This past week was our ward party. The kids were very excited about the cookies they got to make, and I just loved how cute Colette looked in Brielle's old Chirstmas "cape"! She would not leave this Christmas tree the entire evening! They had fun...

Playing in the Muddy Yard!

They always look so cute when they first start out...

Typical Ending! :)

Our First Snow!!

We had a momentous occassion yesterday!! I was upstairs with the kids, and Samuel was looking out the window watching the cars drive by as always, and he said, "Mom there's snow." I didn't even know he knew what snow was. We all looked out the window, and it was snowing!! Our first snow for the winter, and the kids' first time ever seeing snow before!! It only lasted for like an hour or so yesterday morning, but we were able to get out there and see it and "play" in it a little before it stopped... The kids were SO excited!! Their first time in snow... (I know it might seem silly to be so excited about a little snow, but this is the first time we've ever lived where it actually snowed in the wintertime -- we're excited to see what it's like!)

(Don't mind Sam's purple hat -- we need to get the poor boy a boy one and a bigger coat... Just had to use whatever we could find yesterday... But of course at this age he doesn't notice yet!) :)

Such a fun memory! :)

16-Month-Old Colette

A little video of Colette for fun -- doing face parts and her version of animal sounds and other fun little things! She's getting so big, and just constantly learning new things every day! So fun to watch them learn and grow... :)
