happy valentine's day!

valentine's day was very special at the johnson house. the girls had a WONDERFUL day with their boyfriends and can be summed up in the words of our 3 year old daughter.. "mommy, this is the bestest valentine's day i ever saw!" :)

SNOW DAY!

today was our 2nd snow day in 2 weeks! school was canceled before we even saw any snow; but we do live in the south.... the girls had a great time building our first snowman. take a look!

who said being pretty isn't hard work?
silly, silly ava

january has been another crazy month. we've had some wonderful weather which has given us a lot more time to be outside even though it's JANUARY! the girls are doing great; ava is cruising along furniture and standing unassisted for quite some time now while maya continues to amaze us with the hysterical things she says. the other night before bed i asked her why she was being so crazy... her response was "i'm not crazy, mommy- i'm WILD!". i couldnt have said it any better! :)
