Here is some Easter egg fun...

until the dye gets on the hand...oh dear... We still had a good time!

Katelyn took a ballet class this winter. She thoroughly enjoyed herself. Here are some fun pics of the experience.

We did the "Gause family olympics" for family night. We have various events throughout the evening including: the frog jump, the obstacle course, and the ever favorite, pillow jump. Katelyn reigned victoriously and was awarded a "gold" medal (that she made herself). Ethan usually comes in 2nd place with these games (because of his height and weight disadvantage), but he is just happy to be part of the fun. Go team Gause!

Oh what do you do in the winter time, when all the world is grey? Here's what we do! I love the picture of Ethan jumping on top of Katelyn. Oops...look before you leap!

I love these pictures of my family. Each picture really captures their personalities right now, and it makes me laugh and brings me joy. I love my family!

Here are some pictures of Christmas morning. The kids had a great time, for the most part. Katelyn really got into it this year and was kind of confused when Santa didn't bring her entire list....HMMMM... that never happens to me!

Christmas would not be complete without Christmas Eve bingo at Nanny and Papa's.

My kids love "cooking time." They can't wait until it's time to lick the beaters. Isn't that everyone's favorite part?

Gingerbread house's are a tradition at our house. Ethan was old enough to decorate his own this year. I think he just ate the frosting out of the bowl while I decorated... (I don't normally feed my kids this sort of diet)
