Happy Birthday!





We celebrated Bethany's 30th birthday with a little dinner party.

Snow Day!

Mary Ann loves being outside in the snow and cold.  



Pretty sure they were having a lot of fun. 

Looks like Mommy and Aunt Michelle were also. 

After being back at work for just three days, we got a break from a snow day.  After 15 inches of snow fell, it was perfect for a little sledding!

Blizzard Fun!

Piles of snow all around

Mary Ann LOVED having us outside with her.


Mary Ann can barely walk around in the snow. 

Really,  she is having fun!  

Glad to be back home. 
We took out our sled for a spin in the 22 inches of snow we got on Wednesday.  It was a lot of work for about 15 minutes of snow fun.  I am pretty sure I had more fun than she did.  I did get lots of smiles out of her.  Mary Ann loved having some company in the snow.

Christmas in Vermont


First trip down to the ice on Margaret's brand new sled!  







We spent four days up in Vermont with the Floeckher side of the family.  Margaret loved being outside in her sled.  A blizzard prevented us from going out in it more than once, but she loved going down the hill in our backyard when the temperature warmed up yesterday.  And yes, we dressed as cowboys one night.

Christmas morning







Christmas with a child is truly incredible.  This Christmas morning it was just our new family and it was SO much fun.  We took our time opening and playing with all the new toys and presents.  Margaret obviously had no clue what was going on, but seeing all those smiles just melted her mom and dad.

Christmas Open House

Not sure who enjoyed the tea set more.

The first of many tea parties they will have together. 

Loved the wrapping paper.
We spent some time at Grandmama and Grampa's house with the extended family.  It gave everyone a chance to see the beautiful babies.
