Snow, snow and more snow..

The kids got out of school early because the forecast was calling for snow in the afternoon. I picked the kids up from the bus and we went to lunch with Jay. Afterwards we did a little shopping before heading home. Once we got close to home the snow was really coming down. We could hardly wait to pull in the driveway, get our coats on and head outside. Once outside the neighbors appeared and we had a great afternoon.






The next day there was even more snow.





The kids were out of school so we decided to go sledding. We had such a blast sledding. Unfortunately by the afternoon the sun had melted the snow and ice on the street and we couldn't sled anymore.

New Years

Unfortunately I don't have any pictures from our party but we had a great time. We welcomed the New Year with many friends.

I have chosen not to made resolutions this year that way I don't have to be disappointed when I don't achieve them. I am just going to enjoy the ride this year.

Christmas Break


We have really enjoyed our Christmas break. We have enjoyed sleeping late, staying up late, and playing. Of course the kids had a wonderful Christmas. Santa brough lots of really cool toys and we had a wonderful day together as a family. We spend Christmas Eve going to church. This was also the first year the kids bought and exchanged gifts with one another. Not only did they enjoy opening the presents they received from each other but they enjoyed giving them especially since the used there own money to purchase the gifts. I think this is a traditon we will continue.
Christmas Day we spent the day playing with out new toys and watching movies. We had lunch/dinner catered from Bar-B-Cutie and it was so good. Turkey, Dressing, Green Beans, Mashed Potatoes, Gravy, Pistachio Pudding, and Pecan Pie.
