Since we last chatted...

... we have been busy:

making snowmen from the 8 inches (yes, I said 8 inches) of snow we got 2 weeks ago

conducting important strategic planning sessions ("Daddy, what color marker should I use next?")

driving (and riding in) the Big Wheels Papaw got us for Christmas

And, creating masterpieces out of Play-Dough.

We hope that everyone is staying warm and enjoying time with their families!

Looking to Warmer Weather

As I was looking through pictures from the fall, I can across these. While we still have about 5 inches of snow on the ground in the backyard, it has been in the mid 40s this weekend. But looking at the boys on the leaves makes me think back to much warmer days. Hope you enjoy them too!

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow

Last night after only 1 hours of snow the roads were covered and I knew we were in for some fun day today! We awoke this morning to find about 8 inches of snow on the ground.

The boys started off the morning by watching a DVR'd Christmas cartoon. They are snuggled under a sleeping bag that Uncle Randy and Aunt Kay gave them! (Thanks guys -- the sleeping bag came in very handy today.)

What a pair of cutie pies!

They fell asleep as soon as their little heads hit the pillow tonight. We are looking forward to another fun snow day tomorrow after a long winter's nap tonight!

My Winter Vacation by Benjamin and Ethan

We got to spend a long time (12 days) home with mommy and daddy. On New Year's Eve, it was very nice outside and everyone was well so we went to the park. We got a chance to run around and play on the slides.

We also got to test out the cool wood airplanes that Uncle Evan got us. Daddy made the plane do big loops.

It was really windy but warm --- see our crazy hair??

And, here are our 2 favorite parents!

Earlier in our vacation, we were both not feeling well. (Between us we had 3 visits to the doctor, 3 medicines and a new machine for breathing treatments for Benjamin.) It was very cold outside (mommy took our pictures in the snow) so we did a lot of this:

We can't play unless Ethan's Gigis are nearby!

And we have been wearing the capes that Santa brought us -- we think that Mrs. Claus must have made them! We like running very fast so that the cape flies behind us!

We loved being home with mommy and daddy and seeing all our family over our vacation!
