Winter and Cabin Fever

We have had a foot of snow outside since the day before Maddox's birthday! Now, all our activities require being in our house! Things we do to keep busy and active...

wrestle with Dad,

 decorate our Christmas tree,

 admire the ornaments,

 admire the kids' decorating skills,

 sleep,

 get our children to clean for us,

 wrap up Travis in a millions blankets

and watch our baby try to break free of them,

 play nicely together,

 go to joyschool,

 go to preschool and perform in the Christmas program as a shiny car,

 separate our kids into their own rooms and have a shirtless sword fight,

 teaming up against Dad,

 sledding down the street,

 try to shovel his neighbors driveway,

 more sledding,

 making big messes at Cabela's,

 going on dates to Color Me Mine

 wearing Dad's old lieutenant rank hat,

 picnics on the floor,

 everyone getting sick except for Mom (this picture was actually from Veteran's Day when Travis threw up all over both of us 5 minutes after I took this picture at Applebee's),

 dreaming of Summer when it is actually 10 degrees outside,

 Time Out For Women with my mom and sisters and having everyone stay at our house,

 shopping with the girls,

and practicing bicycle riding, dreaming of Spring! Only a few more months of freezing temperatures! Oh joy!
