SNOW DAY!!!!

We had our first snow day on Saturday and as soon as Aubrey woke up and saw the snow she yelled SNOW BOOTS!!!!!! She ran around trying to collect her snow clothes and we got her dressed! We had two of her favorite girls at our house that morning so it made the day even better! We all got dressed and went for a walk and then enjoyed a few times down a hill nearby on our sleds. The morning was filled with laughter and noise form three crazy girls! It was a special day and I am so thankful to have participated and been a witness to friendships such as these!

We got dressed for our morning out!

I was dressing Samantha and Sydney was helping Aubrey.

The Girls!

Samantha and Aubrey in the sled and Sydney pulling.

Making their way up the hill.

A view from the top of the BIG SCARY HIL!

Sydney

Sam... I love that she has her eyes closed.

Sydney being sill and Aubs waiting her turn...

Not loving it!

When Aubrey got to the bottom she just wanted out ... but she looked cute doing it all :D

We tried our blue sled instead of the red one and she LOVED IT! She went down the hill a few times using her blue sled and as everyone took turns she would call out "hold on tight"!!

We went for a walk .... the girls rode.

Sydney kept finding the largest "snowballs" and wanting pictures of them :D

This face sums up the day!

Family Traditions

Evan and I have been talking about family traditions and how we would love to have a few of our own. This year we started a new tradition of making our own family ornament for Christmas. We did several trial runs before getting the end result, but the evenings of trials were fun and we LOVE our end result!

We made the first example from play dough :D and then attempted the real thing.

Aubrey enjoyed the play dough time and made a few "cookies" of her own.

The first few were a little disastrous!

We had a little more success later! After we were done Evan sanded all

the pieces and then I painted them.

We LOVE it!

A Day With A Friend

I was able to get some holiday shopping done with a friend this week when Evan stayed home with Aubrey and one of her besties Olivia!

I love this picture! Evan was quick on his feet when he gave Olivia Aubrey's chair and then provided for our child with a seat at the table for their lunch! ;D

The girls sharing a seat as they play with our letters...

The girls also shared a picnic...

TOO CUTE!

The girls also didi a few puzzles together...

The girls also played with some fun cars and a track!

A Day With Dad!

I am so thankful for the time Evan spends with Aubrey!

We have had a very busy past couple of weeks and Evan decided he would take Aubrey out for the morning a few weekends ago in order to get in some quality time!

They walked to a nearby park and lake area...

I was DEFINITELY not around for this and just looking at it freaks me out!!

I thank the Lord for an active and caring husband!! He is a true blessing to our family!

A Stay In Michigan

We stayed at a friends house in Michigan over Halloween weekend.

Evan was on a retreat with one of his closest friends A.J. and I stayed with A.J's wife Sarah and their kids. Everyone had a great time playing together!!

We really wish we could get the kids together more often and every time we leave we wish home were a little closer!

It is a wonderful gift to share trials and great times with close friends!
