More snow!

While we were visiting Grammy and Papa we got another 5 inches of snow! Grammy and Papa have a great driveway for sledding, so we bundled up and headed out. Baylie was loving the snow, even if she was a little cold!

 Charlotte started out grumpy, wound up happy, then was back to grumpy again. She loves her new hat from Aunt Pam and Uncle Rick!

 Charlotte had a fun sled down the big hill with Daddy!

 Then he pulled her back up.

 Chris and Papa decided they were going to have a race to the bottom.

 Charlotte had to pee so I didn't see the winner!

 Grammy and Papa's house looks so pretty covered in snow!

 We took a picture of the four of us in the same spot that we took one exactly 3 years ago. Here is 2012:
 Here is 2009: (I think that was the last time we had snow at Christmas time!)

Caroline got all bundled to go outside too, but she isn't a fan of her snow attire. We have yet to find something that works well. I think the whole crawling in the snow thing just isn't going to end well anyway... She was happier being held.

 She enjoyed sitting on the porch watching too.

 Then she tried to escape...

 Chris took her sledding before Grammy brought her inside.

 Then we headed off to the big hill.

 And then it was time to go inside...

Snowstorm!

Thursday we got our first big snowstorm, over a foot of snow! It was still snowing on Thursday when we got up, and coming down hard, but we ventured out to play. My mom found a ton of my old baby clothes the other day, including a Corduroy snowsuit. We put it on Caroline but she couldn't move, so we took it off, but it sure was cute! Charlotte got to try out her new snowshoes from Babo Skip which she loved, and we went to our neighbors to go sledding! It is so nice to have snow!

Christmas Card Photos!

Here are some of our pictures I took at our Christmas card photo shoot back in November. It was a little chilly but the kids rallied and we were able to at least get some smiling ones!

Christmas!

We had a wonderful Christmas this year. We tried to keep it simpler, but Charlotte totally got it and was ripping into packages left and right! Christmas morning we were all up before Charlotte. We were waiting for her to get up and she finally came out of her room around 8. I wish she would sleep that late on normal days! Grandma and Grandpa had just arrived and were right in time to see the kids start opening packages! Chris got some much needed traveling gear (suitcases) and I got a necklace I have wanted for a long time! Charlotte got her Lego Duplos among other great stuff. Caroline didn't care at all. We had a nice relaxing day and finished off with a wonderful dinner! It was so nice having both our families together!
