The first day of snow




This was the first day of snow!

Can you believe it?!




T- 2 in his Nike gear.


If they were the same age
 they'd be twins!


T2 has model potential !

Or maybe he's just a ham =)



Friends forever!


Snowflakes are falling!

 Really they are...


Actually, just a few flurries.


Precious moments

Sweet sisters...
a.k.a...
Cuties on duty!

Our last photos with color before the
background turns into white
crystals with pine trees and sparkling lights!


See you later!

Auntie Tiffani's Birthday



We had a great time celebrating
with Auntie Tiffani!
She shares the same birthday with
Auntie Dawn and Aunt Myra.


We got together to wish her
a happy birthday!

We had her favorite...

 Nachos!
We always try to make one of my grandmother's
specialties...
A Four Layer Cake!
This skill has been handed down
from generation ....
to generation.
And now
it's my(Brit's) turn to learn the family's secret
recipe...

Shhh!... don't tell a soul...
and we'll let you
in on the key ingredient.


It all begins...


 with...


 a box cake mix!
 =)
Haha!
What can I say?
My grandmother was a smart woman!


There was a slight blooper with the
icing made from scratch.
A tad bit lumpy...
Auntie RaShawn had to step in and save us
from a birthday disaster!
See that little can of milk back there?
Yep, the missing ingredient!


Everyone enjoys Josiah.
He's becoming more alert and active!
So much fun to have a baby in the family!

There's the birthday girl!

Grandmommy also passed down her
great SMILES!!!

Lovin' that juicy baby!


And here it is!
Wait 'til you see the best part...


Soft, moist layers of cake...
 each dripping with
warm chocolaty icing!
So moist it's falling apart!


An attempt to dodge the camera!
Now using the innocent baby!


He loves the flying game!

Wearing her birthday hat!
Smiling with Brit...

...With her hubby!

Trying to get a pose together...
one moment please....

Now that's it... 

Three sisters in opposite order.


And my Grandmother's sister joined us!
Hi Aunt Jean!

Aw....so cute!
Brothers posing.

See you next time Josiah!

Hayride



We enjoyed a hayride as a church fellowship.
Lots of laughter, delicious apple cider,
 and a belly full
of sticky roasted marshmallows!

 Oh, and donuts too!


Leave no marshmallow behind!
Mmmm.....mmmmm.....
the smell of wood burning!
Deeelightful!
Now that's a fire!


Preparing the wagon with loads of hay
for itchy scratchy fun later.

It was a pretty chilly night,
but you wouldn't have known it
around the blazing heat.

Nothing like sitting around a warm fire
under the star-lit sky.
A few actually saw a shooting star!

Here's an excited group of wagon riders...


Hold on for dear life!

Here's a fellow photographer...
Hi Jo!

And there's Tab!
She did quite a bit to help organize this activity
and make sure everyone had a great time.
Thanks Tab!




There's got to be a little hay action
before the end of the night!

 
Goooood night everybody!!!
