Cousin Claire Sleeps Over

Kieran's been asking for a sleep-over with Claire for a while now, tonight's the first time he's had anyone sleep over at our house (Kieran slept over at Claire's once this summer).  We were going to pick her up at 4:30, so starting at about 2:00, Kieran began to ask what time it was about every three minutes.  Time wasn't moving fast enough towards 4:30 for him I guess.
The evening screening of 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas' with popcorn went well.  Kieran and Luke didn't immediately understand why Claire would prefer something other than firetrucks, race cars, Bob the Builder, etc., but they settled on the Grinch.  I didn't include a picture of them getting there pajamas on, because it was a little awkward watching Luke helping Claire undress....anyway...we'll see how the evening continues, I hope they sleep.......Luke that includes you to........

Our first snowfall

Anywhere from 7-10 inches, the favorite around the house right now is 'can we go outside?'  Kieran woke up on Saturday, looked outside and saw that it was snowing and immediately thought it was a good idea to wake me up to inquire about going outside.  Luke is really enjoying it outside, last year it didn't work out too well for him (the snow was too deep for his little legs), being a little taller he can move about more now.
Didn't have the camera for what would have been the best picture -- Kieran laying face down in the snow after falling out of the slide.  He thought it was as funny as could be.....
