Anna & the Doll

Your doll needs a new diaper?

Um, be NICE to the baby!

Pin the baby down, then get wipes?

Yikes.

Almost done!

I'll help you Anna...

Momma helped.

Anna, does she have a new diaper now?

Kiss-kiss!

Nigh-night!

Who's Counting?

1. Shovel snow.
(Say "Good riddance WINTER!")

2. See if it works.
(Pray that we didn't ruin the grill by leaving it out
all winter looooooong.)

3. (Insert smell of grilling meat)
(Sniff a lot.)

4. Celebrate with a walk with E & A.
(Get fresh air therefore get rid of sickness.)

5. Count the days until SPRING.
(2.)

Ellie loves...

to be a big sister.

to draw.

to read.

Normal Days

My Valentines

Go Pack Go!

Last Sunday we drove 3 hours to watch a certain football game.

Larsens are Packer fans...
through and through.
Just don't ask me who ANY of the players are.

The babies even watched upstairs.

The serious fans watched downstairs.

The serious fans were extremely loud.
Thus the children spent most of the time upstairs playing
or coming back upstairs crying.

The Minnesota Larsens.

The Wisconsin Larsens.

The half Larsens half Mathiesens.
And the Mathiesens are truly half Larsens.

Oh, the tension!

But then, GO PACK GO!
WORLD CHAMPIONS!

Anna's had enough football.

Ellie's was ok though, she didn't watch the game.
She made valentines. MANY, many Valentines.

Ellie's World #8

Last time we were in the cities,
Ellie got to take Grandpa and Grandma out for a doughnut treat.

Of course we let her take the camera with...

and these pics are what we got in return.

There were lots of pics like this...
which warmed my heart.

Especially this one.

This was a pic of the doughnuts!

Ellie paid for her doughnut date!

Of course - she got one too!

Grandpa's doughnut!

Grandma's doughnut!
