Let's just say that the gate is now back up at our house.

Super Bowl
Even though we aren't big football people at our house, we do still watch the premier football event of the year - the Super Bowl! This year, it was the Green Bay Packers vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers. Since Wisconsin is closer, we went with the Packers, although honestly we really just watched for the commercials!
During the pre-game show, Jason blew up Hannah's "trampoline" (a.k.a. tube).
What's Super Bowl without the food?!? I made sub sandwiches, stuffed mushroom caps, and nachos with guacamole.
I thought about eating in front of the tv, but then thought again. Maybe next year.
Watching the National Anthem.
It didn't take long for Hannah to have much more interest in her trampoline than the game. As she was jumping, her pants kept falling down (skinny girl!), so we let her take them right off.
Catching some air! 
Jack doing his 8 oz. curl before the end of the night. What a big boy, holding his very own bottle!

As for the game, I know it was a close game, but don't remember the score. I do know that we chose the right team, and Green Bay won.

Auto Show 2011
As has been our annual family tradition for a few years now, we made our way to the GR Auto Show today.
We saw all kinds of beautiful vehicles.
We went during Jack's naptime, hoping he'd fall asleep in the stroller. However, he didn't want to miss a thing and stayed awake the entire time.
Hannah had fun trying out all the new cars with Jason...
...and testing them out on her own as well!
Of all of the foreign luxury cars Hannah had to choose from on the Million Dollar Mile, she picked the red Corvette as her favorite. Can't blame her. She has American Muscle in her genes :-)
We happened to have a primo view of a couple of cirque de soliel-type artists performing on platforms high above the crowds. (Side note - Notice the thumb in the mouth. We had a pretty miserable night last night as Jack cut tooth #2!)
Oh yeah, ladies, check him out!
Of course, Jason and Jack's favorite car was the new Porsche sedan. Our next family vehicle perhaps?? All ours for only $110k!

After all of the hustle and bustle of the show, we had one tired guy by the time we got home.
Snow Babies
After our snow storm, we had a few beautifully sunny days. Tired of being cooped up inside, I bundled the kids up and took them out to play in the snow.

Jack was happy to get some much needed fresh air.

Blizzard 2011
We survived Snowmageddon.
This is what we woke up to on our deck this morning.
Hannah was so excited to get outside and play. Jack was just happy to stay in his jammies all day.
Jason spent A LOT of time blowing out the driveway. It was so deep that it buried the snowblower.
I heard the official GR total was 16".
Later in the afternoon, the sun came out, so I took Hannah outside. She kept asking to "get up there" on top of the piles of snow along side of the driveway.
Thankfully she's light as a feather, so she could walk on top of the snow. When I walked on it, I was up to my knees!
JJ was swimming through the snow and loving it!
After a short time, we discovered that the sun was deceptive, as both Hannah and I were freezing! Time to go in for the night.
