I am surprised our snow family lasted as long as it did. One last 60-degree day finally did them in.

Here is how it went down...

Happy Valentine's Day!

These are the cards that Aidan made for his friends at school. Aidan got a special box of chocolates from a friend at church this morning. He loved them as you can tell by the chocolate on his face.
He also showed how much he loves his sister by sharing one with her. I think she liked it too. And a couple of last snow pictures...

More Fun in the Snow

By this afternoon, the snow was just about melted away. All that is left are the snowmen in the yard. We got outside for one last play this morning. Goodbye snow, we will miss you.

Another Snow Day!!

Today has been the snowiest day ever in North Texas history. Just one more snow record we have set this year. The snow was wet and heavy so it was great for making snowballs & snowmen. It was fun to see all the families in our neighborhood out enjoying the wintry weather.

Not to be outdone by the other houses in our neighborhood, we had to build an entire family out of snow.

Darren's workout lifting the snowballs. He looks like he is doing the atlas stone lifting contest in the World's Strongest Man competition.

The Rest of January

OK, I am trying to catch up so here is everything else exciting that happened in January...

The family went to another Stars game. The kids are such good fans. Aidan is pointing out the players to Kiersten during warm-ups. Aidan's sign
Obviously there is something more exciting going on than looking at the camera.

Cutest fan ever in her leg warmers, excuse the drool Kiersten couldn't stop watching the game to eat. Kiersten had her first illness. She got to do breathing treatments for about a week. Thankfully, she didn't mind them and eventually found them so relaxing she could fall asleep.

Darren & Aidan had boys night at the Allen American's game We enjoyed cheering on the Vikings. We were sorry to see them lose but at least they had a good playoff run.

It has been so rainy lately, I have had to find plenty to keep Aidan busy. He really likes building models. This is a bulldozer.

Lastly, here is Aidan entertaining us with a puppet show using his hands and feet.

Water Babies

Kiersten went swimming for the first time this weekend. She looked so adorable in her swimsuit. She seemed to enjoy it. Aidan loves it too. Better to splash around in the pool instead of soaking the bathroom from swimming in the bathtub.
