Blizzard Blessings Day 2.......

Blizzard day 2.....Daddy and Keagan made it home today!  Not up the drive in the vehicles but they walked...our drive is always impossible to get up if it snows!  

Keagan helped Ava build a snowman and they set up all the geese decoys and pretended to hunt in the goose blind Keagan got for Christmas!

Everyone getting in the action! Ava and  Kerrigan loved it!!

Kerrigan has decided she is an extension of Momma!  She can't separate from my hip!  It's super sweet and a great bonding sign....the house might get cleaned up when she starts Kindergarten! 

Blizzard...Beauty!

December 26.....awoke to a blizzard!  It's beautiful!  Ava wanted to go outside before 730 in the morning;).  We got at least 13 inches of snow with drifts that are huge!    Soooo pretty!  It's just us girls today!  Daddy is stuck at work!  Keagan stuck at Megan's by St Louis and Dayne back at college!  Momma had to go feed Simba the cow in the snow;/ we didn't loose power though so we are just hanging out in the house staying warm and enjoying the day!

Christmas Morning Magic!

her for the snack!!

We were suppose to go to Nana's in the afternoon but Brody has a touch of stomach flu and we decided to stay home and not get that for Christmas!  We all were lazy all day and didn't even get out of our Jammie's! 

Today  we are under a Blizzard warning!  Nothing yet though!
