Let it SNOW...

Let it SNOW... I can say this since I don't live in Wisconsin anymore!!!So once a year when we go up there we are silently requesting snow to play in! :) We were not let down again this year as we arrived to a nice new snow -- it was still all pretty and white! So the first morning I headed out to Target to get snow pants... well I bought Drew snow bibs that were immediately returned for snow pants due to his refusal to wear "bibs"! The second round Grandpa went and bought a sled for them to use too! A couple of days later, we all put on our snow gear again and went sledding at the big hill that I used to sled at when I grew up there! Oh my... I forgot how intimidating that hill is(especially to walk down... NO comments Michaela) and how crazy busy it is. It was so fun to watch Drew going down the littler hill all by himself then grabbing his sled and marching his way back up. I did finally do the big hill with Madi a couple of times and it definitely brought back the fun memories. No pictures of sledding the hill was too crazy and too wet to have the camera out!

Christmas Morning...

We had a fun Christmas Day at the house! Madi and Drew decided on Christmas Eve that they wanted to both sleep in Drew's room. Needless to say Drew may not let Madi do that again. Madi woke up at 4 in the morning and went to see if Santa came! She went and woke Drew up so he could go see too! She waited until 4:45 a.m. to come and get me to which she was told she needed to go back to bed it was TOO early to wake Drew up -- well me too! We made it until almost 8 a.m. When Drew came down he was dragging and we couldn't figure out why he had no interest in anything under the tree as it wasn't until later that Madi uncovered her above doings... Crazy girl!!! Once Drew woke himself up they both found a small intriguing present. Santa left them iTouches! Madi tore through the rest of her gifts managing to give thanks and hugs at superspeed in between each one. Drew on the other hand only needed his iTouch. We had to ask him to open his other presents. Oh how different our two kiddos are! :)Unfortunately all the excitement and lack of sleep thanks to his sweet big sister... Drew was passed out by 6:30 p.m. He missed Christmas dinner and everything!
Sweet Drew all snuggled up!
