Gift from Roxanne!

Sam has a cousin (Roxanne) that is traveling right now. The other day we got a package from Vietnam and Roxanne had sent Drew this little suit for Drew. We think it is the cutest little thing! Thanks Roxanne!

Christmas 2009

Christmas this year at the Blackard house was WONDERFUL!!!! We had family that stayed with us for several days, snow and three young boys with tons of energy. The boys woke up and wanted to start in on the presents, however my sister and two nieces got stuck in the snow on the the way to our house so we had to hold the boys off until they got there.

Here they are coming around the corner and seeing all the presents.

Mandy is trying to hold them off!

Waiting patiently!

Christmas morning in our backyard. Beautiful!

Next year we have to put my mom in the front!

Playing in the snow!

We took the boys out to play in the snow a few days after Christmas. The funny thing is that they really didn't want to play with the snow. They wanted wagon rides, play with dump trucks, lawn mowers and golf clubs. I think these boys are ready for summer! They had a great time and went inside for hot chocolate to warm them up!

Here I am trying to show the boys how to make snow angels! I needed some help getting up!
