A Visit from Aunt Barb

Aunt Barb came to visit! We started the weekend with an early birthday celebration for her ... a nice dinner, and cake (of course!). Lucas and Megan did a great job singing to her. :) Aunt Barb also taught Lucas (and Megan, with lots of help) how to play Golf (the card game) over the weekend. We had a great time and love it when she comes to visit!

Random Fun

A couple of cute pics of Lucas hanging out with Carl and Hannah ...

Mommy pulled out the baby tub so Lucas and Megan could give their babies (aka stuffed animals) baths. Megan apparently decided to see if she still fits. Lucas was kind enough to cover her and stuff all of her babies around her.






What good is all that snow if you don't do anything with it? We made some snowpeople to hang out in the back yard. Megan didn't like it until Mommy made one that was actually smaller then Megan ... at which point Megan got very happy and kept hugging the little snowperson. Next time we start with the mini version. :) Lucas and Daddy did some target practice and threw snowballs at the shovels ... there were lots of hits!

The Blizzard

Some fun before the blizzard ...

And then came the blizzard ...

Somewhere out there is our street ...

Megan had a lot of fun carrying snow from one side of the driveway to the other. Lucas did a great job helping shovel some of the snow (thank goodness we had the snow thrower for most of it, though!). Oh, yeah ... and there was lots of climbing!
