BLIZZARD 2010

Do you remember the BLIZZARD of 2010? No...well that's probably because it was the blizzard that really wasn't. BUT there was just enough darkness, snow, and hazardous driving conditions that I got these two lovelies..



to sleepover at my house...and who says Moms don't get sleepovers?!

Blizzard of 2011 bring it on!

FaR. FaR, AwAy!

Kody's family lives in Oregon or "Far, far, away," is how my girls describe it. So this year we spent Thanksgiving with our far, far, away grandparents and family! It took us an extra two hours to get up there because of the bad roads but it was worth it!
The girls loved cooking and playing the piano with grandma!
They loved dressing up in all the fun things grandma pulled out!


And on Black Friday while mom and dad went shopping they got all dressed up

and went down the road to see Great Grandma Nelson and
admire her jewelry collection!


There was eating, laughing, talking, and we were all worn out by the end!

It was a great Thanksgiving!
