A White Christmas (One Day Late)

Although we missed a white Christmas by one day, it was still quite a sight to awake the next morning to a winter wonderland scene...very rare here in NC!

The girls were so excited to see all of the snow out the windows and couldn't wait to get outside. Snow activities included snow angels, snow ball fights, being pulled in the sled, eating the snow, and simply lying in the "fluffy white stuff" that covered the ground. The girls even managed to help Dad clear off the car.


I must admit, I even got in on the fun and built a snowman!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas
from our home to yours!
We hope everyone has a blessed Christmas and
a Happy New Year!

All I want for Christmas...

The girls sat down this past weekend and wrote their letters to Santa, asking for their top 4 items. Here is what they came up with...

Happy 4th Birthday, Lauren!

It's hard to believe that our sweet baby girl is turning 4 today!

Thank you for all your beautiful smiles that brighten our days and your many hours of silliness and laughter. You are a true blessing to our family and we love you very much! We hope your birthday is as special as you and that all of your birthday wishes come true!!

Happy 4th Birthday, Lauren!
WE LOVE YOU!!!!

Aloha!

A couple of weekends ago, we traveled down to Sanford to visit Biz and Doug for the day. They had discovered the Aloha Zoo located only 10 minutes from their house. Upon arrival we learned that all of the animals had been rescued. They were not deemed "perfect," and thus, zoos would not take them.

The girls enjoyed feeding the animals (mainly goats and cows) and witnessing the various animals on the "safari" ride. We even saw a zhorse...the offspring of a zebra and a horse!

Trick or Treat

This year for Halloween the girls had matching costumes...

Virginia Tech Cheerleaders!!!! Go Hokies!!!

And as we know, cheerleaders aren't complete without their favorite football player...

We hope you all had a fun and safe Halloween!

Sister Coordination

Frequently when I take the girls shopping these days, they like to pick out similar outfits. They don't have to match exactly, but pretty close. Here's the latest ensembles the two of them chose.
