Winter Wonderland--Southern Style

So, we had a little snowfall yesterday morning. The weather reports were calling for snow, but we all doubted it. Zach didn't want to go to bed the night before, so I told him that if he went to bed, when he woke up there would be snow outside. He went right to bed and I started praying for snow. :) Carl said "what if it doesn't snow?" I said "I'll deal with that in the morning". Thank goodness when we opened our eyes, we were met with the most beautiful snowfall.

Zach woke up and was so excited! When Drew woke up Zach was squeeling and telling Drew about the snow. They were both just standing there staring out the window. It was precious! So we got dressed and went outside. Here are some pictures.

Happy Birthday Kiersten!

So my sister's oldest, Kiersten, turned 15 this past Weds. I still can't believe it! 3 more years and she'll be getting ready for college! Ok, I'm getting ahead of myself...

Kiersten is also our number 1 babysitter for the boys! She has grown up to be such a responsible, smart, beautiful young lady.

I did a photoshoot for Amy of the kids a couple months ago and Kiersten really liked how her picture turned out, so I thought I'd post it.

Happy Birthday Kierst!
