Christmas 2009

This Christmas was lots o fun. We went to Christmas Eve service and then had friends over and celebrated with food, white elephant game, celebrating Jesus' birthday and the kiddos opened gifts. Lots of Power Rangers, Transformers, Barbies and Princess'. Christmas morning we woke up pretty late and the kids opened their gifts and then we packed up and headed to Uncle David and Aunt Mary's for Christmas day. We spent the night at Grandma's house. We brought Grandma back with us for the week and had a lot of fun while she was here. Christmas was a wonderful and magical season this year. The kids really enjoyed hearing the story of Jesus' birth and are truly understanding the meaning of the season. We were very blessed and thus we were able to bless others this season that were in difficult places. God is good.

"Snow" much fun!

The first significant snowfall got the neighborhood kids out for a little snow fun. Shoveling, snowmen and snowball throwing were the top things to do this day. Little G caught on quick to the snowball throwing. Note in one picture, daddy is about to get pelted with a snowball down his neck. The kids liked it, but they liked the hot chocolate just as much.

All Bundled Up!

The temps are dropping around here, but the kiddos are ready for the season with their warm coats. Now coats have been a challenge to figure out back here for me. There are several types that one may need. Outside thick play coat, a ride in the car light coat for errands, dress up coat, and... well, there is a lot more but I won't bore with details. None the less, here are the kids. They are ready for the day. Big G is off to school and Little G is off to church.

Thanksgiving 2009

This holiday season was so much fun and pack with activity - I will have several posts to catch everyone up. Thanksgiving was at Aunt Mary and Uncle Luke's house and even though the gathering was small it was a lot to fun and relaxing. Here is a view of the day. Little G is wearing a dress that daddy bought for her in CA over a year ago and we have been waiting for her to grow into it - and here she is in all her glory. Big G couldn't wait to put on his new holiday PJ's from Grandma. He lives in these things. He's all about being warm and cozy - just like his mama. Here's to the first of several posts on the hol-i-daze.
