Computer Died

If any of you were wondering if I quit blogging.... NEVER! My computer died. Very sad day around here. I miss blogging. Love you all.

First Snow!

This past week it has really started to get cold around here. I told the kids that if they're cold they should just wear their hats in the house. (heat is expensive)

Poor little buddies were freezing...

This morning we woke up early, ready to have a fun day of Christmas decorating.

Teamwork!

Finalllly Macker with a real smile.

Family! The star!!!
Next we bundled up and got ready to play in the first snow of the year!
Ready!?!?
It was a true winter wonderland.
Mac hated the snow last winter but today he LOVED it! What a difference a year makes.
JUNEDOG!
More June....

Sissy flew down the hill.

The kids got pretty tired on the walk home from the sledding hill.
Lucky for them, they have a really strong dad.

We Love Grandpa!
