Nana got the kids a swing set for up at the cabin. They swung for hours until their hands were frozen solid before they finally stopped.
The snow was perfect for building snow men. We had so much fun! This is the first time we went to the cabin just our little family, it was so relaxing. We played games, read books, and just spent quality time together detoxing from our day to day crazy lives.
We have recently joined a home school group and once a month we get together to let the kids play for the afternoon. The house we meet at is a mini farm. It is more difficult than pulling teeth to get Peyton to leave. She loves the critters so much. 
Peyton and Logan in the chicken coop.
Logan has not warmed up yet to holding the chickens but enjoys them from a safe distance.
Peyton is now asking if we can have critters just like her friends. We are now thinking about getting some chickens. The things Larry puts up with. I don't know if he would have married me if he knew what he was getting into.
The kids got a special Valentines book and some chocolate... they were in Heaven.
We got together with some of our friends at the park and decorated the largest heart cookies you have ever seen. The kids loaded them with so much sprinkles and candy that they were buzzing on a sugar high for hours!
Logan was terrified of the blower and the lawn mower until Larry offered for him to help... now Larry can't get Logan to stop helping.
We started 2009 with a rolling start! The kids got new bikes on New Years Day and they spent all day riding them. They look so cute on those little things, especially Logan who is only 2 and is riding like a pro!
