Snow Day!

The weather here did not call for snow, but snow was brought in! Maddie & Katie's preschool trucked in a large about on ice and the kids got to experience snow. It was so fun!

The snow arriving

The snow just dumped

The kids got to watch the truck dump the snow - it was cool!

Coming out to their "fans" and "paparazzi" - aka, parents

The elders from the senior care got to see the snow too - they were so cute! Some of them had never seen snow before.

Maddie looks so ready to throw that snowball

We took the girls to see the city lights downtown. Emily was thrilled.

Maddie looks a little concerned.

After numerous attempts, we finally got a decent photo. I forgot to put Emily's hairbow on. Oh well.

Family photo - not as successful.

Always time for a merry-go-round ride

Again, Emily is thrilled to be there.

A little happier Emily - she turned 7 months on December 12! YAY!

LOTS of catch up to do!

Wow - we sure have been busy - this blog is sooooo out of date. We will play catch up today by posting a ton of photos to get everyone caught up.

Emily turned 5 months old on October 12

Celebrating their 3rd birthday at school

Birthday with Chace & Paige!

Maddie, Olivia, Katie - I knew Olivia's mommy when we were both pregnant and the girls all did summer school together last year at Montessori - now they are all in preschool together (in different classes) and are born 2 weeks apart.

Our family

Emily was a sushi for halloween - I made her costume after watching Martha Stewart do one - she is my inspiration.

Trick-or-Treating at Ward Warehouse - yes, in the liquor store. Too bad they didn't give the mommies and daddies a "treat"

Hugs to Trey

We ran into our after school care teacher, Mrs. Wong when we were trick-or-treating
