Last week we went to Las Vegas for Dad's birthday. I forgot how nice it was to feel warm! Then we came back to the snow. Grant was happy as usual and loved playing with all of Avarie's toys. Lucky for me, Jeff decided not to come, so I could get some shopping in. We found this new shopping center called Town Square. It was heaven for me...a brand new outdoor mall with every store you could want. I could have spent the whole weekend there!

Grace had her kindergarten program last week. Those kids worked so hard and knew a ton of songs. We were proud of her, and Grace is proud of the fact that she is the tallest in the class.
One of the songs they sang was "The sun'll come out tomorrow" from Annie. Grace had never seen that movie, so we rented it and watched it on the trip. Grace has always broken out in song whenever she feels like it. Her latest vocal choice is opera music. I know, lucky us! When I've asked her to clean her room, I usually hear the singing and realize she's looking at herself in the mirror rather than cleaning up. Girls will be girls.

I had to put the picture of Grant-man on. Cade has come up with most of his nicknames...Grant-man, Chico-boy (I don't know where he gets it), G-man, etc. Grant's favorite place to be is at the island counter with food in his mouth. He eats EVERYTHING! Some of his new favorites are bananas, chicken, and lunch meat. He does have to work on keeping his sumo wrestling figure. Prolonging crawling will help with that too. That's our exciting life. More to come...
