I got Aiden and Brennan some wigs for Christmas, (they like putting on skits) and I think everyone has taken turns putting them on!

Christmas, New years, and 2 feet of snow! As I sit here finally putting together our latest memory making events, it's snowing again, nearly a foot last night. Aiden and his friend Thad are enjoying the fresh powdery snow right now. I think I overdid it yesterday sledding down the drive on my stomach with Susannah on my back, or could be trying to shovel the snow off the roof. Whatever the cause, my back is sore which makes a good opportunity for me to sit here and do a little nothing!
So much was packed into the very short week that the Robertson's and Resseau's were here. I'm very thankful both arrived safely as they arrived within the two days that all the snow had fallen! Though Reed and Dee did end up taking the longer route it proved for the better I think, knowing the hill was particularly messy that night-especially without snow tires!
Every night was a late night with games, puzzles, coffee, and a good amount of laughter. Peg probably has the better pictures, being that my camera man was 14 and usually distracted by more important matters!
It was a pretty dull day after everyone left, and it's been hard getting back into the swing of things! But we're doing so, ever so slowly!

Dinner time!

Just a bit of the happy chaos that took place!



Dad, movie watching with the kids.
