Well, to be truthful, Heather built it. Alana kept her hands in her pockets and I documented. Alana was so excited to build a snowman that she refused to take a nap but right when it came to build it, her hands got too cold. Oh well. We had a blast anyways!
The big reveal…
Alana loves her new snowman.
Sadly, it’s 40 degrees today so the our little snowman had a shorter life than most butterflies. If you went to the Tennessee Aquarium more often, you’d know how long that is.
It snowed a bit last week at our place. According to the news, it was going to be the blizzard of the decade but as always, just a dusting. But as people who don’t get to see much snow we rushed out to photograph! Alana loves the snow and just wants to run around in it. Love, love, love her energy.
So to tell the world how much I love my girls, I wanted to show you some pics of them! I really have the best family in the world! Two of the sweetest girls you’ll ever meet.
How cute is she!?
They were sporting scarves that are HANDMADE as Christmas gifts by their good friend Kellie Dykast. Check out the quality! Both Heather and Alana love them!

Heather documented our trip very well with words and pics on our personal blog but I just wanted to throw out some of my favorite images from our trip up on my blog before they become irrelevant from how much time has passed! So, check ‘em out and put a comment on the bottom if you like!
The Mauna Kea Resort on the big island of Hawaii. Amazingly beautiful there.
We went to the top of Mauna Kea mountain. It’s a climb of around 13,700 feet. Above the clouds…
Best site in the world to star gaze.
The sunset up there was incredible.
We did not bring warm clothes to Hawaii. Who would, ya know? So we got a blanket from our resort room and Heather bundled up in it. With the strong wind blowing, it felt in the teens. Very cold to be in short sleeves and flops!
This is the sight we saw going back down the mountain. Incredible.
Here’s a pic of the resort.
We then went to a black sand beach on the top of the island. We didn’t go all the way down because it was a pretty good hike to get down there. But here are some pics of the scenery.
Can’t wait to go back.
