cuddling, so she does it a lot.
Cute winter hats. Katie likes having her hair like this, mostly because she can do it herself.
Elayna and Gracie are cousins, but I think they could pass for sisters.
They have so much fun together.
Annalisa wanted her hair done differently, so we tried this. I think it is really cute, and it keeps her hair out of her face, which is such a good thing.
One of the ways the girls play with their dad. They also try to push him off the couch, tickle him, wrestle, tackle, etc. They love their Dad so much!
Katie went to chess club this morning. I kept trying to take her, but week after week, I would forget. So this morning, she woke up, ate, got dressed, and did her hair before 8, so I took her. :) Determined little girl.
I was reading a book with Elayna . One of the characters needed to learn how to swim. Elayna said "that's so easy!"

Katie loves this Butterfly shirt. She wanted me to do her hair like this "because it made her look like a butterfly". She is pretending she is flying as a butterfly in this picture.
Elayna, Gracie, and Sadie. These 3 are such good friends. And cousins. My daughters aren't quite sure what the difference between friends and cousins is. Their friends are all their cousins too!
Posing at my parent's house. Mom and Dad had some extra flowers laying around, so Katie and Elayna picked them up and needed to have a picture with them.
These are some dresses I picked up after Christmas. They are such beautiful girls.
Showing off their special earrings that Irma gave them for Christmas.
Katie was standing at the counter. She said she needed to practice standing. I asked why. She said she had to stand for 3 days in class because she fell off her chair 3 times one day.
Elayna was saying that if they talk to much in class, Miss Lacee says they are being chatty, and they have to go sit in the thinking chair. I asked if she had to sit it in lots, and she said not lots, but she does have to sit in it.

Katie, relaxing on her Dad. It looks pretty uncomfortable for them both, but Katie thought it was fun.
Reading books with Dad.
Cuddling together on a pile of blankets
Clarissa (Ryan's sister) gave the girls these adorable glove and hat sets. They love them!
Annalisa loves to jump in her crib, as you can see.
