My Sisters Come to Town

The Sullivan sisters were in full force in NH this past February.  I warned them that it was quite cold up here and that we had about 3 feet of snow on the ground.  Sportos just weren't going to cut it. We went sledding, made pizza, played Just Dance....the kids had fun too.
Due to all the snow we recieved this winter, we have a monster sledding trail on the side of our house.  When the family visited it was quite slick.  I give my big sisters credit for  braving the trail on a thin saucer of plastic called a sled.

The kids had a great time just spending time together.  It is so gratifying to see them all get along so nicely and really enjoy eachother.

 I have no words to describe Abby...no words.

Abby's First Haircut

I don't know a lot of 3 year olds that have their own stylist and refers to her as "my Brooke."  I finally took Abby to get her first haircut.  She did great and she was treated like a princess.

Just Dance!!

Emily's friend, Aly, brought over her new Wii game, Just Dance For Kids.  I have never laughed so hard watching them copy the dance moves on the screen.  Abby on the other hand was just grooving to her own thing and remarkably scoring points.

The Driscolls Come to Town

Last weekend Dave, Keelie and Delaney came for a long weekend.  We went to Meredith to see some pond hockey, did some sledding, had a fire pit in the middle of a snow storm and the boys had time to fit in some skiing.  Oh, and we watched to Super Bowl on Sunday.  All in all, one of the best weekends this year!

 There is something to be said about standing on the middle of a frozen lake. 

Really cool and kinda scary at the same time

 This one is for you Sean, they had Whale colors

 Had to get a picture of this team's uniforms.  Too funny!

Nothing says NH like some Carhart gear and drinking PBR out of cans. 

 Guess we are officially Granit Staters!

Thanks guys for a great weekend.  Can't wait to do it again!



First Night in Big Girl Bed!

We finally got around to painting Abby's room and put together her twin bed, which is actually the bed that I grew up with.  She has done a great job with the transition.  She is very excited that she can now bring more things to bed with her now.

One of many snowstorms in 2011

While Todd was traveling in early January, we got hit with over 15 inches of snow.  Thank goodness he bought me a snow blower before he left.

 Look Ma, no hands!

Where's Abby??

This picture reminds me a scene in E.T when E.T. hides in the pile of stuffed animals.  Time for a bigger bed??
