Stuck in the Snow!

The day before our 10 day stretch (10 days today) of being stuck at home in the snow and ice . . . The Boys met Santa!! They actually took to him. . . looked at him a little confused at first, but I think they will develop a good friendship over the years! At least no tears were involved. . . something we can't promise next year.

Stuck inside and having fun- we have found a new favorite toy in our house! Above is Tyler, below is Carter . . .

Decorating the Tree! The boys love the lights.

And Tyler's favorite activity, romping on his brother. It's pretty funny. He loves to tackle him.
Now for snow coverage . . . literally. We are covered!

This is the view outside our front door a few days ago- we have gotten even more snow!

















Our backyard. Yes, these are the stacks of pavers Travis is installing. You can see that project is on hold. That back wall is about 9 feet high. . . so the drifts- 5 to 6 feet. Incredible!










And lastly, our cars. You can see how much snow is piled on top. We have over over a foot without drifts.

7 Months!

Carter (above) and Tyler (below) wish you a very happy holiday season!

I still can't believe these little guys are already 7 months old! Where does the time go . . . really?! Tyler has already said his first word: he has said "mama" now a couple times when he has wanted to be picked up. Okay, I know he doesn't mean to, and it really doesn't count, but it's still cute and I'll hold onto it till he ACTUALLY says his first word. They are so close to crawling. You'll notice it's two legged scoot right now- Carter shows it off in the video. And their obsession: Maizy. They can't get enough of her.

The Long Awaited Thanksgiving Pictures

Our little men got all dressed up for their First Thanksgiving.

Moment of the Day: It wasn't what we are used to! Papa is usually the one asleep and snoring on the couch. But Nana was the one this year! She and Carter were so cozy napping together.

Below is Tyler- loving the Toy Giraffe!

Both boys slept through most of dinner. Carter woke up just in time to join everyone (he is above). And Tyler awoke to join us for pumpkin pie! (for him it was sweet potatoes- see below)
