Twas the season

Well, I'm finally getting my Christmas blog done. I didn't feel like I took a lot of pictures since the last time I blogged but I guess I was wrong! I took a lot! We had an awesome Christmas this year. It was our first one all alone and it was very quiet! It was nice because I didn't have any distractions from my kids and I was able to watch and enjoy every minute of it. Right before Christmas my sister and her family came to visit so it was nice to have some family around for a bit. Than right after Christmas we headed to a cabin with Chad's family. We are small in numbers these days but we still had so much fun.



Right before Christmas we got a MONSTER snow storm. I couldn't believe how much snow we got.

The plow put all of the snow right in front of our house so the kids had a fun hill right outside!



That little black thing is Mike. He was loving every second of that storm.

I took a quick drive around to see the snow and when I drove past the city park I noticed a tree laying on the ground. The snow was so heavy and we that it broke a tree down!

Mikey got a Motorcycle from Parker! It is his new favorite.

I wasn't too into taking pictures Christmas morning, so I only got a few.
