Let's Have a Sleepover

There were silly boys...


...and giggling girls.


Last time it was at our house, this time it was at theirs. They always have so much fun together!

Snow, Snow, Everywhere!

It snowed... just a little. I took the first 3 pictures at 8:30 in the morning.... it finally stopped snowing about 9:00 that night.




By 11:00, The kids were ready to play out in all that white stuff while I attempted to unbury the sidewalk.

^--- On the sidewalk ready to wade out into the yard.


^--- In the middle of the front yard. The kids are standing here! Cassidy found a rock to stand on so I could see her better. :)



It was cold, but fun!

Gingerbread Fun!

Visiting Santa

Cassidy had gone prepared. She had written Santa a list (unbeknown to us) and presented him with it when he asked what she wanted for Christmas. Her list was pretty simple. It just said Easy Bake Stuff. :)
