Catching up from Christmas

We'll start with some pretty old photos. I tried a few times to post Christmas photos on this blog but it didn't work properly so I posted them on Facebook. I'll try again soon to get some more Christmas ones up. These first ones start with the end of our vacation in Florida, which was so cold it left us scrambling to find things to do inside. We found this place called Jungle Bounce, which had a bunch of inflatable bounce house type things to play on in one big indoor area. I guess I shouldn't complain because when we got back to Walden, the temperatures were getting down to negative 22 almost every night for a week. Our highs were sometimes 1 degree. So we've been staying inside a lot here as well, but it is finally getting up into the 30s again. Now we are working on potty training, which Elise is excelling and teaching Linnaea a trick or two.



Showing off our new sweaters and hats that we got for Christmas.





Getting a ride around Grandma and Grandpa's house.











Linnaea bouncing around at Jungle Bounce.





Elise was only happy if there were no other kids around to scare her.





Elise goes down a small slide.





Linnaea climbs up the wall in the obstacle course.





The girls go up the giant slide. This slide scared the heck out of me the first time Linnaea went down it, but she immediately hopped up and went again. Elise really wouldn't do it by herself until it was almost time to go. She did a great job of working up the courage to go on it!





Linnaea comes down the giant slide.





Linnaea takes a picture of herself.





The girls snuggle up to listen to "Little Puppy Lost."





Elise is obsessed with crossing her eyes. It makes Linnaea almost fall off her chair laughing.





We made an indoor snowman with boxes. The girls had the best time dragging him around the house.





Daddy is playing a game on the Wii Fit and Linnaea is imitating.
