all season rider...

during our last snow Tanner was outside playing...we thought it would be a great opportunity for him to try his new skis, but Tanner had other plans. He went straight for his strider and was riding in the snow down our front yard...again and again and again. Could it be we have a biker on our hands?!?!

exersaucer...

we busted it out and everyone had fun...well, fun for a few minutes, and then it was overwhelming. Its neat to see Kaya growing up and getting into new things...and even more so seeing Tanner helping show Kaya the ropes.

a seat at the table

Santa brought Kaya her very own seat at our table. While it will be a bit before it gets any real use...it was fun to plop her in there for a little preview.

time for another side by side...

here is each of the kids at 17 weeks...the funny part is how much they can look different, but from certain angles, outfits and expressions look exactly the same!

Tanner's Birthday Party Highlights

He is three. CRAZY. We had a really nice time celebrating his birthday. Tanner woke to find a new bike with pedals. woo hoo. A few friends come over, we did some crafts, played some games, ate some pizza and devoured a cake (thanks to joni for helping make it). Then Tanner didn't nap, we did it again in the evening (entertain that is), he fell asleep while watching Little Einsteins (fitting for our party theme) on a laptop in his room while we all celebrated a new year! Happy Birthday Tanner...and Happy New Year!
