January 31
Because of her "shark teeth", she's never truly had a gap-toothed grin, but it's still pretty darn cute.

Day 30: Twister With a Twist
January 30
Cookie season is underway, and the Daisies need to be able to identify all the different types of cookies.
Day 27: My Favorite Hymns
January 27
I'm singing with the choir at church for a special conference, and the pieces that were chosen happen to be three of my favorite hymns.
Day 26: Snow on Mt. Hood
January 26
We spent the day sledding on Mt. Hood in celebration of two friends' birthdays.
Day 24: Accidental Denim
January 24
I don't think I meant to take this picture, but it's the only one I have for today and it's kind of cool.
Day 23: Memory Lane
January 23
I bought this mug at the end of my Study Abroad experience in 1998. One of the classes we were required to take was "London Walks", so I feel like the statement is justified.
Day 22: Statistics
January 22
I haven't taken a math class in years, but this one is actually pretty fun.
Day 20: Kitchen Science
January 20
I'm pretty sure all she was doing was making a milkshake. There is never a dull moment at our house.

Day 17: Dinner
January 17
We're trying to eat a little healthier, and tonight I made quinoa with potatoes and cheese. It was really yummy, and despite all the "what the heck is quinoa?" questions from the girls, it was a big hit!
Day 16: Biscuits!
January 16
Chris went to California today for work and brought these home for us. Apparently the shop in the building he's working on had a whole barrel full of these tasty British treats. Hopefully he'll be traveling there again soon!
Day 15: Waiting
January 15
I had a few other shots of Ellie waiting for her checkup, but the expression on her face in this one just cracks me up. And, just for the record, it really wasn't that long of a wait.
Day 14: A Light Dusting
January 14
For how freezing it's been, it would have been nice to have a little more snow.

Day 13: Allison - 0, New Knives - 2
January 13
I got these knives for Christmas, and they're great, but my old ones were so dull that I'm having a really hard time adjusting. I didn't cut my finger off, but not for lack of trying.
Day 10: Getting Ready...
January 10
Girl Scout cookie sales are about to being! This is the letter Lexi wrote for Chris to share with his co-workers. We have to make sure to let them know ahead of time when the girls will be coming in to sell cookies. Otherwise, somebody else's daughter might sneak in ahead of us!
Day 9: Her Family
January 9
Lexi had to do a family history report over the break. She spent this evening finishing up and putting together her poster. She's worked really hard on this project and is really excited about sharing her family with her class.
Day 8: The Reader
January 8
She loves her new tablet. Specifically, the Kindle app and all the library books she now has literally at her fingertips.
Day 7: Ready for Dinner
January 7
Just Ellie, being silly. It's definitely time for school to start again.
Day 5: Cookies
January 5
Grandma and the girls made the cookie dough, but then they left to go swimming, so Chris and I were put in charge of baking them. We did an excellent job.
Day 4: Old School
January 4
Ellie got roller skates for Christmas, so we thought it would be fun to take the kids to the skating rink so she could really try them out. I'm proud to say that, even though it's been YEARS since I've skated, I managed to stay upright the entire time. And I'm a little dismayed to say that Vicki wears the same size roller skates as me.
Day 3: The Sledding Master
January 3
After she dubbed herself The Sledding Master, Ellie asked she had any ancestors who were professional sledders.
Day 2: Babysitting
January 2
Poor Nathan, the only boy cousin in a family full of girls who all want to love on him. You can tell he hates the attention.
Day 1: Little Ladies
January 1
Whenever we visit, Grandma E. gets all her granddaughters together and hosts a "Little Ladies' Lemonade (or Hot Cocoa) Party". The girls all bring their American Girl (or equivalent) dolls, wear fancy hats and eat fancy foods, and Grandma reads them a story. It's quite the event.
