Snowy Scenes

Our street in the snow



Our backyard was like a winter wonderland

Snow Days

On the third day of our three days at home due to possible snow and ice, we had snow. We got all bundled up and went out first thing in the morning (before breakfast) to play.

 

Lydia felt like she needed her backpack for playing in the snow.

Rowan only wanted to throw the snow at us.

Oh, and snow angels..

and Lydia must do everything her brother does.

We collected snow for snow-cream! It was delicious.

I should say that Rowan collected snow. Lydia had a little snack.

 Bella had a great time in the snow. She was playing like a puppy and following us all over the yard.

At one point, Bella forgot that she was 10 yrs old, and she took off running at full speed across the yard. I haven't seen her run like that in years! Managed to get a picture, but it is a smidge blurry and overexposed. Wasn't expecting her to go flying off through the snow!

Beautiful January Weekend

Happy New Year!

Vacation

 

We played in the glow of the Christmas tree.

 

 

And we played with the map that Emily gave us.

And we were going to take our baby out for a fly around the neighborhood, but it was cold, so we needed our lovely hat that Shannon gave us for Christmas and some good rain boots.

 

Rowan and I built his Lego fire truck. It took us a while, but we did it.

And he had lots of fun playing with it.

I had so much fun this week. I am so sorry to go back to work tomorrow. I can't imagine not being with the kids for a whole day now. I will miss everything about these days, even the temper tantrums. :)

Christmas at Grandmother's

At 4pm every Christmas, family meets at Grandmother's house for presents and then dinner following.

 

Rowan's waiting patiently for present opening to begin.

 

He wanted to sit by Livy when Dad (Granddaddy) moved to the floor to be by Lydia.

Frank. I didn't even notice, to be honest. haha.

Grandmother always sits in the red rocking chair.

Lydia got a Raggedy Ann doll from Harry and Sarah! It is handmade and has the stitching on her heart.

Lydia wanted to sit in this red high chair. This chair was used by many generations. I sat in it when I was a little girl.
