Happy New Year!

It's a new year and therefore it is time for a new blog. We wish you all a Happy New Year and hope it's better than the last!

Is It Worth It?

The kids have been dying to play in the snow. We have had an incredibly mild winter so far and haven't had much to play in. We finally got some snow, but it was incredibly cold out. Brent braved the cold and went out with the kids for about 1/2 hour. They had fun though!

Saying "hi" to Mom!

Hannah's rosie cheeks after being out in the cold. They were her only exposed skin.

Santa Dropped His Loot

It's Christmas morning!!!  I woke up this morning to voices in the room next door (Lisa's).  I was afraid that Hannah had woken her up, but Lisa was just as excited for Christmas as Hannah was so they were up giggling together.  Hannah was also up in the middle of the night checking out what Santa had brought her.

Sitting on the stairs waiting to go!
