A Visit to the MN Children's Museum

On Sunday, we met the Garvins at the Children's Museum for a playdate.  It was my first time there, and Charlotte's second time.  It was also Target Free Third Sunday so it was crowded.  All of my future visits will be more pleasant by comparison.  We spent most of our time in Habitot.

Art was a great Habitot tour guide.

Bailey(L) and Netta(R) climbed all the way up!

Christmas Day

What a Christmas!  It was 40 degrees here.  Unlike last Christmas when we got ice dams for Christmas, this year we got a Texas Christmas weather-wise.  We met the Garvins at the dog park for a nature walk in our lightweight jackets.  Ben took our portrait.  Don't mind my ill-fitting hat.  

Art and Lewis got binoculars for Christmas.

We spotted this spotted owl.

We didn't get any pics from Christmas morning because we can't find our camera.  Ooops.  It wasn't that exciting since Charlotte still does not understand opening presents and we had to do it for her.  She does understand toys and she got some fun new things to play with.  Suze sent her a baby doll and Charlotte bent over to give it a kiss - pretty much the cutest thing I have ever seen!  It fits perfectly in this little doll cradle that my sister found in my mom's basement.
