Night Sledding

NIGHT SLEDDING-- It was a beautiful warm Missouri Evening.

I have always really enjoyed night sledding. So, I took the kids last night while Brandon was here. We trekked up the hill to Grandma's house to go down her hill. The kids really had a good time sledding, making snow angels and taking Oreo for a walk. After we had gone down Grandma's hill a few times, we headed out to Nana's house where the kids played in the snow in her front yard and ate icicles. They had snow races and enjoyed being together UNTIL ... the dogs perked up at something across the highway. Of course, they were convinced it was a coyote, so we loaded up in the van and headed home; where Kent made them hot coco and I made them something to eat. The kids stayed up late watching movies before going to bed! It was a fun night.

Abbey

We got another big snow... Kent wasn't home from work when we got home from school and Abbey noticed that the walk and driveway hadn't been cleared yet. It wouldn't have done any good due to the amount of snow we were still getting anyway. So, she took it upon herself to scoop the snow before he got home. She is a little like her dad, I think.

Cousins

Abbey, Lucy, Delaney, Lily and Hannah

We had a baby shower at our house for Nick and Sarah on Valentine's Sunday. So, some of the girls' cousins made it for the occasion. The girls had a great time playing upstairs in their rooms with their cousins while the ladies had a good time at the shower downstairs. We all had a great time. Nick and Sarah got some nice gifts for baby Viola and it was nice to spend time with family.

We had a baby shower for Uncle Nick and Aunt Sarah at our house on Valentine's day. So, I had to snap a quick picture of our valentine's before everyone arrived.

Abbey turns 9

Abbey will be 9 in a couple of days. She decided to have an American Girl Doll party this year and have her cousin Sarah stay the night for a slumber party so they could play dolls all night long. And did they ever! They were up until midnight doing their hair and dressing and undressing them for bed. Abbey had such a great time. So fun! Happy Birthday, Abbey! We love you!

Poor Nate had to get dressed up by the girls for the tea party. He was such a good sport. They had a great time playing!

Abbey wanted to have an American Girl doll birthday party and have a tea party with a "green"theme. We served fruit and berry dip; cucumber sandwiches; slushies and flowering tea for the tea party. This was all after Abbey's favorite dinner -- Chicken Velvet Soup!
