Winter Wonderland

We've just had unbelievable amounts of snow this winter! I think it's something like three or four times the normal amount. I don't mind the snow. We live in New England it's a part of living here. Patrick is absolutely in love with the huge amounts of snow. If I let him he'd be outside all day with jut minimal breaks. Renee is not as enthused with the weather. Poor thing she can't walk yet, and if she tries to crawl it hits her in the face. She's a good sport though. My Mom has some great videos of the kids, I'm going to try to post them in the next few days. But for now here's a few pictures to keep you entertained.

It's been a bit cold in the afternoon lately so, we haven't been able to get outside. One of Patrick's new favorite activites is for me to take video of them. So here they are!

Santa Clause is Coming to Town

Patrick is terrified of Santa Clause. But, he is a big part of Christmas so we've been trying to warm him up to the idea. We've now gotten to the point where Santa is allowed to visit our house on Christmas Eve, but he must leave the gifts outside. Mommy and Daddy will then bring the presents into the house. Every year in my parents town of Dighton, Santa visits everyone and throws lollipops from a fire truck. I remember this tradition from when I was little, and I really want my kids to be able to enjoy it too. So, on Sunday we brought the kids down and waited for Santa. Patrick was very excited to see the firetruck come, and thrilled to get the lollipops. He also was glad to see Santa go. He kept checking all afternoon and evening to make sure he was really gone. " Santa go home. He make presents for Patrick." Renee was less than thrilled with the whole ordeal. It was very cold which she doesn't care for, and she was terrified of the horns on the firetruck. I'm hoping for a bit more enthusiasm from both of them next year.


Waiting for Santa Here he comes!

I don't like Santa either
