Let It Snow

We finally got some snow!  Maddie and Ty didn't remember snow since last winter we didn't get any!  Ty wasn't crazy about the idea of getting all bundled up.

Maddie, on the other hand, loved the snow!!

Ty still not digging the snow.

So Maddie and I stayed out while the boys were inside putting together the air hockey table.

We built a snowman.

enjoying our time together

Don't laugh at our midget snowman.  Daddy thought it was hilarious!!

Art Projects

Ty was sick the week before Christmas.  So we had to stay home from a basketball game!  Since we were home, it was a good opportunity to do some art projects.

The Aunts

After opening gifts at Ma and Pa's, we went to Aunt Ellen's to open more presents!!

Aunt Margie, Aunt Ellen, and Aunt Rachel were all there and do a good job of spoiling Maddie, Ty, Carson, and Logan!

The crowd watching Logan open some gifts.

They were getting pretty good at ripping open their presents!

What is Pa doing?

Lincoln Logs


more Captain America stuff

more princess stuff too

Christmas at Ma and Pa's

We had planned on going to Ma and Pa's at some point on Christmas day and spend the night.  However, Pa called us on Christmas morning and told us that is was going to snow and we might not be able to get back on Wednesday.  So we hurried up and went to Wilmington just for the day.  We wanted to be snowed in at our house!

Christmas Morning

Maddie couldn't wait to see if Santa came!

She was happy to see that he brought presents!

Ty was a little nervous to look.  He was a little nervous he was going to get coal.

Papaw was in charge of the trash.



"This was on my list!"

I think everything is finally opened!

Where are we going to put all these toys?  Santa forgot to bring us a new house!

Silly Uncle Adam

By the end of the night, Ty was exhausted.  He has been sick and was tired from our Pittsburgh trip.  I was enjoying some desserts!!
