Frosty the Snow Wizard

Our first snow day for 2008....NO SCHOOL....YIPPEE HURRAY! Now of course Alaina LOVES the snow and would play til frost bit if you'd let her. Adeline didn't know what to think at first. She looked on and around in total amazement...."what is all this bright, white stuff?"

Snow Angel it is! Alaina could not wait to make "snow angel's!" What fun the snow brings!

She decides to venture, more like waddle from so many layers, her way around. It doesn't take her long to discover the fun!

YAY, I LOVE THIS STUFF!

Alaina and Dad built a Snow Wizard last night at 8:30. She just couldn't wait to play in the snow. She said, " I just know Dad wants to play in the snow on his birthday!" Happy Birthday Dad from the magical Snow Wizard! Gotta love those night photos!

What a day this snow day has become... last night our heat decides to stop blowing. I awake from the sound of a sweet baby crying at 3:30 to discover it quite nipply. We wake ole' dad up to check things out. After several minutes of huffing and puffing, he decides to get up.

OFF-ON-OFF-ON...."who knows what the heck is going on"

Adeline drinks a cup of milk, we bundle up, begin snuggling and soon fall back to sleep. At 6:30 sweet baby wakes up and we discover dad fast asleep in the recliner guarding the portable heaters. He is covered head to toe...hate I missed a picture of that!

After a couple hours rest, our friend called HEAT decides to work again! YAY!

You think that having a free day off work you'd get lots accomplished....ya right! As if 2 girls running around makes it hard enough, not to mention the most friendly of service men that stay to visit and check our heat unit out for 2 hours.

Now the little one wakes from her nap, so off to entertain!

Thanksgiving/Birthday 2008

Happy 5th Birthday! Alaina celebrated her birthday on Thanksgiving for the 2nd time. 5 years ago we had a VERY Special Thanksgiving when she was born....we are truly blessed! Alaina and Mimi

Nonna and BJ watch the maddness at Goo Goo's as Alaina opens gifts and Adeline runs wide open!

YAY- I love cards that sing, especially Hannah Montana ones!

Thanks guys!

Oh boy, what can this be.....Electronic Guess Who!

Cane Creek Photo Shoot: MSA Photography

Our first attempt for fall pics was shortly ended due to the most wonderful photographer developing the dreadful stomach virus! YUCK! We rescheduled on the most beautiful fall day of the season! A generation picture with Nonna. Of course she hates the picture of herself, but we think she is the most beautiful Nonna...don't you???? We love our Nonna!

Sweet baby fairy...

Posing Princess Fairy....Alaina is a lover of the camera. She was posing here there and everywhere. It didn't matter if the camera was on her or not, she was always ready with a new and improved pose. She is something else!

Me and the girls...this doesn't happen often as Adeline rarely stays in the same place for more than 5 seconds, especially sitting down!

This shot is SO them. On the left you see the sweet, gentle, ever most sensitive Alaina and on the right you see the energetic, demanding, rotten Adeline. Adeline is for sure the highlight of our day!
