A VERY WHITE Christmas!

Wow..... we had a VERY WHITE Christmas!! This most certainly is a Christmas we will remember forever!!
One of my NEW YEARS resolutions is to blog more. I cannot even begin to post everything we have done over the last month! Next year I am going to post after each event and then I might be able to catch up!!! Anyways, I decided to share a few highlights of the days surrounding Christmas! (basically our family celebrations!) Thankfully my dad has a BIG 4wheel drive truck so he could drive us around in the blizzard!!! We ended up staying the night with my parents on Christmas eve so we would not have to get out again in the snow storm. Even though that was not "my plan" it ended up working out great!! I had to realize that traditions do not really matter as long as we are celebrating the birth of our SAVIOR!!!

This was at church the Sunday before Christmas.

Getting ready to go to Grandmas!! (we had Christmas with Kyle's family on the 23rd) We had so much fun. The kids love to play with their cousins!!!






OH DEAR......I see cheer leading in my future!!!



These three were born the same year. Hunter, Ella & Jonah!


Our Christmas eve service was cancelled so we just went to my sisters house on Christmas eve! This was after we made it there safely! It was unreal how many cars were stuck!



Emery LOVES Papi so much!!!

Alli and my cousin Macey!

This is my dad with his "grand puppies"! (my sisters dogs) Yes, these huge dogs are STILL puppies!


Cookies for Santa and food for the reindeer!


Getting ready to read the Christmas Story!



I can't remember the last time we got to play in snow on CHRISTMAS!!!
