Snowstorm 2011

So Sunday January 9th it started snowing and it snowed all night. When we woke up Monday there was about 5 inches of snow on the ground. Needless to say the kids were ready to go outside and play at 5:30 in the morning. We held them off until about 9:30. There is a great hill outside our house and by the time we got out there some neighbors were coming from down the street to sled. So sled we did! We played outside for awhile and then had some hot chocolate at our neighbors to defrost. Tuesday was much of the same except now there was a sheet of ice on everything! Wednesday we went for a walk. We were finally able to get out of the house Wednesday afternoon and took the kids to the gym so they could run around. Thursday was much of the same with ice and the gym. Friday things finally started to melt! Saturday was up to about 45 and things have melted nicely- our yard is still covered in snow. It all depends on what side of the street you live on! There was no school the entire week because nothing would melt!

White (Snow) Christmas

We ended up with a white Christmas this year when it started snowing half way through the day. It snowed through the rest of the day and the kids had a blast! The next day we played with our neighbors outside too!

Christmas Day!!!

The kids had a great Christmas again this year! Kennedy got a scooter, baby doll, swing, nerf gun, ds, ds games and a TAG book. Jr got a bike, nerf gun, star war toys, jet plane, wii game and leapsteer games. Daddy got a nerf gun to so they can all have a war. We had a great day with my parents and brother and his family were over for dinner.

Tae Kwon Do

Kennedy and Daddy just got new belts in TKD December. Kennedy is now a green belt and Daddy is a yellow belt.

Decorating the tree

The kids love to decorate the tree! We had to decorate twice this year because our tree fell over and we had to get a new stand and redo the ornaments. Next year should be interesting with a six month old!
