Life Lately

Snow much fun! 


Girl Scout World Friendship Day 2017
Anna, Kiera, Jess and Mena representing Japan...
love the chop sticks in their hair!

Though it's February, the Christmas Cactus is still in bloom!
Warming our "paws" by the vent! This is one of Brooke's fave 
spots to lay.

Found this gem of a wreath at the thrift store and knew it would
look great in Kiera's room...I didn't know it would also look so cute
framing her face. She's such a goofball!

January Birthdays

Happy Birthday to Gram and Ty!

Gram wasn't feeling well on the day we planned her family birthday party, 
so a couple weeks later we  stopped over with some birthday bakery.



We celebrated Ty's birthday with dinner at his new place.
He made us dinner (tortellini soup and salad), we brought 
an app and Mimi and Papa brought the birthday pie.

Christmas 2016

It's the most wonderful time of the year! I didn't take a whole lot 
of pictures, but we did have a whole lot of fun! 


Kiera bought Brookie a new harness and leash. It was the first
gift that was opened on Christmas morning because Kiera
was so excited to give it to her.
Every year at school, Kiera's PTA (called Home and School)
puts on an "Angel's Workshop" for the students and each kid 
makes a nice gift for their parents for Christmas. This year it was
a canvas with a Christmas tree painted on it.
It was a Yeti Christmas! Kiera got a monogrammed one.
Santa brought a Ripstick, a new helmet, 
knee and elbow pads and shin guards.
Kiera made her first cake all by herself!
We used it as base to put our gingerbread house on.
 Mimi and Papa spoiled their granddog...
Brooke gota new dog bed
 Dining Room turned Disco, thanks to Em and Paul's cool 
gift to Kiera...a disco ball light

 Jazz Hands!
 Cousins
 She couldn't make it over to the photo booth, so we 
brought the props over to her! 

 Gram's 97th Christmas! 
 The great grand kids and great gram
 More cousin time!
First Christmas as Mr. and Mrs. Shapiro
The "Speak Out" game was hilariously funny!


 Dance Party!

A Very Kette Christmas

With Kiera and I off school for Christmas Break, we headed 
to SC! We had fun playing games, playing with the dogs
 (that hula hoop trick, though!), taking our annual trip to the
Children's Museum, celebrating Christmas and Erin's birthday,
and just enjoying each other's company. Why oh why do 
they have to live so far away?

Look what Vason can do!
