Birthday continued & Grandparent's visit

As you can see, Will was not in the mood to pose here, but we wanted to get him with the plate he painted for his grandparent's gift.

I think this a great picture of Aubrey with her Grandma Pam & Grandpa Isaac -- this was at her birthday lunch.

Me & Aubrey at lunch. This was the only time we got out of the house on her birthday due to the 2 feet of snow the day before!

The whole gang...

Rob & Isaac shoveling all the snow off the driveway, this was a big job! We had plenty of apple cider and hot chocolate on this day, as well as a fire burning in the fire place. It was the ideal snow day all around.

We had a little Christmas with Robert's family while they were in town -- Aubrey's hugging a stuffed animal from her stocking.

Will was very excited about the rubber ducks in his stocking -- Will is a huge fan of playtime in the bathtub lately.

Aubrey is proudly showing off the plate she painted at the ceramic studio. We were thankful to have all of our families come up to see us in November and December this year. It was our first time to spend Christmas in VA, so we were so glad we got to spend some time with everyone before the holidays. We had a nice, relaxing Christmas here and enjoyed being in our own house, but of course missed being home. Maybe by next Christmas we'll be back in Texas for good?
