A bunch of silly kids!

All the kids got so many cute clothes for Christmas. I love this happy dinosaur shirt on my Teagie man. He's starting to get very into dinosaurs just like his big brother.

We took a chilly little walk to Emerson last week. It was fun, but we didn't last there long. We've been trying to get outside a lot though. That's what hats, gloves, and coats are for!

My Dad's face kills me! He apparently was surprised I was taking a picture or Ave was getting heavy. She looks so happy swinging away though.

Ave's daycare always sends home homework for the days she doesn't go...so she and Carter always do their homework together at night. Teague is usually in there too. He likes to scribble on old homework assignments. They look so cute.

Carter always makes a fort to sleep in. He's laying under his giant dog and in between two pillow pets. Of course, blue guy is right there also!

Teague, the chocolate granola bar face, loves to wear Ave's tap shoes. They are super noisy! He fell asleep in his dinosaur bed in this exact outfit!

I love when these three play together. They've been very into Avengers lately. When Teague wears his Hulk pajamas they do a lot of searching for Dr. Doom. He, somehow, always gets into our house when we're gone.

I'm not sure what this move is, but he sure looks silly.

Ave, being a Montana girl, thought Jasmine's "winter wear" was quite ridiculous. She used a gift certificate to Hastings to buy a huge paper doll book, 2 Backyardigan books, and 1 Dora book. She loves to read (I'm so proud)!

Now, for a bunch of dance costume pictures. Terri brought a bunch of old dance costumes of Abb and Jord's over for Diane Trerise to look at. She and her family were our neighbors in Lincoln, and she was our dance teacher. She still teaches dance in Helena. Some of her girls were going to buy some of the old costumes for solos. We couldn't part with this one. It was Kelsie's when she was in 2nd grade. It's big on Ave, but she loves it!

That night we had an epic dance show at home. I had to play appropriate songs to go with each outfit. I believe she was dancing to Songbird by Fleetwood Mac for this one. It was graceful and lovely!

Bad Romance was requested by Teague. All 3 couldn't help but dance to that song. I love Ave's pose here!

She's got moves! Not sure where she got them, but they are fabulous.

She slept in this outfit the last two nights. She had a Ring Around the Rosie dance break with Teague, who had to dress up too. You can tell he idolizes his big sister!

One of my favorites, the King Tut dance. I have a "Best of Steve Martin" Saturday Night Live DVD. She thinks his dancing in King Tut is one of the funniest things ever (and she's right)!

What a happy little man!

Another one of Kelsie's old outfits - "Buttermilk Biscuits" right Kels?

This one was an ice skating outfit - it still worked perfectly though. She is one lucky girl to have Abb and Jord around. She's spoiled rotten!
