Keepin' Cozy

Since we didn't get the kids again until the weekend AFTER Thanksgiving we decided to be REALLY early this year and set up our Christmas tree the weekend before Thanksgiving. The kids were so excited to decorate their first Christmas tree of the year. Not to mention that this is our first tree as a family.

There's this fat little cat named Chet. He's been here for eight years and the kids LOVE him. He's an outdoor cat mind you, so he's not incredibly good at being inside. Well, since there was snow outside and "Poor little fat Chet was freezing" we brought him inside for a bit. You actually can't se how fat he is in these pictures, but trust me...he's HUGE!

Wonderful Winter Wonderland

Last weekend had the kids. It snowed quite a bit.

They had a blast! Scott went out and made a snowman with them.

They were way too excited for how cold it was.

Walker was trying to ride his bike in the snow...he crashed

He decided to stick to the shoveled driveway for a little bit

Don't ask me why Karli doesn't have her coat on

This was first thing in the morning. I just wanted a picture in the snow. He got a little carried away. Don't worry...he was only outside like this for about five minutes before we got him dressed a little warmer.

Yay! Leaves!!!

Remember how much fun jumping in the leaves was???

I know I sure do.

Well, my babies begged me to please make a pile of leaves for them to jump in...how could I refuse???

The neighborhood kids all came over and had to enjoy it as well.
