Christmas break in Virginia

Sophie stops skating to strike a pose

We're all here-quick, take our picture while we're all standing!

It looks like Sophie's being served for dinner tonight!

All of us worked hard to build this arch at the Science Museum.

The first couple of days in Virginia, there was a lot of snow on the ground so we didn't do a whole lot. The girls just played with their new toys and mostly stayed indoors. After the snow cleared up a little, we were able to go and do more things. One day we took the girls roller skating (for the first time) and it was great because we had the whole place pretty much to ourselves. Both of the girls had several falls so they were probably a little sore.  They both ended up doing best in the skates where you just put your shoes inside them.  They were probably sore the next day!  We also visited the science museum one day and that was alot of fun!

Day Out with Dad

The slide is so much fun!

Sophie finally got a turn to drive the ambulance!

This past week, our family headed to the Adventure Science Museum. We bought an annual pass a couple of months ago and Sophie seems to be at the age where they really start to enjoy it. Matt was able to get off work for a couple of hours and go with us. The girls loved climbing to the top of the tower with their daddy and then coming down the slide! Sophie always enjoys the area of the museum that is about the body too. She really enjoyed being able to "drive" the ambulance. Abbie got a turn too.! They also enjoy the area that's for younger kids. We're still trying to get Abbie potty trained though (boo!) and when she had a big accident at the museum, I decided we'd better head out. From there, we headed to Otter's for lunch. Then, Daddy had to go back to work. We enjoyed being able to do some special things together. =)
