Eating her vegetables...





My little helper Aubrey...didn't want to waste any peas tonight so she finished them off by herself! Can't accuse her of not being a good eater! And the best part is, when she was done, she loaded the spoon and the bowl into the dishwasher and pressed the button to start it!

More Sledding Fun!

Throwing snowballs at the tree
Walking through the snow
Daddy and Aubrey...aren't they cute together?
Allie and Jayden coming back up the hill
Aubrey could stay out here all day if we'd let her!
Deep in thought or trying to taste a little leftover breakfast?
Going for a ride on Daddy's back!
Daddy and his girls
A little milk with our lunch....who would have thought a milk carton would be so much fun!
