Merry Christmas

 
Sam got cookies ready for Santa - I told him to leave 3 but he said 12 - we settled on 6!
 
 
Sam wrote a letter to Santa and put it in a bottle - took him a good 10 mins before deciding where to leave it.....

 
.... and of course Santa left a note back =)


Before Bed Sam said it would be so cool if Santa left him a gift under his tree in his room .... and guess what? He did!  Sam was thrilled!!
 

Christmas morning was an early one as usual -up at 6:30am!  We didn't go crazy with gifts so it was over pretty fast!  Sam loved his new Hot Wheels car track


 
And Hannah loved her new doll highchair
 
 

 



 
Sam: Wow Mommy -I must have been really good because I got more gifts than Jesus!

Sunshine Sunday

What a beautiful day!! 
The snow is finally all gone
 
 
Sam wanted to ride his bike - 1 hour later we got home - this kid wears me out!

 
Sam wanted to go to the $ store - I told him he could buy 2 things -
he picked out napkins?!?!?
 
 
Found my old Cabbage Patch Kid mini dolls at my mom's house and Hannah loves them!

Little Picaso

Sam asked me to sign him up for Art Classes and I finally found one!
 
The 1st week was milk and cookies  and this week was
The Nutcracker!
 
 
Its pretty cool how the teacher teaches them how to draw - she said Sam is doing wonderfully at age 5 - he is the youngest in the class!
She said his Nutcracker looks like a guy from Duck Dynasty!  lol
Parents got to participate this week too:
 
Not too bad =)


The last of the snow!

 
After today the snow will probably be gone so we headed outside - no jackets required!
 

 
Finally some grass!  Haven't seen that in a few weeks!

Snow, Snow and Ice

It has been sooo cold!!  Usually it snows and melts before it snows again but this time its sticking around and piling up!
 
The latest storm  brought a few inches of snow and then ice - what a &*%@*& mess!
 
This is our deck - its impossible to clean off!
 


Sam was having a blast sliding around!

 
And its snowing again right now......

Little Moments


I know its a grainy picture but what a sweet moment - Hannah laid down next to Sam and he was gently rubbing her hair
 

then they snuggled under the blanket
