First Snow of Winter

Wow!  It snowed on Christmas day!  That's the first time that's happened since 1963!!  Isn't that crazy?

Unfortunately I was sick with the mutant plague (cold) that's been going around so I really didn't get outside too much.  The kids & I enjoyed a snowball fight with my family on Xmas day and I finally recovered enough to go sledding with them that Monday.  The snow lingered longer than we thought it would so that was nice as well.

I love snow!  We're excited to see more of it in 2011!!!

The Best Things in Life Really Are Free

1 large box 

(received in the mail from David & Karen)

2 cute kids

hours of fun!

One game they like to play is "Baby Moses."  Hannah puts a pillow & blanket in the box then instructs Samuel to get in and lay down.  She tells "poor baby Moses" that she's going to push him down the river (as she pushes him around the kitchen).  It's so sweet!!
