Snow days!!

Well, we finally got our first 'significant' snow storm of the season! It was on a Friday, so naturally schools let out early and we geared up for the fun task of shoveling out when all was said and done! They boys were so excited! When woke the next morning, we had about 6 inches on the ground and the digging out began! The boys built a fort out front as it was the best packing snow! John and Ryan went around to all the neighbors and without even asking! They actually made a couple of bucks! It will be nice to have a white Christmas!

And then...

Then after those disasterous pictures, I asked again nicely this morning...or should I say "threatened" them nicely this morning....I wound up with this...so Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and all that stuff...HO HO HO!!!!

Some Christmas pics of the boys...

Yea so it was about 5 mins before we were going to walk out the door and I had this brainstorm idea! Let me have the boys all line up in front of our beautiful tree and ask them to sit still for just one picture. Well....the pictures speak for themselves....LOL!!!

Bogart's Vacation....

For those of you who do not know, Bogart is my parents dog. He is the sweetest little black dog. His nickname is 'Bogie' for short. Well, nanny and pop-pop are vacationing in Florida this week and we have the pleasure of having him sleep over our house. So, for nanny and pop=pop in Florida, here are a few pictures of your boy....no, we are not over feeding him!!! Ruff!! Ruff!! Ruff!!! from your boy!!! Ha! Ha!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!!

We woke up Saturday morning to our first snow fall. There was only about 3 inches on the ground, but still beautiful. I woke up early that morning, poured myself a cup of hot coffee, turned the tree lights on and sat there in silence. Yes, silence!!! The boys were all still asleep and I took full advantage of the peace and sat and watched the big, fluffy flakes fall. Cannot believe that Christmas is only 16 days away....in case I don't get a chance to post before then...I would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and the happiest of New Years!

Our fuzzy little friends....

Sometimes we forget how beautiful our surroundings are...just the other day, the boys and I were leaving nanny's house and we came across some of our feathered friends. Nanny has duck food and if you are very quiet and move slowly, they will come right up to you. You don't realize how beautiful they are up close. The colors in their wings and their faces is beautiful!
