we had a record breaking amount of snow that week. it actually snowed the week before also, but the big storm came the day after we flew in. i say "we" since i was the one who flew out to pick up the girls. it was a lot of traveling, but they're worth it! here's a picture of raylee with her nana (dame's mom). . .
maddie didn't know what to do with herself, she was so excited about all the snow. first thing in the morning (notice she's wearing her pj's under her coat) she wanted to make a snow angel. at this point we only had an inch or two, but that didn't stop her!
here are the girls decorating cookies on christmas eve. maddie was helping but her enthusiasm ran out after the second cookie. the girls lasted longer, although i was the one to finish the project in the end. and, of course, i had to sample a couple.
here's raylee showing us one of maddie's cookies. it was a very interesting cookie with LOTS of frosting and decorations on it. very. . . sweet.
some of shelby's finished cookies. . .
raylee and noel have so much fun together. they're two peas in a pod.
all in all, it was a great week. we were snowed in for the most part. not because we got THAT much snow, but because the roads were pretty dicey and we didn't always have a car to borrow. but we live walking distance from nana's house, a grocery store, a pet store (for our little sammy-poos), a blockbuster, a cinema, and. . . a STARBUCKS! (and there was much rejoicing) ;)
