Happy New Year!

Mark and I went out for the 1st time since who knows when!!  We went with a bunch of friends from the neighborhood and had a blast!!

 

 

Happy New Year!

Where's Sam

 

Oh there he is!

A sad day

 

 

Always loved

Never forgotten.

 

We will miss you granny!

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!



Christmas PJs

 

I finally got them done!!

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!



More snow fun!

Sam is loving the snow!  Yesterday it snowed another 2 inches!

 



Its suppose to warm up this weekend though and then we will have a

wet and muddy mess!!!

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

 

On the road again

.....just cant wait to get on the road again....

 

We headed to MD again this weekend

 

Party on Saturday that my mom helped host for some local special needs kids

 

Hannah got a pink angry bird

 

and Sam got a transformer!

 

On Sunday we met up with friends for our annual viewing of A Christmas Carol at Ford's Theatre

 

And the kids stayed with Grandma

 

And we visited my Grandma - Mom send me some pics please =)
