SNOW!

We've had snow twice this week. The other day I picked Sam up from school and she started doing her snow dance outside. It worked! We had enough snow to cover the ground, make a snowman and have a brutal snowball fight. It was lots of fun. Sam was in heaven.

Here she is doing her snowdance.

The flakes started to fall and tasted good
Our house looked so pretty with the snow

Here's the snowman Sam and Randy made

Chels and Kaitlin all bundled up. Kait stayed the night hoping they wouldn't have school the next day, but no such luck. They got their butts whooped in the snowball fight.

Brrrrrr

Randy and Sam

We came in after this shot to get warmed up

Her snowman the next day

Sam and the snowman before she headed off for school the next day. By the end of the day he was defying gravity. We couldn't believe he still hadn't fallen over!

Sam and Randy's fishing trip

Not too long ago we had a REALLY nice day around 70 degrees. Randy and Sam decided to go fishing. Sam had a blast and definetely wants to go again. She drove the boat going 65 miles per hour. Here's the speed demon...

She spent most of her time calling me every five minutes!!!

Amy, Troy and the girls came up the day after Christmas. As usual, we had a great time. Here is Big Al, Sam and Anne aka Hannah Montana, Gabriella and Sharpay!

Big Al wasn't sure about catching this one! I love her face!
The boys in the computer room. This is where they usually are! On the computer and the guitar.

GG and Mom playing Wii. They were hooked!

We went to see "The Waterhorse" while the girls were here. When we came home, the girls were playing outside and SWORE they found a waterhorse egg. We've buried it and are waiting for the waterhorse to show up in our creek!

Christmas!

Sam's school had a Polar Express Party the last day of school before Christmas. The kids got to wear their pjs to school. They always think that is so cool. They had breakfast (I made 52 pancakes the night before!) and a party afterwards. Everyone had a great time.

Sam and her "boyfriend" Ryan. They've been together since kindergarten..HA!

This is the gingerbread house Sam and I made at school. We are SO proud of it!

Christmas Eve

We spent Christmas Eve at Gramma's house. It was so nice having my Gramma down from Wisconsin for Christmas! Come back next year, GG!!! We had some yummy food, then headed to church for the candlelight service. Then we drove out to this house close to us to look at their Christmas lights, they had SO many lights! The whole time driving we were looking in the sky for Rudolph's nose and thought we saw it a couple times. We had to race home, put out the reindeer food on the lawn and get ready for bed!

Everyone came over to our house for lunch/dinner and we basically played WII all day long! It was lots of fun. I didn't take a bunch of pictures and now I'm ticked I didn't!

Christmas on the Square

We spent the afternoon on the square in McDonough before Christmas. Sam saw Santa, we had lunch and took some pics on the sleigh and in front of the tree.
