Greetings from Pennsylvania:

we are back east... and loving every second of being here. this morning we woke up to this... i ran back and woke tanner up..."it's snowing, come on, come on..." he said, "i know, i couldn't sleep- i was so excited." he couldn't get on a snow suit fast enough. my dad plowed the driveway (him and tanner hooked the tractor and plow the night before). maddex is simply amazed by the snow, the coldness, and the tractor. we are stranded- and it is such a great feeling. i had a moment this morning... standing in the breeze-way... my dad was plowing the driveway... tanner and maddex were playing in the snow... my mom had the candles lit- and christmas music was playing in my ear. i teared up and though- i can't imagine being anywhere else for Christmas... this is Christmas to me. tanner loves to be outside in the snow... he is just looking for a reason to go out again. it started snowing late last night and is still snowing(4:40 pm)As of right now, we have about 15 inches... tomorrow we are planning on building a snowman, and maybe do a little sled riding... until then...

maddex watching from the window- until they convinced me to let him go out.

i'm sick- so i couldn't go out...

i laugh so hard when i see this pictures of maddex- i had like 5 shirts, 3 pairs of pants, two hats.. he was so bundled up- he couldn't move his arms from this position.

throwing his first snowball

my dad secretly loves doing this kind of stuff.

tanner loves being outside... before he came inside- he said..

i'm gonna go lay in the snow- i'll be back.

maddex loves his snow boots grandma kathy got him.

Happy Holidays
