Packer by day, Steeler by night!

Well, we have a house divided for the next two weeks. David has been a life-long Green Bay Packers fan since his family (when he was younger) and his parents lived in Wisconsin among other places up North. Samantha hails from Western Pennsylvania so naturally she roots for the Pittsburgh Steelers like her extended family who live in and around Pittsburgh. So yesterday was a fun day in our household.

During the day, we were Packers fans.

Aunt Bridget made these cute shirts for the girls and mailed them to us a few days ago. 

Go Pack Go!

In the evening, we were Steelers fans.

After their baths, the girls wore their Pittsburgh Steelers pajamas Nonna and G-Pa bought them a few months ago.

Here we go Steelers here we go!

Gabriella was into both games and has favorite players on both teams. She loves football (does she have a choice, really?). This morning at breakfast we asked Gabby who she will cheer for when the Packers and Steelers play each other in a few weeks. She replied, "The Steelers!" She made her mother proud! But, we'll see if her loyalties change (or her father brain washes her) before the Super Bowl.

SNOW DAYS!

We have received several inches of snow the last few days. We've been house-bound yet we're having fun! This is a picture of us this morning getting all comfy before Daddy left for work. Gabriella didn't go to preschool today so it was officially a SNOW DAY!

Yesterday was a little warmer so we ventured in our backyard to play in the snow for a little bit. We each wore three layers!

All bundled up! This is before Adriana started to cry. She didn't like the feeling of being stuffed in a coat. She cried and whined pretty much the entire 25-30 minutes we were outside. She was in Mommy's arms most of the time, too!

This picture illustrates it perfectly. Gabby loved everything about the experience! She ran around the yard, made snow angels and ate snow. Adriana wasn't a fan at all!

Still crying.

Snow Angel!

We had yummy hot chocolate with marshmallows when we got inside the house.

Adriana was just happy to be in one outfit and out of the cold. 

Celebrating Christmas on New Years Day

Happy New Year! We celebrated Christmas with the Hardys on New Years Day. The girls had fun yet again opening gifts from family. Unfortunately, Aunt Bridget came down with a stomach bug so she couldn't make it. She came over late Sunday afternoon but we forgot to take photos so Aunt Bridget appears M.I.A. this year.

Surrounded by presents!

Gabby got lace and trace cards from Nana.

Daddy got a stylish hat from Grandpa.

Adriana thought the pushing duck from Nana was pretty cool.

Playing with their new gifts.

Grandpa got the girls four room sets for their new doll house. They are super excited!

Opening up matching dresses from Nana.

We had a special time celebrating Christmas with the Hardys.

We wish everyone a healthy and happy 2011!
