I figured it out!

Okay so I am technologically deficient but my friends are not and they taught me how to upload pictures onto my blog the new way. So we are back on the old blog and loving life. The website did not work well and for some reason, although some people migrated over there most people kept checking back to this blog - and by most people I mean 100 yesterday! So we are back!

Grammy brought back chocolate colvered rice crispy treats from Disney. I think they were originally for the airplane but since our trip home ended up being sort of chaotic she forgot. Lizzie decided to eat it like a princess in my bed! She could not have been happier!

There is nothing the littles love more than when we let them eat dinner picnic style in the living room. On this night we also got sleeping bags out and let them sleep in front of the fire camp out style! It was a fun night for the little people but Bob and I got very little sleep!

Peter loving on Lizzie when he woke her up one morning!

The girls were very excited to get lots of crafts to do from Santa. On the weekends while Ellie takes a nap (Because she is the smart one!) the girls do crafts. This day they were painting fairies! I love the look of concentration on their faces.

Annie loves to paint but what she loves more than anything is to glitter!!

Lizzie concentrating on her fairy!

Sometimes for Lizzie clothing is simply too much of a distraction from the task at hand and she must disrobe to really do a great job!

Daddy and Annie doing homework together.

We were in Disney for the big snow storm so the girls were thrilled to have a snow day and the chance to go out and play in the snow. I only wish that they had slept a little longer than 6:30am before wanting to go out - our neighbors must hate us!

Snow angels!

Annie is our snow eater - she loves fresh snow!

This little one could be outside for 3 hours and never feel cold or want to come inside. I usually have to play the hot chocolate and marshmallow card to get them inside.

Lizzie was assigned a job by Daddy - clean off the car some more - she did a great job!

Annie hanging out in the snow!

On this particular morning it was so nice out that I made a cup of coffee wrapped myself in blanket and sat on the porch watching them love the snow.

I love those cheeks red with the cold!

Lizzie loving the snow but very happy to come in and get some hot cocoa.

I adore this beautiful face!

Lizzie Bug is never this angelic so i felt I needed to take a picture! Miss attitude woke up after I took this picture and asked if I could be quieter when I take pictures! Love that little monkey!

So I think we are back at full steam on the blog! So happy becuase this blog is 100 times easier!

GNM - ILY!

Blogger is simply making it too difficult to upload pictures so I'm going to try this for a while.

The boys and their favorite basketball coach!

Bob and I loving our night out.

I was doing some crafts with the girls and just started clicking away at their beautiful faces.

Annie putting on a show for us!

The littles are ready to go to Grammy's for Thanksgiving dinner. How cute do they look?

Lizzie - Bug!

Our four girls - pretty in pink.

These are pictures left over from Thanksgiving but today as I look at them all I can think of is the tragedy that took place in Newtown, Connecticut on friday. The only thing mommy wanted to do all day was to get home and hug my babies. A mentally ill young man went into a school in Newtown and opened fire on classrooms full of children. 20 Children and six adults were killed including teachers who risked their own lives to save the kids in their classrooms. It was a horrific crime that has broken the hearts of so many people. It makes me appreciate our family and the moments we have together - they are so precious and I need to make sure I am appreciating every single one of them.
