Well, we almost had a white Christmas this year! Just two days after Christmas, we got our first snowfall of the season! It wasn't much, about two inches, but we were still thrilled. It did continue to snow for the next couple of days, but none of it really stuck. We were hoping to get more with this storm that just came through, but, so far, nothing.
Speaking of Christmas...
We had another fun one! Here's a layout I did of the highlights:
The kids are at such a fun age at Christmas time. On Christmas Eve, they were tracking Santa on NORAD. When Riley announced that Santa was in Texas, I told him he better hurry and get to sleep before he got to our house. We left cookies and egg nog for Santa before the kids went to bed.
At about 3:00am, Riley comes running into our bedroom to announce that Santa had brought him a train. It was hard to get mad at him because it was so darn cute. Ok, it would have been cuter around 7:00 or 8:00, but it was still cute.
Raegan was thrilled to receive a Nintendo DS from Santa, as well as 3 games to start her out. Her favorite, by far, is the Nintendogs game. She has already "adopted" three labradors that she is currently caring for. It's so cute!
Drake once again got overly excited about his present and quickly got to work destroying it. I was picking up slobbery stuffing and squeakers for about three days.
Casey got me this cool docking station for my MP3 player. The sound is great too! I love it:
We got Casey some biking pants, which he said are very comfy, and I also stuffed his stocking full of goodies.
We had a yummy dinner of ham, twice baked potatoes, homemade breads, salads, and lots of sweets and goodies.
The only bad part about the day was that Casey had to work once again! However, he was able to get off a few hours early, so it wasn't a total loss. We're so used to him working on Christmas, it would be weird to have him here all day (weird, but nice).
So, now that Christmas is over and the new year has arrived and I only have one more day before school is back in session, there's only one more thing to do...
TAKE DOWN THE DAMN DECORATIONS!!!
