play doh and playdates

this is haven with one of her favorite friends in the world. they've been pals since before either could walk and are about a month apart in age. until we get the sharing thing down, they have a love/hate relationship. but really, they just crack each other up all the time. the first picture is pre-kiss, the last shows these two just after i caught them pretend-snoring. the middle are a very funny story h was telling. it was long. and funny. and about a horse. but that's all i got.

in other haven stories, she's been working on a coloring page from the church nursery displaying the wisemen bringing gifts to toddler jesus on mary's lap. haven is pretty determined it's 'mo-ma' (oma). we also had to take the yellow marker away because it kept ending up in her nose. go figure. :)

the helper

haven's not a huge fan of the white stuff. yet. but she loves to get out of the house after being confined all day yesterday. we survived by making valentine's cards, washing farm animals and legos in bubble bath (and my phone too, but it survived-- another story for another day...), trying on all of mommy's shoes, and watching monster's inc for the first time. and second time. don't judge-- a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do when trapped with a soon-to-be-two-year old. :)

i am so thankful for good friends who stopped in knowing jon was stuck in tampa on business and even shoveled our walk. we are so blessed by our family. :)

we picked jon up at the airport this morning-- the snow drifts were hip high and took me an hour to uncover my car (that has less to do with the snow and more to do with my abilities i'm afraid).

the frankenstein walk

haven was so excited to go outside in the snow only to hangout with dad on the sidewalk. she had fun though! thanks kate and kevin for the loan on tiny snowboots and suit!
