Just Dance!

Devyn LOVES to dance!!  She is always saying "mommy, stand up!  lets dance."  So we dance!!  She definitely has better moves than I do.  I tape Ellen everyday, the other day we were watching it and Ciara was on.  Devyn was mimicking every move that she made and kept asking to do it again!  I got about the 20th time on video.  Brant and I were laughing pretty hard.  I wish you could see the tv because then you could see that she is really trying to dance the way that Ciara is.  At one point Ciara starts panting so Devyn stopped and started panting.  Anyway _ enjoy!

Tree House!!

Devyn and I spent the night at my parents place last night.  Brant went out with the boys and we got out of town!!  Brant is still in bed claiming to have the flu... Devyn and I had a ton of fun though!!  We went to Drew's hockey game on Friday night and then we went to this place called the Tree House on Saturday.  It was AWESOME!  It took forever to get there but it was worth it!!  Here are a few pictures.

Winter Wonderland!!

We had a great day today!!  We went to Navy Pier to Winter Wonderland! It was so much fun.  Normally when you read about stuff like this you go and just aren't at all impressed but this was amazing!  We stayed for 4 hours.  They had one of the ball rooms decked out with Christmas decorations, they had rides, slides, trains, an ice skating rink, a decorating cookie station.  It was awesome!  Here are some pictures from the day.  Oh and we got to see Santa :-)

Here is a pic of D and Brant right in front of the big Xmas tree.  Not a great picture...

Here is Devyn talking to an Elf before she got to talk to Santa.  She wasn't at all scared!  I was very impressed...huge improvement from last Christmas.

Here is D talking to Santa.  She walked right up to him and said "I want Cinderella" it was pretty funny! Good thing we already got her that :-)

And finally sitting on Santa's lap!

They had HUGE slides at this place.  Devyn and Brant must have gone down 100 times.  Here are 2 pics...at the top and then on the way down.

And finally Dave and Jacob!  Jacob is obsessed with hockey and he got to go ice skating today!  It was a pretty big moment!  I actually got a little teary eyed because I was so excited for him.  He did a great job!!  Here is the before picture.

It's SNOWING!!!!!

It's snowing!!!!  We woke up this morning to a couple inches of snow on the ground!!  Devyn was pretty excited!  Brant took her to the park and they made a snowman. Here are a few pictures!!  Looks like they had fun!!
