Leighton goes shopping

A few weeks ago Alicia and I made the trek to Providence Mall with Leighton for a girls shopping spree. I had to share my photo shoot of her with you, she gets cuter everyday!!!

Never too old to sled...

With all this snow we have been getting it was impossible to not get that urge to go sledding. Although it snowed the whole time we were there and it was really cold, we had a great time Saturday afternoon hitting the hills with our tubes. Uncle Zach brought his snowboard to warm it up for Sunday and to show Riley a few moves...I think he was impressed minus that major wipe-out! Buddy came along too and chased after us every time we went down the hill...he even tried to catch a ride on the tube a few times. Everyone had a great time and were completely beat following our escapade. The day ended with dinner at our house for some homemade spaghetti and meatballs and to do a 1000 piece puzzle. It was almost like being 10 again (except the adults could barely walk afterward needed a few days to recover).

Buddy the snow dog

We got hit pretty good with that winter storm this past weekend. Here are some pictures of Buddy playing in the snow New Years day. He didn't want to come back into the house he loved the snow so much. We played pass with the football for awhile and it would get buried in the snow and he had to go nose diving to find it...so cute when he would pop up with the snow on his nose! On another note, Colton likes to eat snow so we have had to teach him all about not eating that yellow snow now that we have a dog!

New Years 2010

We had an exciting New Years Eve over at Heidi's house with a pajama party! We ordered Chinese food (why this is traditional new years grub I have no idea), had some Patron shots, few bottles of wine and lots of games. Catch Phrase again was a big hit, so was guitar hero. This year it wasn't just us and the O'Connells, the Galens, my mom, Corey, Kelly Hunter and her boyfriend Nate, and Phil's friend Beetle joined us. Colton and Riley were the only kids to make it to midnight with the adults. They were really intrigued with seeing this "ball dropping" thing. Unfortunately we counted down with Dick Clark and they didn't even show the ball dropping!!! Very odd...when midnight hit they just showed random people kissing like Dick Clark sucking face with his wife. It really was disturbing for all...did anyone else see that?!?! Yes I could do lots of Dick jokes here but this is a family blog so let's keep it clean...I really wish Dick had that night...ewwwww. Anyways...Happy New Years to all our family and friends...we love you and feel so blessed to have such wonder people to celebrate life and another year with!!!

XOXO - Kelley
