February 2009 - Week 1

I know I say this every month, but really - February already?! We hit the McCall Winter Carnival this weekend. They sure could use a bit more snow, still fun though! I'm still convinced that this snowsuit I bought for Meredith 2 years ago is the warmest thing ever made. The kids are sweating when I take it off them.

The firetruck that cause Delaney to totally freak out. Poor baby!

Meredith has a good view, up high is the best spot for catching beads. If only she knew how girls usually get beads...

Hollering for more candy

Merediths new favorite thing to do is play parade. If you're lucky you get to be a "watcher" and she'll toss you some beads.

Karan gets a high five for her parade marching skills.

The McCall Ranger Station always has the best ice sculpture. This year it was Candy Land, which we happen to play 10 times a day at our house. Meredith was in heaven.

Back at the ranch, the DeFrancos joined us for dinner (or brought us dinner rather!). Ava, Sally and Meredith dined by the fire. Meredith in only undies of course.

Delaney observed from her Bumbo, sporting her muscle shirt.

Merdith scored these sweet shades at the parade.
