Birthday Tomorrow

The twin's birthday is tomorrow! It is hard to believe that they will be four years old.

Savannah was "camping", she packed everything in her backpack. Isaac was camping too, but I guess all he needs is Thomas the Train.

Happy V'day Y'all!

The twins love to look at the giant cookie cakes when we go to the mall, so when they went down for their nap this afternoon - I made a giant sugar cookie and strawberry icing! (and of course one for Joe,too!)  They should be awake any minute, I am so excited for them to wake up! Also, I am turning into a big baby. I teared up at a funny, sweet little rhyme that Joe wrote in a Valentine's card for me. He's the best!

Out For a Drive

 I snapped some pictures while we were out for a drive the other day. Most are taken from the comfort of the car, through the window. :) We are getting a lot of snow this year!

The Question

"Mama, lets talk about, where do babies come from?"  This is a topic that Savannah has been very interested in lately, to my surprise. When I first heard her ask this question, I thought, where did this come from? I'm not ready for these questions! But I realized that she wasn't talking about the "birds the bees", she is just naturally curious about this strange phenomenon. I mean, hey, it is pretty amazing how a baby can be inside a women's tummy and then just appear one day!   So I talked to her and Isaac about how God puts the baby in a safe place inside the woman called a "womb", and then one day when they are big enough to live on the "outside", he brings them out. I also talked to them about when they were born, and what a special day that was.

Then one evening Isaac was talking to his Daddy about how he was born. I don't think I had mentioned that we had been talking about "where babies come from", but Daddy decided to clear up this mystery for Isaac. Joe said  "Yep, we found you outside, in a tomato can. I said, 'Mama, do you think we should take this little possum home with us?' She didn't really want to, but I talked her into it. We already had Savannah, so I thought we could take care of you too. We brought you home and have been taking care of you ever since. You're one of the family now, just my own little possum."  Isaac grinned and seemed okay with that idea. I interjected "Isaac, you know how you were born! Tell Daddy where you came from!"  He just grinned really big and said "I came from a tomato can!!"

Sharing a Couple of "old" Pictures

 Isaac is blowing me a kiss. This is one of his first times on a "big kid" swing. :)

Savannah has always had a camaraderie with animals!

It is February, Isaac and Savannah's Birthday month! I love looking at cake ideas and making plans. My "Sweet Babies" are turning 4!

Snow Day

 We had a big winter storm Sunday night, very unusual in our neck of the woods! We had so much fun!

 Making snow balls! She was throwing them at everyone! :)

 He went from making a snow angel, to snow swimming.

 More snowballs!

 Snowball making.

 Joe helped with the snowman! I was so glad he could play in the snow with us! It is kinda yucky looking, with some mud and stuff mixed in. But hey, we live in the south!

 I had to put in some pictures of Lizzie, my niece that we kept this weekend! She is such a sweet, beautiful baby.

 Isaac is so sweet to her. Yes, his shirt is inside out. : p

This is a funny one. :)  I wish I had taken some pictures with Savannah, she just dotes on Lizzie! She helped me out so much, and is so sweet! I will try to get some more next time!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful week! Happy Winter!

A Jumble of Christmas Pictures

 Isaac and Savannah helped decorate this gingerbread house a few days before Christmas. The candy did not last long!

 This is on Christmas morning. It actually snowed in Mississippi on Christmas morning!!! We had a white Christmas, which almost never happens. The first that I remember. Savannah and Isaac wanted to run out immediately, but you can tell by their faces it was too cold. :)

 This is just the beginning of the snow! On Christmas Eve, Savannah told me that we couldn't open presents on Christmas morning until it snowed. She was absolutely sure that it was going to snow. I told her we might have to wait a while, because it didn't usually snow on Christmas where we live.

 But it did snow, and they were SO EXCITED.  They put on their new raincoats and wanted to go back out!

 After we opened presents and had a big breakfast, we went to Mamaw and Papaw's house. We opened presents at their house too, but there was a lot going on, and I didn't get pictures! Isaac and Savannah are set for life in the toy department. Or at least until next year! We are very blessed, with wonderful family and friends most of all!
 Isaac wore his pj's all day. If I had a pair as cozy as those, I might have worn them all day too!

 My sweet Papaw and Mamaw.  I love them both so much!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!

Happy New Year!
