1st Snowman


Adriana and Alexis had a blast in the snow.

Adriana started out by throwing snowballs,
at the window that Lori was trying
to take pictures out of.

The girls build their 1st snowman of the year.

They really worked together on their masterpiece.

Just Playing

Lori tried to take some pictures of the girls,
after their hair was curled nice.

They cooperated...

no really...

seriously...

The girls at their best.

Adriana calmed down, but still had the giggles.

Alexis calmed down and smiled.
