The Snowstorm Part II

I know I am behind but I do have good reason to be. I was without my computer for a week (again) and with this recent snowstorm we have been shoveling fools around here. So while I don't have pictures from this snowstorm downloaded and organized yet I do have the rest of the photos from the one in December. I know, I know...there have been three other snowstorms since then but what can I say. I am ridiculously behind. Anyway, we had seen Santa the night before on the fire truck and now it was time to play in all the snow that had fallen since then. This was Layla's first time out in the snow and lets just say it didn't go well. When we started getting ready to go outside she knew something was up.

When we finally got outside things did not get better.

She didn't know what to think. Poor baby.

Anna was having fun...

but Layla was not.

Jourdan was having fun...

but Layla was not.

The snow came up to Jourdan's knees so he was having a little trouble walking in it.

Soon enough a snowball fight began...

but I had taken Layla in for a nap so I was nice and warm inside. The next day we went to my mom's house to see what the snow looked like there. Turns out it was the same. :) Otis enjoyed playing out in the snow.

Eaan helped my mom out by snow blowing the driveway.

Jourdan kicked some snow.

And then got a picture with Tommy. We miss you Tommy!

Then he got his foot stuck. Oops.

That's one long driveway. I am glad Eaan is doing it.

Then Anna, Jourdan and I tried sledding.

I knew this wouldn't turn out good. Jourdan didn't want to go again.

So we kept walking. Jourdan climbed up a mountain of snow and showed me his snow covered gloves.

Then he wanted to show off his muscles.

Our day ended with a snowball fight.

I won. Ha!
I am working on getting the pictures from the past couple days. There are a lot of them. A lot of craziness occurred. I can't wait to post about it.

Peaceful

I love snow...for the first day, then I'm over it.

The Snowstorm

In December we had a pretty big snowstorm here in Maryland. Usually we don't get snow until late January and we don't always get a lot of snow. So for us this was a big deal! The night started out normal. We knew a snowstorm was coming so we had Anna spend the night. She wanted to get snowed in with us. We were playing around waiting for the snow to start when we heard sirens outside. We all ran out in our PJ's to see what was happening. Santa had come on a fire truck! The kids were so excited! As we waited outside for Santa it started to snow. Perfect timing!

Santa and Mrs. Clause

Layla wasn't too sure about all of this. She didn't know what was going on. This was also the first time she had seen snow. Turns out...she hates it. :)

My crazy monkeys, runny noses and all.

Jourdan loved the snow. He was having so much fun. And the snow had only just begun.

Christmas at the Wessel's

I am finally blogging again. Christmas time was crazy busy and we drove my little brother up to college in Boston. We are finally getting back into a schedule and getting cleaned up after the holidays. So now I can get caught up on posting blogs. Right before our big snowstorm in December we went to a friend's house for a Christmas party. Santa even made an appearance!

Her hair is finally long enough for pigtails!

Up next...the snowstorm!

Christmas Tree Lights

Jourdan's idea of putting lights on the Christmas tree. All in the same spot!

Berklee College of Music

My younger brother Tommy just started his first semester at Berklee in Boston. Jourdan and Layla miss their Uncle Tommy a lot. Today we had a little photo shoot so we could send him some pictures. Layla wasn't listening very much but I still got some cute pictures.

The kids are so sad Tommy is gone!

Awww, they love each other!

Layla saying cheese!

Layla doesn't look to thrilled about this one.

Tommy we miss you and we are so proud of you! Hope you are having fun at school!

Family Pictures

Last month we took some family pictures for Christmas. We also wanted to get some of everyone before Tommy went away to college and Anna became to cool to be seen with us. Even in photos. These pictures are the outcome.

We even took some jersey photos. Too bad both of our teams are out of the playoffs.

We even got a good family picture.

And here some the bloopers...

Chris needed a little help getting up.

We have two other pictures like this. One from before Anna was born and one from when Anna was about 2. If I find them I will put them up sometime. I think this is the last time Chris will be able to do this. I think we are getting too heavy for him.
