Family of Snow

I LOVE making snow-people each winter... reminds me of younger years with my siblings, and is just fun!
The kids mostly enjoyed watching mom and dad make the snow-people... maybe next year they'll join in on the fun! :)
Snow Susie: Snow April (looks just like me!):Snow Lennon: Snow Dave:The whole fam:

Purple-People-Eater

Silly Susie found all the purple snow clothes we owned (who knew we had so much purple winter attire?) and with much energy performed her best monster moves.

Snow Days...

I love the sparkle of falling snow and crunching it beneath my heavy boots. Yes, it can be too cold at times, but winter (during its allotted time) is welcomed by me.

Heaven Bound Valentine

I let Susie pick out a box of Valentine cards at the grocery store to send to her cousins and Grandparents. When we got home, Susie chose one by one which card would go to this cousin or that cousin, etc. I asked her what she wanted to say on each card, to each individual.... and I jotted down exactly what she said, even the weird, random things (such as I love Sophie and I love socks! And stickers too!).
When she was choosing a card for my nephew Aaron Jr. she said something that was just too sweet. She said:
"Mommy, let's throw a card up to Heaven for Aaron's Daddy... Uncle Aaron. I think he would like that. I love Uncle Aaron."
Pull at my heart strings... I smiled at her sweet little face and told her that would be a great idea, and that surely Uncle Aaron would LOVE a Valentine from her. She choose the following card with care....

.... so Happy Valentines Day uncle Aaron... brother. You may not be able to catch our Valentine, but we hope you always catch/feel our deep love that is for you. Te amo.
