Really Long Christmas Post!

Sorry this post is so long but I haven't had much computer time but I can't use that excuse any more...Nate got me a laptop for Christmas! It was way out of the budget we agreed on but he said it is for my B-day, anniversary and any other holiday that is coming up! I am excited and trying to break it in! (I am kind of computer illiterate so it may take a while!)

So Christmas really started on December 17th! The day it snowed at our house in Henderson! Here are a lot of pictures (I know not exciting for you all who live where it snows but very exciting for us who endured 115 degree heat all summer).


Not too bad a little accumulation!


Even better, we could make a few good snowballs with this stuff!



Holy sweetness! I feel like we are back in Montana now!

This is Matthew's lawn mower, he was pretty upset that it had snow all over it! He cleaned it off multiple times!

Our house!


Sledding at our park and in front of our house. All of the neighbors were out and we had a great time just pulling each other up and down the street.
It was a great day! I couldn't help but smile all day. We put on Christmas music and made Christmas cookies. It was wonderful! Call me crazy but I miss the snow!


Brayden is our cookie dough tester. I go through about 5-6 spatulas for just one batch because every time I turn around Brayden has a spatula in his mouth, one time it only had butter on it. Yuck! Although he thought it was great!




Santa came to our house and both Matthew and Brayden were on his list. Matthew was excited but Brayden was a little scared. The missionaries came too and gave us a little spiritual message too.



These are from Christmas morning. Matthew got a train which he has been attached to ever since. We went over to my cousin's house for Christmas dinner and after about 2 hours or so Matthew came up to Nate and told him that we needed to go home because he missed his train and his train missed him too. Brayden loves his dump truck and drives it all over the house!
Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!

Glad you had a Merry Christmas! Love the pictures of the snow... I was glad we were in ILLINOIS so we could see snow too. I miss the snow when I'm in TN so I don't think you are too crazy! :)

What lucky boys to have Santa come visit there house! Monkey would have been so jealous. And you must have been a good girl too, to get that much snow. I'm glad you had a Merry Christmas. How was your anniversary?
