Snow Day in Franklin!

We have snow! About 4 inches of it. We headed outside around 9:30. The babes lasted about an hour and Jackson was out almost an hour and a half.


A view from our front porch.

Ainsleigh making a snow angel. She had fun falling down.











Cooper making a snow angel too.












Ainsleigh and Cooper sledding. Look at the bottom of Cooper's boot. The snow kept sticking and making them have platforms!

Happy New Year!!

We celebrated New Year's Eve at our house with our friends, the Mitchells and the Codlings. It was very low key but the kids had fun running around playing with each other.

The festive night!











The A girls.....Ava, Ainsleigh and Addy "chalking" as we call it on our new easel.










Handsome Jackson drinking sparkling grape juice.









Brendan being silly!













Ava showing off her hat that wouldn't stay on her head.











Addy in her fancy pink shirt. Her blower was the perfectly matched accessory!













Ainsleigh had already changed in to her jammies. We aren't sure why....





My kids were attached to Tim for the night. They ran and would jump into his lap and wanted him to hold them. We decided he needs twins:)











Addy and Jackson toasting the new year.



Ava was all about Jackson. She chased and chased him all night....






....and finally caught him. She gave him lots of hugs!









The boys were still up at 11pm looking at Jackson's scrapbooks. No, I don't have the twins baby books done, but one day I may get to scrapbook again!

Ainsleigh was already in bed which was a shocker!









They did it!!!!! The boys stayed up until midnight to see the ball drop. The next morning Cooper was fussing at Jackson and I asked him why. He wanted Jackson to turn on that "ball dropping again".




We all survived New Year's Eve. The babes took their new car out for a spin on January 1st! Cooper is a pretty good driver. Ainsleigh not so much. She actually would rather ride with Cooper which works out pretty well for the moment...wonder how long that will last??!!
