White Christmas


What a wonderful Christmas we had with our family! It began snowing Christmas Eve morning, and didn't stop until this afternoon. I can't remember the last time we truly had a white Christmas. It was magical! This year brought new joy to the season as we watched Christmas unfold through the eyes of our children. And it brings back so many wonderful memories!

Paul and the kids got to make a snowman on Christmas! Charlie named it Frosty, and the kids LOVE him. They hug him. Charlie says we need to go to the store tomorrow to get carrots for his nose. (I also forgot to leave carrots out for Rudolph last night, and he was very distraught about that)

We started out our holiday celebrating with Grammy Carol and Papa Tom for brunch yesterday. They barely made it up the hill to our house with all the snow! Thankfully Papa had chains to put on his truck. The snow was so bad that we ended up running a "shuttle" from our house to the store so that nobody had to get stuck in our neighborhood. There must be at least a foot and a half on the ground!

Sadie enjoyed her first Christmas! Next year she'll be creating all kinds of chaos, no doubt.
Avery opened her presents with such concentration I thought she would burn a hole through them. She is very pleased with all her new dolly's and clothes! Dora was definately the theme this year...


Uncle Craig and Sadie... the girls love their uncle and enjoyed spending some qt with him today. I think Avery has a crush on him.
Grammy and Papa braved the snow and headed over this morning and spent the whole day at our house. We had so much fun spending the day with them.
