A picture of Her Highness, all dolled up in a dress-up outfit she got for Christmas. She insisted on wearing those earrings to church the next day.
I don't think I've mentioned that we now have fish... 2 killifish that we hatched from eggs, a guppy, and an algae eater. Well, the 2 killifish died a few weeks ago... Tony's pretty sure they got caught up in the filter. So he went out and bought 2 tetras. Ari named them Dasher and Blitzen, which I thought was wildly creative of her, since she tends to name her stuffed animals "Puppy" and "Bear" and "Bunny" and so on. Anyway, here you can see one of the tetras right in front of the treasure chest, and the other one is peeking out from behind it. (No, I don't know which is which without seeing them side by side. Tony and I decided that the fatter one is Blitzen because he probably can't "dash" as fast as Dasher.)
And, speaking of fish...
We've had a ton of snow lately, which means I've ended up taking a couple days off work here and there. On one of those snow days, we spent some time playing outside. After all that playing in the snow, Ari and I came inside and dried off while Tony finished up snowblowing and shoveling. Ari decided she wanted to watch "The Wizard of Oz" and got her Wizard of Oz storybook so she could read along.
The Steelers won the AFC Championship last Sunday, which means they are going to the Superbowl! I did my nails on Saturday night, in Steelers gold (well, not quite the same shade of gold, but close enough)...
(Yes, I know the pinky nail looks different. I had this glittery gold polish that I thought would look nice on top of the other gold, but instead it completely covered it up, and I didn't feel like redoing the nail, so I simply did the same thing to the pinky nail on my other hand and pretended it was all part of my original plan.)
Then, on Sunday morning, Tony and I donned our Steelers gear. And, oh yes, we wore the jerseys to church.
(I wanted to do a peace sign, and Tony wanted to do a "we're number 1" sign, so my weird sideways 1 is my compromise.)
Even Ari got in on the action, with some temporary tattoos that we happened upon in a store the night before.
I'm sure, come Superbowl Sunday, we'll be donning all the same gear as we cheer the Steelers on.

I remember the cousins teaching Esther how to do the fishy face when we were up there, but she can't do it anymore :) Another lost talent I guess.
Dude, I can't believe how much snow ya'll are getting! I remember having winters like that when we were growing up. We're getting a decent amount of snow here, but not an overabundance. As long as it's not too cold, I don't mind taking Matthew out in it. Today we made 4 mini-snowmen for each person in our family.
Um, yay Steelers? Yeah, I'm not into the Superbowl much.
I'm not into the superbowl either. Go Steelers?? It broke the all-time record for snowiness set back in 1945! Too much snow! :( I'm considering moving to Florida next winter.
