Snowy Days

We got a big dose of snow on Saturday, and the girls were very pleased!

Shoveling our lawn, so helpful

Love those rosy cheeks

Building an igloo with Daddy's help

Evie had her second-first dentist appointment on Saturday.  We tried when she turned 3, and couldn't even get her to open her mouth for the hygenist.  This time Daddy took her while I was getting my teeth cleaned, and she did great!  She was not exactly happy, perhaps a bit traumatized afterward - but she did it!

Too freaked to smile for real

Maggie enertaining herself

Last weekend a bunch of the girl cousins from my mom's side of the family got together for dinner at D'Marcos in Rochester (my cousin's new restaurant) - it was delicious and a great night of laughs!

Girl's night!

Jamie and I had an impromptu date night this past weekend... we decided to try eating at Marrow in Detroit, and it. was. amazing.  Instead of ordering entrees we did the chef's tasting menu, perhaps the best decision I've ever made.  I think I have a new favorite place.

A little charcuterie to start things off...

The following day Grandma took the cousins to Chuck-E-Cheese and then came over for a little visit afterward.  It was a fabulous day for the kids!

Ridin' dirty

Violet is all about noses

I am feeling very ready for baby boy to make his entrance - about 2.5 weeks to go.  We have everything washed, folded (mostly thanks to my mom!) and organized.  Maggie is so similar to Jamie in looks and personality, and Evie is so much like me... very curious to see what this little guy is like!

Getting pizza to celebrate Friday!

Some others:

All the unicorns

Strawberry stuffed pancakes... there's a lot of food talk in the post...

Rob was in town for a visit - and turned Jamie Russian?

The girls wanted to sleep in their tent (inside) on the weekend...
Maggie enjoyed it for a bit, but ended up in her own bed.  Evie stayed for the night!

Happy to see that she actually wore her sweater after whining about it all morning
