Hockey Season!

When you have three daughters, like my dad has, you might think a sport like hockey won't matter much. But, as it turns out, hockey is exactly the kind of sport I like to play.
At the end of our dance classes, I announced that dance was entirely too much work and not enough fun.
SO, it's a good thing that it's over. Just in time for hockey with my buddy Jack! Mina's taking the class too, since we can fit together into the 3-5 age division now.

But even a girl like me knows that nothing is more fun than baking cookies. So we do that too. We like to bake and eat and celebrate all the time! We are especially happy to be celebrating my Aunt Kim, who is doing so incredibly well and who we can't wait to go see in a couple of weeks!
We know Aunt Kim can't wait to see us too. And so we're spending a little time every day planning the visit, thinking about the visit, talking about and praying for our amazing Aunt.
We'll bring the cookies Aunt Kim!

Jessa went to visit last time, but the rehabilitation staff kept her at arms length on account of her age. Not now, though! She's excited about a real face to face visit with Aunt Kim!

And since we're in the mood for celebrating, on Saturday, we went to celebrate Ava's 4th birthday at our favorite party destination: Pump-It-Up!

Jessa had a grumpy cold, so Mom let her stay in her jammies.

She cheered up in time for the birthday cake!

Aside from the parties and the hokey, we're spending time getting ready for Valentine's Day!

We do this by eating cookies and buying valentines cards at Target. We are encouraging Mom to be a little more original. She says maybe next year.

And finally, some big Little Hokie news:

We're under contract! We're buying this house!

It's in a great neighborhood where most of our freinds already live. We've got a nice flat driveway and a half acre- flat! YIPEEEE! Closing is March 12! Yay for us!
