First Flurries

The rain turned slush turned flurries turned big ole fat snow flakes started tonight and quickly fell so that the tops of cars were white.  

We however realized too late that we had run out of water, so Daddy hurried out before the snow got too bad.  

The next morning, they were thrilled and cold enough to snuffle for a little while before begging to go out in the snow.

This is how Anna and I do snow days, late afternoon naps.

And we made snow cream.............delish.

Before the storm rolled in

It has been cold but we thought we would let the boys get some much needed energy out before the snow storm rolled in.  It was predicted that it would snow severals days, but here the storms pass so quickly I will wait till is see it to believe it. 

Our Nigerian friend came over for dinner and taught Anna and "Ella" how to carry babies in his country. 

It was so sweet watching her walk around like this. 

Our sweet girls trying to hang with her brothers.  Hide and Seek was the game and she found the best but most obvious hiding spot.  Under their bed.  

Christmas PING PONG

A couple days after Christams our friends came and we welcomed them to help play with one of Drew's new toys.

Ceyda was quite competitive.  And she won against Drew. 

Anna was busy playing with her new best friend.  

And helping the cheering section.  

Christmas 2015

Christmas Eve and their PJs are on, and the next to last ornament is going on the Jesse tree.  

These little people kill me with their different personalities...........I love that they all see things a little differently than the other.

More presents from Grandparents.

Bitty Baby Doll.........later to be named ELLA pronounced "EYA"

A little Momma organizing her girls' things and playing dress up.

And we entered the LEGO world this year also. 

Out to Christmas lunch at one of our favorite places.  Before we had our Yummy Christmas dinner that night. 

Christmas Eve 2015

My sweet girl patiently and intently entertaining herself as she waits for the rest of the family to get ready for the family pic.  She found her Daddy's shoes with out the laces and happily clomped around the house.  

The best we could get for a Christmas pic this year altogether.  I love self timer.  

We let the kids open one gift each that afternoon.  

Doc Mc Stuffins was a hit. 

Everyone wanted to play Dr.

the boys turn,  the presents they got each other.  

And..........introduce TRANSFORMERS.  These proved to be a all day task for Drew and I as we transformed back and forth from one thing to the other.
