What Could be Better...

...than a 

hot cocoa drinking
snow fort building
sledding
shoveling
jammie wearing
book reading

kind of day?

We love a good snow storm.

It's Not Easy Being 1


Poor Cabub.
He just wants to keep up.
He found all the winter gear and brought it over to me.
After I geared him up, we walked over to the door all ready to walk out.

A Merry Christmas

 We had such a lovely Christmas.

 Each year, we get a new ornament for our tree.
The ornament has to have significance from the year.
For 2013, I made a Hahn Family missionary tag.
Last year, we painted missionary tags on our hearts.
For Christmas, our family got a small 2014 calendar.
Our goal is to fill each day up with some missionary effort.
So far, so good.


 Of coarse the food was delish.
And our friends who shared it with us even more delish.

This is the "best" picture we got of all the kids Christmas morning.
Sad.

Little Ladies

 7 little ladies moved into the backyard.
Getting them here was quite the ordeal.
Our neighbors down the street gave us their coop and chickens.
We enlisted the help of friends (maybe they won't call us friends anymore) to help us move the coop.
It was 12 degrees and icy on moving day.
The coop only weighs 87346012348761234987 lbs.
Sampson, the cocky rooster, got out.
Sampson was scared out of his mind as 10 guys were trying to chase him down.
Remember I told you it was icy?
Sampson eventually lost, but he sure put up a good fight.

 Since the ladies have taken residence in the backyard,
they have been on the trampoline,
sledding down the hill,
and had little humans crawling in and out of their coop.

Hens usually lay an egg/day.
If they get frightened, they won't lay.

We have collected 1 egg.
If they weren't so scared, we could have had 28 by now.

I can't believe this is my life?!?!?!?!?!
