We took the liberty of showing our neighborhood how to build the proper snowman.  With our couple inches of snow this morning we had just enough to get out there and shovel as well as throw a few snowballs.  It's the first time I've ever said "Let's hurry up and get the face on before it melts."  Hopefully he survives the week, as Andrew is quite fond of him. 

Christmas Card Out Takes

 While each of the kids are photogenic individually, when together I can't ever seem to get a great photo of them.  They're either giggling too much and I can see the back of their throats or Annebelle's dress is up, or one of their heads is behind the other or they're looking up or down or at the cat.  We took about 25 pictures and ended up with...

 

...this one as our Christmas card this year.  By the way, if you didn't get it then I don't have your address - email me.

Birthday Party - Home

Once back in Kentucky we had yet another birthday party for Mr. Andrew!  This time we had a bunch of our friends and neighbors over for cake, ice cream and bouncing!

Don't you love this picture:  Adult supervising with a beer and kids (who can't read) reading the directions/safety provisions.  There's bound to be at least one injury with this combination. (And there was!  Fortunately it was just a cut lip on our child).

We surprised Andrew with the bounce house.  The guy pulled up to set it up and while Andrew was eating breakfast he looked outside and very calmly said "Mom, did you know someone is outside setting up a bounce house in our yard?"  I said, "Really, that must be a mistake.  I'll go tell him he has the wrong house."  Andrew's response "Its ok.  You know I really wanted a bounce house for my birthday."
