Fia is Tumbling now

Madeline used to do tumbling (click here to see), and now it's Fia's turn.  The first few classes didn't go so well and Fia didn't participate much.  I think she was overwhelmed by the new environment and trying to take it all in.  Now that we have a few classes under her belt, she is doing much better. She even said, "I love tumbling" the last time we went.

Here she is on her very first day wearing Madeline's old leotard.  She couldn't wait to put that on.

She ended up getting a new one of her own by Aunt Jenna.  She loves that one too!

Here are two short videos of her in action!

Afternoon Fun with Madeline

One afternoon while Fia was sleeping, Madeline and I were being goofy.

Madeline has moved up in the world

As you can tell by the huge smile on her face, she loves it!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Madeline has had a pirate obsession lately, so I knew these were the perfect Valentine's for her to give out this year.  She loved them!  

Fia also made some super cute cards for her Valentine's.

What stole my heart, though, was this note.  Madeline wrote it to Fia totally unprovoked and I love it.  It says, "I love you Sophia."  

Madeline has some ball skills

It's been a typical cold winter around here.  So to get the kids out of the house, we go to Recreations Outlet and burn off some energy.  Here is Madeline showing her ball handling skills.

Happy Birthday to Fia!

Our cute little Fia Bia turned 3 years old and we had an A-Dora-able Birthday Party to celebrate.

You can't ever go wrong with pizza for dinner.

After the kids' bellies were full, we started our adventure in search of the missing candy.  First they needed to make it past Troll's Bridge.

After making it through the tunnel, then it was time for Finding Forest where they had to find the matching puzzle piece from their backpacks.  Things got a little hairy in the forest but most of the kids found their piece.

Then they came upon the Fiesta Trio and their boombox.....it was time to DANCE and boy did they love that.

Last, was the Dora pinata. That didn't work out so well either but the kids didn't care once they saw the loot splash across the floor.

After presents it was time to sing Happy Birthday.  Fia loved it and she knew exactly what to do.  As soon as her birthday song was over, she blew that candle right out!

It was a great party spent with good friends and family!

Christmas # 4 and # 5

At the Lair Family Christmas, Madeline turned into a pirate!

Check out these 5 dweebs at the Lewis Family Christmas.  You'd think we planned their outfits, but we didn't.

Big Lair Family Christmas

Christmas evening we headed over to Andy's parents' house for the Lair Christmas.  We got a few cute family pics with the kids.

Once everyone arrived it was time for some Christmas dinner.

Everyone loves The Fi.

Then it was crazy present-opening time!
