Hayley arrived
Beware of TONS OF PICTURES
My good friend Amy had her baby a couple of weeks ago... So, Liv and I celebrated by inviting her older daughter Lily over for the day. We had such a good time together, I had to post all about it. I figure, this will give Amy a chance to see what we did all day, and get some pictures, and it will give all of my friends and family who live WAY TOO far away, a good idea what some of our favorite activities are...and a good chance to see all of our SNOW!!

First we headed to the play gym. We go here at least once a week. Our City has a large basketball gymnasium, where they put out TONS of kids toys every weekday morning. As you can see, the girls had a blast. Even Gwen loves it.
Then we came home to play in our 15+ inches of snow!! It was a beautiful day to be outside, it really wasn't one bit cold with our coats on....and not a bit windy. I pulled the girls around on a sled, then they played on our neighbors swing set....
Just a side note: Liv has really pretty much gotten over her "putting everything in her mouth" phase.....However, something happened when the snow came down...while we were playing, she was licking snow off of nearly every surface! This is her licking it off the slide, about 2 minutes later, she was licking it off of the swing too =0). Lilly had fun throwing snow at us. She would do it and then laugh and laugh
Once we were all exausted, we had some hot chocolate to warm up, and then I let the girls have some quiet time watching a show. They were so cute cuddled up under their blankets. (Mom, do you notice the bear you gave Liv 2 years ago for Christmas.... He has been resurrected, he is her new LOVE! She named him Brownie, and he plays a role in all of her adventures! By the way, we love you!)

That second to last picture of Liv is absolutely perfect! Beautiful Betsy! I wish our community did a gym play time. That was the best in Iowa. Looks like a fun day. Great pictures!
