SNOW!!!

So in my early years in the south I did not understand how the entire town would shut down at the mere threat of wintry weather a.k.a. snow. But the longer I have been here the more I understand why - especially with this being the first really big snow we've had (we had a couple inches last year but that was nothing compared to the 8 inches we got yesterday). They just are not prepared to handle these things and rightfully so - they don't need to spend the money on having appropriate equipment to deal with snow when it only happens once a decade or so. Plus, we are all thoroughly enjoying having to just stay at home and play - especially since daddy is here with us. Much fun has been had!

Christmas

I'm not ready to put up all of the Christmas pictures yet but I wanted to at least get these couple of pictures up (mostly for mom and dad) of the kids in their adorable Christmas outfits courtesy of Aunt Valerie. Thanks Valerie for helping to keep my kids looking so dang cute!
