Maya Grace is Two

Maya Grace turned two years old yesterday. It is amazing how time flies by. She is coming into her own and definitely has her own personality. You can tell that she has an older brother and goes to daycare with all boys because she is a tough little cookie and doesnt mind getting dirty or rough housing. Ethan and her run through the house every night. She loves her big brother Ethan and as soon as he calls her name she screams out "Ethan Im coming!!" she is also definitely a little girl. she loves to look pretty and put on dress up clothes. She shows Eric her outfits every morning. She also loves to dance and sing, her favorite songs include Frosty the Snowman and Katy Perry's Firework (interesting combo I know!). She talks a mile a minute and even falls asleep talking to herself. Maya also loves babies, she feeds her babies, changes them, and tries to dress them. I caught her the other day getting out all of her diaper stuff and changing the daddy doll from her doll house with no help from anybody! She has such a kind little heart and beautiful smile we are truly blessed to have such a wonderful little girl in our lives.

Maya's Birthday Party

We had Maya's Birthday at our house this year. we had some friends and family come over to help her celebrate her day. Of course, it had to be a Dora themed birthday party, Maya loves everything to do with Dora. Grandma and Papa Langel, Staci, and Tera were able to make it out for her party. we started the day off by taking Ethan to ski lessons which he has now perfected going up the ski ropes himself and made it down the hill multiple times. Its amazing the differences between this week and four weeks afo. Then Ethan had another birthday party to go to while I got the house ready to go. maya wasn't quite sure what her birthday meant but she sure loved all of the attention and the presents. She got a ton of stuff. Kate Jim and Will gave her dress up clothes and by the end of the night Ethan was dressing her in all of the clothes and Will was joining in on the fun! It was a lot of fun and Maya is such a lucky girl to have such good family and friends in her life.

Making Cupcakes

While Ethan and Eric were outside shoveling snow Maya and I were making cupcakes to take to the babysitters to celebrate her birthday. Maya decided she wanted to help so I let her put on the sprinkles.

Snow Day!

Last Wednesday morning we woke up to a quite the snow storm. It was more snow than I have seen in a long time. We had school off on Wednesday and Thursday. Eric didnt have work on wednesday. Ethan was a big help outside shoveling. Maya and I went outside for a little bit but she didnt like the snow blowing in her face so we came back inside. Here are a couple pics of the kids outside.
