After our trip to California, we headed back to Colorado to get started on the new year. We took advantage of a few more days of no school to visit Nana and Papa. Aubrey ventured into her own little world while Carter was napping, and I managed to get a video of it. Unfortunately, the many clocks in the house all went off during it, but I think it's still super cute.
Speaking of those clocks, Carter was going through a phase of loving them. Only he couldn't quite say "clock" correctly...
When school started again and we got back into the swing of things, we picked back up with our house projects. I'm planning a whole separate blog post about all of those, but I had to share this cute photo of Aubrey helping me paint one of our walls. She's wearing a pretty, white tutu, and it just made me think of Cinderella being put to work, haha.
For the month leading up to Christmas, Aubrey kept saying she wanted an Anna doll and a violin from Santa. (We listened to a lot of Celtic Woman Christmas music, which features a violin pretty heavily, and Aubrey was a big fan.) We decided to get her the doll, obviously, but the violin was a bit much for us. Enter Grandma Santa! Aubrey had lots of fun "playing" it for awhile, and I got this video of her.
And then it was just business as usual. We had dance parties...
... and had ice cream dates.
Carter stayed his cute, charming self...
... and Aubrey maintained her awesome fashion sense.
And I guess it rubbed off on Carter!
We also got some park days in. It was such an awesome, mild winter!
We discovered a yummy cupcake shop, which has these fun swings inside. It's probably good that it's too expensive of a place to go too often, because I don't need that.
We also went through a weird phase of making Thanksgiving dinner every few weeks. Daniel had a Home Depot coworker who kept bringing him free turkeys, so we kind of had to. :)
For their part, Aubrey and Carter went through a phase of dressing up a lot. Here Aubrey is dressed as Merida riding her "horse."
And here's Carter dressed as Elsa playing with Daniel's work tag as he's passed out.
And to end, I have an adorable photo of Carter being sweet with Aubrey's doll. D'awww.
