Winter 2011

It has been a snowy winter here on the east coast - we certainly have had our fair share of blizzards and cold weather. This feels like the first year that both Rachel and Carson are old enough to get out and play in the snow without being overwhelmed by it (its only up to their knees instead of their thighs). We found a great sledding place nearby which the kids just love.

In January we attended the annual Princess & Pirates Brunch at the navy base nearby. This is the second year we have been and Rachel was just as excited to see all the princesses. She was even more brave this year and wanted to have her picture taken with each princess. Carson hardly remembers last year, but this year he was very excited to dress like a pirate and to see all the pirates at the brunch. He even got to 'shake hooks' with Captain Hook!
