the kids helped me make our snowmen family.. from left to right--Ethan, Rick, Cade, Me & Ash
Ash the snowmuncher behind her snowman

helping me make Daddy snowman

looking down our sidewalk and street.. I just LOVE snow

Oh...and Ethan was out there with us..just none of our pics had him up close..he was a busy little guy

First Snow of the year--January

yep..Twinkle fits on our little stairs in the back staircase
she looks so innocent here

drinking some hot chocolate

don't worry..it's not so 'hot'

"yeah..I'm a snow eater..whatchu want?"

snow peeps

Efers had fun with my old sled

my angel making a snow angel

rock that snow angel, Efers!

we found a new use for our boogie boards!

thawing out inside

the snow is starting...and Ethan's mowing

how long do you think it took Efers to realize how fun it is to chuck that at his Momma?

Ash was more into eating her snowball

starting to snow..Budgie's testing it out

hmmm..wonder whose eyes and hair she got

Ethan and I at the same age...see any similarities?

Where I found Ash..guess the bed didn't get much use..and you can't see HOW BADLY her room was trashed..little stinker

silly kiddos in Ash's bed

A few weeks ago, when I got a wild hair and decided to change Ash's crib into her toddler bed.. the kids played in there for ages

all bundled up and ready to go for a walk..a frigid walk

Here are a few pics from a late December/early January get together with a bunch of family. Thanks for coming into town guys! We had a blast!
