One

Amelia turned one. We celebrated with cousins Everett and Elise poolside.

 

 

 

Music Class

I used to do so much more baby activities with Anders. #secondkidmomguilt! I loved MacPhail music classes with Anders! I wish we had them closer to us but occasionally our library hosts. Amelia did a great job.

No School

Anders had the week of Thanksgiving off and we lived it up! Amelia went to day care and we had a day just Anders and me. I haven't had that in over a year and I didn't realize how much I missed it.

He picked Pump it Up and the Shoreview Community Center. He was finally tall enough for the water slide. I left him at the top in tears but this was his face at the bottom.

And this was his face before his 100th time.

We had a stay at home day with board games and snow!

For some reason Thanksgiving is my worst holiday for pictures. A surprise visit from Emily was worthy of a girl cousin picture.

Jane with her namesakes.

These two don't look alike at all!

Besties

Raphaela is home from Germany on maternity leave and we got to spend a weekend with her family.  Kristin and kiddos came from Mexico and we had a giant sleepover at Jill's house.
