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!

Baby James

Mckenna and Casey

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

Christmas eve Jammies!!

Santa came!

He ate his cookies and Rudolph ate his carrot

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

Onto the cabin! It wouldn't be the full experience without some tens&2's with Grandpa and Kaye.

That picture titled "Santa Came" looks like it should be in a magazine or a coffee table book...beautiful. What a magical morning to wake up to. I love the pics at the cabin too. So sad not to be there though. You look great! I hope all is going well with #3 so far. Talk to ya soon.

I'm glad someone took pictures at the cabin. I love the one of Mikey eating snow.

I love all the picuters. I'm with Traci, the one of your tree and all the gifts looks so neat. It looks like you guys had a great time at the cabin. Wish we could have been there too.

K your house picture with the snow on it should be put in black and white and blown up! I love it! And your house looks so charming in the snow. (sorry that was a sherry comment but its true) Your camera is really nice. All your pictures are so cute. Looks nice and cozy and fun! :)
