A Full Tub!

After spending the day playing in the snow, we put all three in the big tub for some bath time fun!

Snow Fun!

Tickled purple about the snow!
Aidan was beyond happy!

First order of business: snow angels

Getting Daddy to pull them up the street

Bubba's turn

"Cheese"

Nealy, ever resourceful, was trying to rake the snow.

A rare still moment for Buggy.

"I can't find my hands!"

"Hey guys, this thing doesn't go by itself!"

Three snow babies

We had quite a snowstorm (for the south!) last Monday. Wes got three days off school! We got around four inches of snow, followed by a couple inches of freezing rain. NOT FUN! The kids all loved playing in the snow, and we were able to get out a couple of times to play before the rain started. Nealy and Aidan were so sad when it started to rain, they put a few snowballs in the freezer for a later date!

Meeting Michael

Maeve loved the baby
Michael and Wes

Lala's little boys

Nealy is an expert baby holder

Holding hands...not sure how Michael felt about this!

wearing their train shirts

Bubba loves babies too!

Maeve did not want to be left out!

While we were in Michigan for Lala and Joe's wedding, we got to meet our newest cousin Michael! And since I have NO pictures of the wedding or our other cousins (seriously, how did that happen???) I'll have to post a bunch of the ones with Michael. We sadly didn't get to stay at the reception, due to some sick kids, so I missed out on all the dancing pictures!

SNOW!

Playing with Gramps!

These two are very close!

Go Gramps, Go!

Loading up!

Maeve's first time around the yard! She loved it!

A fully loaded sled!

Bub trying to pull Nealy!

Pure BOY!

Love this one of Buggy, she's hard to catch in action!

Happy to be a part of the sledding with the big kids

Little Mae-Mae

Maeve wasn't sure about walking around in her boots, but took Gramps' hand

Nealy's turn to pull Bubba

Maeve and Gramps

We drove through lots of snow on our way to Michigan. Ironically, the further north we went, the less snow was hit! We decided that we better get the kids outside quickly after seeing a forecast for higher temps and some rain. We got two days of playing in the snow/ice before the rain came.

Christmas

Maeve loves her big brother! Listening to daddy read T'was the Night before Christmas

had to include this picture, a very common scene around our house.

Opening the last of their "Christmas countdown" books

Christmas Eve jammies

Waiting to get the "okay" to come downstairs!
Christmas could have stopped right here for this little girl!

Aidan likes Maeve's pony too

Maeve and her pony

Nealy and her pony...

Aidan was THRILLED to have his very own Michigan hoodie!

We had a great morning with the kids. They all seemed to be very happy with their goodies, and had a great time opening gifts. So much fun! Nealy's favorite gift was her "Julie" doll, Aidan got a very BOY big wheel, and Maeve her little rocking horse!
