Building a snowman with the neighbors.

Fun in the snow!

Since I missed out on the snow fun, I got to make a mess with spaghetti-o's.

Checking out the first snow.

Brother/sister loving. (Posing for the photo op - below is actually ops normal.)

Fun while cooped up at home. School was cancelled all week!

Kaden & his girls at the play area in the mall.

Wish we could ride a real one!

Kennedy and Annie checking out the sea turtles. This one was bigger than the girls.

Pics from our visit to the aquarium. This was a kids dream - lots of buttons to push and toggles to switch!

We had a great time visiting the Abby & Annie in Norfolk.

Here was an amazing feat - getting all four in the same photo shoot without too much blood, sweat & tears.

Kaden & Dad were pros out on the ice.

Roasting marshmallows for s'mores.

The evasive marshmallow

WINTERFEST IN OLD TOWN MANASSAS

Speaking of birthdays...Congratulations to our cousins Jessica & Benjamin. Their baby boy was born January 19th. Although a little early (8 weeks) and weighing in at 2 lbs, 15 oz - he is thriving. Welcome Benjamin Thomas!

Chloe's storybook themed party was a hit and she was the star princess with lots of squealing and laughs.
Birthday girl!

Not walking yet, but quite the daredevil. Next - Mount Everest.

We made the cold journey up north to New York. Even Grannie and Grandpa traveled from Texas.

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY, CHLOE ELIZABETH!

The kids loved catching bubbles.

All four loved every minute - from the stinky loud mouth, to the scary cave tour, to dress up on the stage.

Goodbye hugs.

As usual - doing a little blogging catch up. We had a great day in Richmond with the Driskells at the Children's Museum.

Grannie with the swimmers

Grandpa and Kennedy taking a dip

Kennedy is watching Grannie and Sam very closely. Hope she doesn't get the horse bug too early!

Look who's swimming with the rays!

More aquarium fun

I think this grouper could gulp up Kaden in one bite

Or maybe Kennedy is the next marine biologist.

Her squeals reverberated throughout the aquarium.

Kaden - the next Cousteau

Free tastings - Yummy!
