Sisters

One of the things I do not enjoy about winter is how I feel we're "cooped" up the entire time. I get serious Cabin Fever and long for the days of warmth:) Last year was really bad seeing as that I had just had Alexis. I was honestly counting down the days until I thought all the snow would be gone! However, this year, (despite the fact I still don't enjoy the cold) I have actually enjoyed winter a bit. Yes, we've been cooped inside, but I feel like my kids have actually grown closer because of it. This is not to say that they still don't get on eachother's nerves (because they still do), but oftentimes I have found them playing wonderfully together because playing outside in the cold was just not appealing.

The two that I've seen it the most in (probably because they're home the most with me) are Alexis and Mickey. When Jacks is gone at school they act as if they're they Queens of the house. Mickey sets up "duck duck goose" games for them to play (Alexis laughs as Mickey runs around her), they'll play Barbies together (Alexis is mainly chewing on their hands and feet but Mickey doesn't care), or they'll be sitting with eachother like in the picture below. Mickey loves this baby toy Alexis has, so whenever Lex goes over to it I'll find Mickey right beside her in seconds. I love how they enjoy eachother's company and have started to form this wonderful sisterly bond. Here's to my two beautiful girls!!
