Love and Family Fun

We got a bunch of snow over the past week and have been having fun playing outside.  We visited with family over the weekend and Mommy and Daddy even got to sleep in... on Monday...not so much on Sunday with the kids being in unfamiliar beds!  All is well with A^4 and we are all happy and healthy.

Monday:
Daddy has started cross country skiing at night now that we have a bit of snow pack and he has been taking Ayson with him..."GO, go, GO, Daddy!"



Daddy gave Addie a rose for Valentine's Day and both kids got chocolate (Mommy also got flowers).



Ummm, chocolate drool!



Why yes, I HAVE eaten 4 pieces of chocolate...is that a problem?!  The PROBLEM was that he did not fall asleep until 10 pm!



Mommy also gave the kids music cards with the tune "Heart and Soul."  The cards were a big hit...



as were the puppies and candy that Grandma Pat and Grandpa Roger sent.  Both kids had to sleep with their new best friends the rest of the weekend.



On Saturday, A^4 went to Auntie Julie and Uncle Dan's house to go sledding and play with the cousins.



Everyone had a great time playing in the snow...Addie was not fond of the trek back up the hill as she ended up on her back or making the slow trek in Mommy's arms.



Afterwards, we had a yummy dinner with Grandma Barb (Babs) and Grandpa Jim (Uncle Dan's parents and another set of "adopted" grandparents for Ayson and Addie :)

Auntie Julie got on the floor Sunday morning and it took less than 30 seconds for the kids to find her and all pile on.



After another round of sledding on Sunday morning, we went to Grandma Collene's for the afternoon. Ayson and Daddy were checking the closet for the "Troll" (Grandma) and Ayson was frightened of all the noise the Troll was making in the closet.



Grandma reading to the kids.



Addie was out as soon as she got in the car...she only had a 40 minute nap on Sunday and no nap on Saturday and she still managed to be our sweet baby doll all weekend.



She perked up enough to ride on the horsey (that Grandma Collene is letting us borrow) after we made it home Sunday night...giddy up horsey!
