Happy Monday!

Yes, it has been a long time since I blogged...which means you are about to get some fairly old pictures...but they were too good not to share.

Firstly...the blizzard!! Well..the closest thing we'll have to a blizzard anyway...on our way back from Gatlinburg (which is at the END of this post..I'm chronologically challenged) it started snowing and snowing and SNOWING! We had never seen so much snow! But we made good use of Matt's day off:




A REAL snowman!! Complete with a carrot nose and charcoal eyes.

Snow dog Chassie...she had a marvelous time galloping around in the snow.

More snowman...this time with Mommy. Who, fortunately, was on hot chocolate duty and did not have to participate in the rolling of the snow.



And one more (seriously, I don't know when we'll ever get to show these kinds of pictures again!)

Pea...well-not so much into the snow. So she hung out in the wagon for as long as she could stand it. (with socks on her little hands. I was not prepared for this!)

Making snow angels.

Having their first snowball fight Big Green...going up the icy hill in front of our house with no trouble at all! Sadly this was one of our last adventures with the truck...Matt traded it in for a new car. We're gonna miss it!

Daddy and Pea.

Caitlin and Matthew...ready to play! (check out the amount of snow on the grill behind them)
Prior to the snow, we went to Gatlinburg to celebrate Matt's birthday-probably the most fun part was the aquarium (actually it was all fun. Unfortunately the aquarium was the only place I remembered to use my camera :)). We had been there a few years ago, but Caitlin and Matthew were too young to remember-


"In" the fishtank.

Being silly.


More silly

Matthew just LOVES taking pictures.

Here are a few random pictures that were on my camera-
