Crown Center

Next we went to Crown Center, but it was a little cold out so basically we shopped around and had dinner.

T-Rex Cafe

On our trip to Kansas City we first stopped at the T-Rex Cafe at the Legends Outlet Mall. The girls LOVED all the moving dinosaurs and other creatures.

Circus

The circus came to town once again. The dancing elephant was pretty cool, and Cee liked the clowns :-)

Basketball

Allie's first year of basketball came to an end. She did really well, averaging 4 points a game. The Lightning won the last game too. Now she wants a basketball hoop so we can practice at home.

Science Fair

More than 200 kids had exhibits for the science fair from Allie's school. The microwave popcorn experiment was very popular! It was a good experience for Allie and Melina.

Science Fair Project

Allie and her friend Melina completed their science fair project - which popcorn pops the best? We popped close to a dozen bags and counted the un-popped kernels. The winner? Orville Redenbacher's. More pictures to follow from the fair.

Morrill Hall

Celia's school had a field trip at Morrill Hall on UNL campus on President's Day. Allie had the day off so she came along.

Bieber Fever

The girls and I went to the Justin Bieber movie. It was pretty good! Allie won't admit to liking him, but Celia does :-)

Snowmen

The girls were finally able to enjoy some snow as well as TWO whole snow days from school. Allie mostly made these mini snowmen.

Pre-school Holiday Program

Celia had her pre-school program and sang songs for everyone. She had her picture taken with her friend, Tabbi.

More x-mas pics

Christmas

Christmas finally came! The girls got everything they could ever want. Even Bugger got his own Snuggie!

packages

Christmas is coming soon and packages are filling the mailbox! Celia and Bugger are loving the boxes!

Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving this year we headed up to MN for a quick 2-day trip! The girls had fun seeing their cousins and staying at Auntie Sheila's.

Halloween!

This is the girls favorite holiday. Allie was Jessie from Toy Story and Celia was Strawberry Shortcake. I made black cat pumpkins that turned out pretty good. And Maggie had her usual skeleton costume on.

Pumpkin Patch

Another trip to the Roca Berry Farm for Halloween. This is one of the girls' favorite places - even more than Vala's in Omaha! We always seem to have nice weather.

Julie's Wedding

Julie got married! I was one of the bridesmaids and the girls had fun dancing at the wedding. It was a nice wedding and a beautiful reception!
