All in Red

Aunt Tania and Uncle Edi gave Elena this super cute red heart dress just in time for Valentine's Day! She paired it with red tights and her red sparkle shoes. She got so into the red theme of her outfit that she used a red marker for her schoolwork.

Clean-up time

Elena worked really hard to clean all the food and dishes that belong in her kitchen. The kitchen's cabinets and storage drawer were washed and organized too. Elena was so proud of her work that after playing with the food today every item went right back to where it belongs. Usually it just gets put where ever there is room... Good job, E!

More snow!!!!!!!!!!!!

Look at all our snow! Co loves it too. Elena made a snowwoman and gave her a polka-dot dress with raisins - cute, huh? Of course, as soon as she turned her back, Cody devoured the raisins and decapitated Elena's hard work. But that didn't stop Elena from making another snow person.
What a downfall!
Elena helped scrape some snow off the deck railing.
And Cody loved having someone outside to share the good times. Silly Co!
We're loving the snow because it's a huge improvement to the ice we had the week before.

Bowling!

While visiting Luke I got to go bowling! I used a pink ball and wore cool shoes!It was fun and I was very good at waiting for my turn.
The scoreboard showed how fast my ball went down the lane. One time it didn't quite make 1MPH, and sometimes there wasn't any speed listed at all...
Probably because the balls didn't make it to the end. I got 2 stuck in the lane! Mommy thinks that's a record.
Hopefully I can go bowling again soon. Or I can find some shoes like the ones they gave me to wear since I didn't want to take them off when the game was over...
Love, Elena

Visiting Luke

We took an airplane to Luke's house! It was so much fun! I got to sit next to the window and Mommy held my hand as we went up in the air. I got to play with new special things on the airplane, including an Elina coloring book!Luke and I had so much fun! He has lots of toys, but I shared my Elina coloring book with him.
We liked building with his blocks and playing in the giant box. Sometimes it was a rocketship!
It was Luke's birthday. He turned 4! We had cake and a pinata and there was a bouncy house. I made friends with a girl named Ingrid. We had fun eating candy together.
Thanks for a fun time Luke, Auntie Jean, and Tony!
Love, Elena

Tired girl

Loved that we caught this moment on camera! Elena fell asleep during quiet time and she still has a pen in her hand! Tired little kiddo... Falling asleep during quiet time hasn't happened in awhile (or very often) - not even yesterday when she had a busy day at school and then went swimming at the pool for an hour!
