Sunday night/Monday morning it snowed, and then it was pretty warm on Monday which meant the snow stuck together really well by the time Brooke and I got out there. This was the first good snowman snow this year and we took full advantage! Brooke walked over to me at one point without her mittens and said "I got sticks!" so those are mutually exclusive now...
After the snowmen we headed to the back yard for some laps!
Meanwhile Winry was inside keeping warm.
She even spent some time on the floor! As for us outside braving the cold? Well, we almost did enough loops to get rid of all the snow!
This past week Brooke got some new pajamas, and one of them came with a matching night gown for a doll! She loves it, and her bear has been wearing that night gown ever since!
On Wednesday we went over to Old Navy, and while we were there Brooke was helping bear dance to the music being played. She saw a little girl, a year or so older than her, and kept walking to about 3 feet from her and shaking bear like crazy to help him "dance!" The little girl wasn't sure what to do, but Brooke just kept going and never said anything to her, just walked a little close and started shaking bear!!
Brooke also learned a new song last week in nursery, and one morning we got her up and she started singing it for at least 30 minutes! It was really great! She said they sang it again in nursery today. We asked if she sang along and she said "NO!"
Monica also had to run an errand and took Brooke with her and when they came back Brooke had a PINK DOUGHNUT! She was really excited about it, and she ate the whole thing!
Brooke continues to take care of all her stuffed animals, which often means that between her and Jelly always sleeping in the swing there's typically nowhere to put Winry... This past week bear found a new favorite food, Jelly's fish!
On Wednesday for date night we went to look at some of the new homes being built by us. We looked at these ones there were "city" style homes. The houses are all narrow, as wide as a two car garage, but are three stories tall and most of the models had a roof top balcony area too, so kind of like 4 stories. It was fun to go walk through them, and Brooke had a blast trying out every chair and laying on every bed!
Also, here's a cute picture of Brooke and Winry. I have no context for this one...
Saturday morning we woke up, got ready, and headed to Boondocks to go bowling. Here's Brooke, getting in the zone in her little bowling shoes!
Brooke had a blast, and she did a really good job too! I may have paid close attention to how I set up the roller thing and even to how we placed the ball on it. By the end of the game I was able to aim it pretty well for her and I think the main thing holding her back was just that her ball was too light to smash through the pins, but really, she didn't care. She just had a blast rolling the ball! Here are our finals scores.
After bowling we spent a little time in the arcade, won some tickets and got some prizes, and then headed back home.
This morning we went for a family walk. Brooke was wearing her too small pajamas, flip flops, and her winter snow coat... At least she can pull it off.
After church today Brooke decided she needed to put on Monica's shoes. Not the best choice for walking around, so we made her take them off after we got a picture.
Also, Winry is 2 months (plus some days) old today! So right on time we took 2 month pictures! Here's my favorite.
And Jelly decided that she could share her swing with Mr. Bear today.
Today in church we had a lesson about the life of Jesus Christ. It was a great lesson, and we talked about several events in His life. Obviously there wasn't enough time to go through everything, but there was a great spirit in the room. Toward the end of class we of course talked about the atonement. The spirit was so strong in the room testifying of the truth of what we were discussing. It was awesome! I said the closing prayer, and in the prayer I gave thanks for the atonement, and at that moment I had a great feeling come over me confirming to me the truth of atonement. That Jesus Christ suffered for our sins so that we could repent and return to live with God, and that He loves us and always desires to help us if we will look to Him. I share this in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
