Hiking Fun!

We had a couple of nice winter weekends, so we met Grandma and Grandpa Young outside for some hikes!

Clara was able to try out her new hydration backpack - she didn't have to carry a water bottle because she had it all in her backpack!

We found a new trail on the Chattahoochee River!

Clara walked with Dad and Grandpa and I was in charge of Jessie!

I found a huge, uprooted tree!

It was fun to hang out with Grandma and Grandpa!

We got home and Jessie and Clara wanted more sunshine outside!

The next weekend we found a different trail, but still on the Chattahoochee river!

We tried skipping some rocks into the river!

February Fun!

It started to feel a little bit normal being back at school and doing the regular school activities we had been missing!

It was 100 days of kindergarten for me!  I went with 100 pom poms - way heavier than you would think pom poms would be!

I counted to 100 while making my sticker hat!

Then it was time to celebrate Valentine's Day!  Dad helped us make our "mailboxes" for the school party!

Owen and I were in charge of addressing all of the Valentine cards for our classmates!

Ms. Ivory brought us a special Valentine's treat! 

We got to decorate our own heart doughnuts!  They were yummy!

I got together with the other neighborhood kindergartners to do a video for our school's Tiger Trot fundraiser!

We didn't have plans for Winter Break so we did a camp!  Owen did Way 2 Play and I did Way 2 Cheer!  I'm in the front row with the orange pom poms!

Practicing our stunting!

Here we all are! I'm in the front again - the only one with orange pom poms!

Here's our final performance that we worked all week to learn!  I'm the one in the skirt!

Cousin Time!

We were so excited to have our cousins come stay with us in Atlanta!  They flew all the way from Kansas City!

It was fun to have morning snuggle buddies!

We visited a new park nearby to get some energy out!

I had fun reading Wylie stories!

The two girl cousins!

Here's the entire cousin crew!

We're the younger cousin crew of the Hermansen cousins!

We took everyone to the zoo for the afternoon!  I can't pass up a photo op with a statue!

It wasn't the warmest of days...

More statues and carousels!

We were able to ride the train, too!

And more statues...this time I pulled Brooke into the statue fun!  We did see some live animals during the zoo trip, too!

We took Wylie across the street and taught him hopscotch!

Then we got to have a Super Bowl party and watch the KC Chiefs play!

Group selfie!

Here I am reading to Wylie!

Rainbow Birthday!

For my birthday, I asked Dad to make me a rainbow cake!  And he delivered!

Coronavirus kept us from having a birthday party, but I had a fun time celebrating with my family - and my rainbow cake!

Rainbows inside and out!

It was a strange year, but it was a good one with lots of smiles!

Snuggle Time!

Jessie is the best snuggler!  She likes to lay with us when we're going to bed at night!  And on the couch... And on the floor...

When Jessie isn't snuggling, she can get into some mischief sometimes...

It's messy, but funny too!
