First Gifts of Christmas!!!!

A LOT Of SNOW!!!!

Grace could not wait to get outside. We were concerned with her just getting over her ear infections and Saturday's blizzard conditions, but Sunday brought out some fun in the sun. She wandered through the snowy drifts and even picked up a shovel!

This was AFTER the first round of shoveling and still AM on Saturday!!!

There were at least two more rounds of shoveling to come!


Sunday morning it was beautiful, until it was time to shovel....AGAIN!

The best mode of transportation!!!

December 19 and 20, 2009 has made its way into the record books around here. I think we had an official total of 15-20 inches... according to the neighborhood measuring tape. We made a great weekend out of holiday parties being cancelled by inviting over the neighbors and just enjoying some old fashioned fun around the kitchen table and Saturday night football... of course!!!

We hope everyone is safe and ready to enjoy a great week leading up to Christmas!!!

First Snow

Beach toys came in very handy during the snow!!!

It was very wet snow, so playing in the yard was nearly impossible.

But, jumping into daddy's arms is always possible.

Hot chocolate for everyone!!!
