Winter Fun

Here are some pictures taken about 2 weeks when we had a TON of snow. The front yard was so deep Jessica couldn't even walk in it! The kids dug a fort in the snow and went sledding down the hills made from shoveling the driveway!

Ryan knee deep in the front yard.

Ry, Jess and Breena digging 'the snow fort'.

Jessica was stuck - after I took the picture I had to lift her onto the sidewalk.

Ry's sled went backwards - then he had a hard time getting up - was very funny to watch!

Disney on Ice

Two weeks ago we attended Disney on Ice. It was fantastic!

Ryan was concerned that it was going to be a 'girly princess' show - fortunately it was not! We saw the Lion King, Mulan, The Incredibles, Nemo and other various Disney movies.

Here are some highlights:

Monstro the whale from Pinocchio - Ryan was puzzled as to how the whale was moving on the ice - future engineer??

The end of the Incredibles show.

Happy 6th Birthday Ryan

Ryan turned 6 today. Wow, times flies!

It seems like yesterday that I was holding my new baby boy!

Happy Birthday Ryan!

Tooth Fairy

Ryan lost his first tooth!! The tooth fairy made a visit last night - she left a note & some money in exchange for the tooth. He is very excited! Here is a video from last night.

December

Last weekend we headed to Stokoe Farms to cut down a Christmas tree. It was soooo bitter cold that we ended up buying a tree from the lot instead! Here is a shot of the kids in their winter gear ready to treck thru the fields to find a tree.

A closeup of Jess in her bunny hat. She loves this hat!!

Santa's reindeer!! Which ones are they?

After ~10 letters sent to Santa via the US postal service Santa decided to REPLY to Ry & Jess. How exciting!!!! Thanks to the Chili post office!
