Guess who came for a visit?

Grandpa and Grandma came a few weeks ago. Grandma stayed busy entertaining the girls (mostly Addie who was incredibly excited the whole time they were here)

Megan was pretty sick

Olivia getting a beading lesson from Grandma

Grandpa (aka the computer whisperer) fixing our computer. Many thanks!

Snow . . . lots and lots of snow

Nothing quite like waking up to this! This is pretty rare around here, so we're documenting it with plenty of pictures.

We hit the powder pretty early (as you can tell from the snazzy hairdos)

We weren't as prepared as I had hoped, so we made some boots out of shopping bags. Don't worry - we stayed in the backyard.

Happy Addie.

Not so handy

And now it's finally done (despite all the help)

I know . . .

It's about time I posted something.

And yes, I am posting Christmas pictures in February.

Christmas morning - happy chaos.
