Disney On Ice, Rain Storms and Marathons....

For Christmas this year, Santa brought Rilyn a new princess dress and tickets to see Disney On Ice. It was a fun night, especially seeing all the kids dressed up.. Rilyn had a blast seeing The Little Mermaid, Lion King, Cars and especially her highlight was Tinkerbell. Unfortunately, Emerson didn't understand why she couldn't walk around the whole time, so trying to keep her contained was quite a task!

Our little climber is at it again these days, finding new ways to challenge herself. Now, she likes to climb onto the toy box and sit in her basket of toys or climb up over onto the couch. She is always so proud of herself and of her accomplishments.

Lately, Emerson has been into carrying purses around, pushing the shopping cart or baby stroller and dressing up like her big sister. Unfortunately, Rilyn isn't liking having to share her old dress up costumes with her sister, which you can tell from her reaction in the next picture :).

Finally we have been having some rain which has allowed Rilyn to use her new rainboots and umbrella. The other day we let her go out and play in the puddles and then take a warm bubble bath afterwards, my kind of day!

Last weekend my friends Annette, Mark and myself ran our first half marathon. It was an awesome experience, which I doubt I will want to do again. We had a great time running as a team and were able to stay together the whole way. We far exceeded our expectations for ourselves and finished the race in only 2 hrs. 4 mins, a huge accomplishment. I am so thankful for the experience and friendships I have!

Here we are, thankful to finally be done! :)
