Preschool program.
Today was the girls preschool program. Here's a few shots I took on my phone before we left for the program. Not the greatest quality -- but you get the idea. The girls did great singing and ringing their jingle bells. Too cute!

First Movie
We decided to be brave and take the girls to their first movie -- Disney's Frozen. We went in without having any expectations -- afterall, how many potty breaks can a two and three year old take in 90 minutes :)
Armed with a very large popcorn, two sippy cups and two slightly sleepy girls, we headed into the movie. They were super excited!
They actually did really really good! Each girl only took one potty break and they only spilled their popcorn twice ;). And, we all thought the movie was cute... Especially, Olaf, the snowman.
Maybe we will try it again soon!

It's snow much fun
Our first measurable snowfall!! The girls couldn't wait to get out and play. Ellie still isn't crazy about snow. This is only her second winter with us and they didn't have this cold white stuff in Ethiopia!!

National Adoption Month
In honor of National Adoption Month... and leading up to our Orphan Sunday/We Love Kids event at church, I decided I was going to post a few quotes I've run across relating to adoption, sponsorship, foster care, etc. Here goes the first one . . .
Do for ONE what you wish you could for for everyone -- Andy Stanley
