We were so lucky to have Aunt Jennifer bring down Albert for a playdate with Lucy Saturday morning. They had a great time together, checking out all of Lucy's toys, while Jennifer and I chatted.

Mike, Benjamin and I had a Jenga tournament this weekend. We played the game every night from Friday to Sunday and in the end it was declared that Benjamin was the champion. As his prize, he was able to do whatever he wanted to before school on Monday. As it turned out though, we had a snow day on Monday, so he was able to do whatever he wanted (play his Harry Potter Wii game with Mommy and have a pizza lunch) all day!

On Sunday the four of us road tripped down to LaCrosse, Wisconsin for the day. We took the kids to the children's museum, which was fantastic. It was so nice that both of them could enjoy what the museum has to offer.

Benjamin even tried rock climbing for the first time.

I let my blogging responsibility go, I know. It wasn't even because I didn't have anything interesting to post or any photos to post. I have no excuse. Sooo...going back a bit: We celebrated Christmas with my parents and Mike and I rang in the New Year thanks to our gracious babysitters. 

Our youngest nephew Albert celebrated his first birthday. 

And the kids and I have gone on a few outings this month, including a fun trip to the House of Bounce and a visit with my college friend, Samantha, and her two adorable little girls. I didn't get any pictures of the kids all together, but after our visit Benjamin, Lucy and I rode up to Garvin Heights to overlook Winona.
