Snow Daze 2011

We were all so excited Sunday night to see snow flakes falling. The kids had to get right out in it.

YEA!!! SNOW!!!

Later that night we actually had about an inch_ so the snowball fights began!

This is what we woke up to on Monday morning!!! Beautiful!!

We measured 7 inches at our house!!

They say it's the most snow we've seen in our area for the past 70 years.

Walker's ready for some "mad" sledding!!

AG's sweet snow angel

Walker thinks this is awesome!!!

Catching some air!! AG getting brave going down backwards ....

Even Dad tried out the sled

and Mom too!

Walker on a home made sled. Boy would it fly!!

Anna Grace & Belle - a friend from gymnastics.

The kids and I built snowmen the next day.

The snow was a little icy but we were able to get it to stick.

We absolutely loved the snow! We had so much fun together as a family over the 3 days we were out of school. Hopefully we made some memories that will last a lifetime!

Christmas Day at Nana & PopPop's House

After a morning full of presents, we arrived in Brandon to more presents! Of course, the kids were so excited! We enjoyed a wonderful dinner and some time to visit before the kids were begging for presents! After all the wrapping paper stopped falling, PopPop read the Christmas story and we sang "Happy Birthday" to Jesus.

Reid - surrounded by presents!

Lily

Gage likes the paper the best!

Happy Birthday Jesus!

Santa Came & God Sent Us a Gift Too!!!

We actually had to wake our family up on Christmas morning. We told them Santa had come and that God had sent them something too. Anna Grace immediately said, "Did God send us an angel?" When we said no, she guess that it had snowed. This is our 1st white Christmas. What a wonderful gift!!!

Anna Grace & Walker were so surprised by all the gifts Santa left for them.

Anna Grace asked for a tie-died bike. So glad Santa had one!

Walker's #1 request was drums.

Mom is so glad Santa brought drums with earphones to go with them!

Anna Grace's 1st cowbell! GO DAWGS!

Santa even brought Chip some goodies!

After checking out everything Santa had brought, we started opening gifts from each other. Walker and Anna Grace always pick out great gifts for each other.

So thankful for our 3 "kiddos!" Ready for some Lego Rock Band.

Test driving their new bikes in the snow!!
