Snowzilla

We are recovering from a record-breaking snowstorm, over 36 inches of snow!  The kids enjoyed it, but they are still out of school and we are going a little stir crazy!  Thankfully our neighbor snowplowed our street to where the plow stopped so we could get out today!

Also, the kids just tried roller skating for the first time last week for Liliana Henry's birthday!  So fun!

A new year begins!

Well, I had a parenting fail!  I usually blog every month for the kids, but between the internet and my computer not functioning properly Lily never got a December blog.  So we have a lot to catch up!

First, Lily continues to be an awesome young lady!  She's doing very well in school both academically and socially.  She seems to have a nice group of girls she is friends with.  She got invited to a birthday party by her new friend Anna to do laser tag.  I think she really enjoyed it!  On the same day, she also went to her best friend Brooke's birthday party to go rock climbing.  Needless to say, she had a super fun and physical day!  Plus it was cool that she got to experience two new things!

Christmas was super fun!  Lily has really gotten into art!  She asked for oil pastels for Christmas and got several sets.  She's been busy drawing really cool things!  She also continues to love to sew!  She got some cool fabric from our friend Hope and from Bubby in Guatemala.  For Christmas Ashton got to go riding on an ATV, so of course Lily got to go as well!  The smile on her face and Ashton's were priceless!!!!

We spent New Year's with our dear friends Hope and Andy, Patsy and Mark, and Katie and Dan.  Lily and Samara finally got to wear their matching leopard print outfits.  Very cute!
