SNOW!!

We got our first real snowfall of the season yesterday, so this morning I took the opportunity to take the kids out and introduce them to snow. Last year was so cold and they were still so little that I didn't take them out. The weather was perfect this morning, so out we went!

Emaleigh didn't like the snow at first. She cried when I set her on the driveway. Eventually she got used to it and even ate a few bites!

Derek didn't seem to mind it at first, until he tipped forward. The snow was just deep enough that when his hands hit the ground, his face was planted in it. He really didn't like that at first, but by the time we came inside, he protested mightily. He wanted to stay out and play some more. Typical boy!

Halloween (Finally)

Now that it's December and there is snow on the ground, I think it's finally time that I get the Halloween pictures posted! I mean, it's not like I have anything else going on, right!

Emaleigh looked super cute as Tinker Bell. She wasn't quite sure what to make of the wings, and really didn't want them on at first. She kept reaching back to pull them off. Eventually she got used to them and left them alone. Derek was dashing in his Vikings costume. I was a little worried about the white pants, but they stayed pretty clean.

The kids were really tired and crabby when it was time to go Trick-or-Treating. We had a confirmation earlier in the day and they really didn't get much of a nap. We only took them to see the Grandparents. They always love to see the kids.
