Orange Day and Snow Fun

Last week was pretty uneventful. Brenna and Brody spent Monday through Thursday with Carrie and Friday with Nana and Papa. Thursday was "orange" day at Brenna and Brody's preschool so they both wore orange. I had to dig through the summer totes to find an orange shirt for Brenna. In the past, Brenna has not always wanted to wear the color of the month and always ask, "Will Miss Dorothy be mad?" Brenna was excited to wear orange so it must be a color she likes. On Friday, we got a surprise visit from cousin Heather. Both were excited to see her and did not want her to leave.

On Saturday, Aunt Jessie, Uncle Jimmy, Tyler and Abbi came out with the "Mini Z" as Brenna had been begging to drive it. Brody tried driving it but did not like how much it jerked when he hit the gas. Both he and Brenna preferred to ride as passengers with Abbi. We spent the morning snowmobiling in the fields and just playing outside. It was great to be able to spend time outside. Brenna and Brody took naps in the afternoon while I went to a wine tasting at Cabin Chic in Osseo with Sarah and Colleen. The wine tasting got done a little too soon so we extended it to Malibu tasting at Gails! Brenna and Brody finished the evening with having Abbi spend the night. They love having Abbi stay and besides the occassionally fighting, usually have a lot of fun. I think Abbi might have a future as a Speech Language Pathologist because she is constantly trying to help both kiddos use perfect speech. Lastly, we made cookies with the Easy Bake and watched Horton Hears a Who before falling asleep.
