Oh no, too much snow!!

Well, we have been hit by one of the worst storms in a couple centuries! It sure didn't seem like it was not going to stop. When we woke up this morning, we had about 12-14 inches and when it was finally done, around 8pm, we had about 20-24 inches!! Hard to believe that some people live like this year round!! (I don't want to live in Alaska, just a side note). Tom braved the storm in the morning and was out shoveling snow with our neighbors, each helping the other clear driveways and making paths from one yard to the other. He came in several times to dethaw and dry off.
The neighborhood all got together for some chili and cornbread and while the kids played, the adults also played some board games. We had a great time and are so happy that we have such great neighbors!!
Tomorrow looks like lots of playing in the snow and hot coca!!

Let it snow, let it snow!!!

Hope you all stocked up on milk, bread and TP, because there are non left in Virginia! (Virginians tend to panic at the first whiff of snow) hehe. We are getting a pretty good snow storm here, we are supposed to get almost 20 inches, but we'll see. We are all prepped and ready to go in our house, PJs are on and we had soup and sandwiches for dinner!! Yummy. And my two boys are all snuggled up in their beds!!
But, we plan on playing tomorrow and building a snowman!! Well, at least mommy will while Beau tries to walk in the snow!! Our last snow storm, he did alot of crawling, he couldn't quite lift his foot high enough to clear the snow. But, he didn't seem to mind the cold or wet, he just loves being outside.

I just love this time of year!! Especially the way Christmas lights look under new snow. Hope we get a white Christmas.

Thanksgiving and a dance party!!

We had a great Thankgiving this year!! Beau and mommy watched the parade while daddy went hunting and got a deer!! YEA!! We all look forward to filling our freezer and enjoying a good meal. We made our way over to Aimee's house and helped finish all the preparations for the "feast"!! We ate, we were stuffed and then we all sat around in a turkey coma and rubbing our turkey baby bellies!! It was great. We watched a cute movie, UP. But I think the best part of the day was having Kevin and Terri Bell with us this year!! They drove down from CT and spent some time with us. That is what a holiday is all about, family and food!!
By the end of the night, we had all 5 grandbabies upstairs in PJ's having a dance party in Bailey's room!! I think they had a good time, they all slept really well that night. The boys didn't even mind that they were listening to Hannah Montana! I wish we could keep them as cute as they are now!! I loved watching Dylan and Beau, they just love their big cousins. I must say, Beau does have some rhythem!!
