Christmas 2009

Here are some snapshots of everyone opening their gifts at Christmas. The kids were very excited to open all of the pretty wrapped gifts that were left by Santa! The whole process took about 5 minutes and resulted in like 5 bags of garbage and toys flying everywhere!

Christmas is coming!!!!

Here is our Christmas tree. It started out as 9 feet tall (we only have 8 feet ceilings) so Mike had to cut off a chunk. I then quickly decorated it with white and blue lights and silver and blue ornaments. It turned out very nicely! I did realize very quickly though that I had to remove the very bottom layer of ornaments do to one rambuctious toddler and a very playful kitty!! Now we just have to keep watering it so it survives until our visitors arrive in LESS THEN 2 WEEKS!!!! HOORAY!!! :)

Wild Kingdom

This is a picture of Whiskers eagerly watching TV in one of the kids chairs. He actually sat there for some time enjoying an episode of Little Einsteins. It was so cute I of course had to snap a picture!!

Holy Snow!!!!!!

Well...we definitely got dumped on with the most recent storm. As of this morning we had over a foot of snow on the ground. Mike went out at 3AM and came back in at 5:30 and had only been able to get the driveway and sidewalks done....the snoblower couldn't even handle all of it in one go. I am keeping the kids home as long as possible before I take them to daycare and head into work. Hopefully the roads are in better shape then. We now are expecting high winds and extremely cold temparatures in the next couple days....so the fun will continue.

Cacoon Children

Here are som pics of the kids wrapped tightly in their blankets. John asked me to spread his blanket out on the ground and roll him up in it. Of course then Isabelle wanted the same done. Brought back memories of when we used to swaddle them when they were infants....of course trying to carry John now....who is over 40 lbs, is a much harder task!

Wisconsin snow

Here are some pics of our recent snow storm. They predicted 3-5 inches and Mike says we got at least 3. Driving wasn't too bad....now it is just really really cold. we have been in the 20's for the last couple days. We are suppose to get our first 'real' snow storm later this week....so we will keep you posted. So for now...it appears that TN has more snow then WI.....hahahahahaha!!! :-P

Happy Birthday Bunny!!!!!

Happy Birthday Baby Girl!!! I can hardly believe that you are 2 already!!! Mommy and daddy love you so much!!! :)
