New Year's Eve and some snow!

Cole and Kaydra prepare for New Year's Eve festivities. They each had a few friends over to help them celebrate the new year. They had fun running outside to make some noise at midnight. It was a little on the cold side so they weren't out for long. We also had some friends and family over to and celebrate. We all had a wonderful evening!

The girls are excited!

Now they take a moment to relax on the bed and watch tv

The other girls take a moment to burn some energy byjumping on the bed!

The boys play some games

An intense game of Mad Gab

Claire and her friend Avary!! Avary keeps Claire in line :)

Audrey & Payton stop to pose, Claire & Avary wanted nothing to do with it!!


Here's a picture of some of the snow we've had so far this year. This was taken a couple of weeks ago so its a bit outdated. We have more now.


We've been having fun building snow forts in the front yard. What began as a small indent in the side of a snowbank has evolved into a little snow community, complete with walkways, tunnels, and snow chairs!


Cole and Claire play in the snow fort. Claire loves the snow, but usually returns indoors a little sooner than the other kids.


Kaydra and Claire relax on the couch with their beverages of choice (Sunny D for Kaydra and chocolate milk for Claire)


Happy New Year!!!
