Klondike Racing

Here Sara and Jonas are Klondike Racing. They had to say "mush" and "halt" to their "dog".

Chillin at the Mills

We spent the afternoon at Huron Mills Park in Ann Arbor. They had a dog sled team, klondike races, marshmallow roasting, snow painting/sculpting, and fort building. The kids had a great time! Sara has loved dog sledding for almost 3 years now - ever since she saw Balto the movie. It was really fun to see the dogs pull the sled and meet the woman that takes care of them.

Together

Part of the fun of being a twin is having someone to play with and do things with. Typically, if either Callie or Tobin begin to do something the other one immediately joins in. Most of the time, they play wonderfully together, and think it is more fun to have a partner. This has been both good and bad. When they are doing something good - it's great, when they are looking for trouble - it's TROUBLE :) They also do seem to understand each other. One of them will be trying to tell me something and while I'm trying to figure it out the other one will solve the problem, like finding a missing sippy cup or somthing. It has been a lot of fun having twins.

Frankenmuth 2012

The week after Christmas, we took the kids to Frankenmuth. They had a lot of fun playing in the pools, playing arcade games, minature golf, and hanging out in the hotel room. Sleeping arrangements did not work out so great, but it was a nice reminder of how much sleep we do get at this point in our lives. We even went to the Bavarian Inn for dinner, which was our first time as a family of 6 going out dinner at a place other than McDonald's :)

Christmas 2011

We had a wonderful Christmas spending time with family. We had four Christmas celebrations and we feel so blessed to have such amazing family. Callie and Tobin had a blast opening presents - it was just hard to get them to stop opening other people's presents :) Sara and Jonas enjoyed spending time with people they love and of course opening presents.
