Bunny Love

 I have a feeling that Julietta's love affair with her bunny

 just may be

 a life long

relationship.

Something to Smile About

Julietta always has something to smile about.

Who wouldn't smile if they had pink birthday cake frosting dripping from their chin?

Babies and tea parties make Julietta smile too.



"You had your tea, I burped you, and now it's time to go to sleep."

 "Night, night baby Molly and baby Abby."



There's an Elephant in the Pink Room

 Sometimes they don't sleep nose to nose in Ella's tiny twin bed.

Sometimes they sleep under an elephant.

Take II

 Once the snow came, it didn't stop.

 So, we didn't stop enjoying it!

 A day after our first run we bundled ourselves back up and returned to our favorite sledding spot.

 It was really cold.  Julietta and I lasted about 15 minutes before coming home.

 Aunt Rena was super tough.  She came to sled with us and made the children's day!

 Julietta was thrilled. {grin}

A Budding Photographer

 Ella held a photo session and made these images of Liliana and me.

I think we have a budding photographer.

{grin}

Down the Mountain

 We waited and waited for the first snow of the winter.

 On January 9, we finally got an inch or two of the fluffy stuff so we bundled ourselves, mixed a batch of hot cocoa, loaded the new sleds Santa brought for Christmas and headed to our favorite sledding hill.

 For the dare devil Julietta it must have looked more like a sledding mountain!

 "1, 2, 3 . . . "

 and they're off!

 Down the mountain they go!

 And then back up for more fun!

 The fourth child - which in Greek means spoiled little snow angel! {grin}

 

 Jack managed to avoid the camera for the most part - he separated from the rest of us and had a fun time by himself. He even set a new Helms family distance record!

 Liliana tired of the traditional way of sledding and decided to snowboard.

 Serious sleddy snowboarders use their tongue.
