These cold winter days keeps us inside, but we find things to do and keep it interesting.  Come weather in the 30’s!

Dancing the night away with the first daddy daughter dance.  Lucky daddy!  Skokie’s Oakton Park was the venue.

Harlow loved it.  Ava loved it from the back row.  

Birthday cupcakes for the best daddy!We celebrated at Nana and Papa’s party room with PF Changs. Happy birthday daddy!

Today was the first day that Ava stayed dry!!!!! Potty training success!  Dave and I are so proud of her and love to see how happy she is with herself.  Way to go baby!

Ava hit the slopes at Brighton today.  She did a great job for her first time!  We were impressed with how well she walked in her boots!  

Looking forward to the many years of snow sports with the girls!

Bringing in the year 2016 with hats and noisemakers!  

100 degrees plus natural spring water was on the menu today.  We soaked up the hot water while the temp was in the teens.

We also went to the kid’s water park where they also use natural spring water.

The girls opened presents twice this year.  We celebrated grandpa’s 76th birthday and enjoyed the evening at grandma and grandpa’s.

Tubing at Fort Frosty is a must-do while in Salt Lake.  Ava and Harlow loved it and Amy and Brycs joined us this year.

Ava went on the bigger hill this year and smiled the entire way down.

Dave and Ava saw a moose too!

Another wonderful encounter with Santa this year!  We had two celebrations this year.  One in Chicago and the other in Salt Lake.

A very popular song in our house right now.

55 plus degrees in November?!  Of course we’ll spend the entire day outside.  

 Family day was in the outdoors today.  We went for a walk and soaked up this beautiful day!

Harlow is thriving when it comes to her vocabulary.  Elmo, hippo, water, daddy, mommy, Hoober, owl, grandma, apple, up, nose  and a few more words are coming from her mouth.  She also knows how old she is!

Our fav word(s)?

“Oh my gosh!”

 Chatham, MA is where we spent 6 days at the end of September.

We took a ship to Martha’s Vineyard, a boat to see the seals, had a family photo shoot, drove up to Provincetown and ate lobstah rolls and chowda!

The weather was sunny and cool and we took advantage of it by spending as much time as possible in the outdoors.
Ava took her first bike trailer ride in the Provincetown.  We were lucky enough to see the whales from the shore.  We hiked up and through the sand dunes and had many great laughs.

We celebrated Harlow’s doljanchi while on this vacation.  She went straight for the stethoscope when it was time to predict her future.  We may be calling her Dr. Jacobs soon!

Here come the top two teeth! Although this girl can eat without them just fine!
