There's always drama with these two cuties!!!

Let in SNOW!

Ryan and his friend Amy took the kids for a ride on the trailer behind the Razor. The highlight was when Katie and I got pulled on the sleigh behind the trailer. The kids loved it and I thought we were going to die. Sorry for the naughty words Kate! I forgot how much fun you can have in the snow.

The only thing better than building this giant snowman in Grandma's front yard at Christmas...... Was blowing up the snowman in Grandma's front yard on New Year's Eve.
