1 inch

all the kids need is one inch of snow... one inch and they are happy as clams

too bad it only happens once a year here. 

sure does make for cute pictures though.

party time

these girls are three peas in a pod-

they love playing together and it is so fun to have them all in our 

neighborhood.  the kids had a great time at her birthday party

a surprise visit

Grandma pam fit in a quick trip to see the kids.... and man were they in heaven.

she came to see all of their lessons and they loved showing off for her.  

and played lots and lots of piano.  

it is always so sad to say goodbye to her.  Thanks for making the kids feel special.

playing over break

We love hanging with the mayberry crew.... 

so we usually try and fit in as many get togethers as we can during breaks

we spent the day bowling and feeding the ducks.  always a fun day out.

merry christmas

This year i didn't take many christmas morning pictures...

we were having way too much fun

But it was great.... having three little kids on christmas morning is the best.

Goodbye sweet helpful elf for yet another year.  

I have been grateful for your nightly reports to santa for

helping us through this wild season....

and for telling each of the kids goodbye on christmas eve.

For christmas eve we let the kids open these adorable homemade robes made by none other

than the best nana around.  At first emory refused to come near hers- then when she decided she loved it she started calling it her "bow"  so forever more the robes in our house are now called bows.  

thank you emory for helping us all to become less intelligent.
