Well I don't know if you would say it was a white Christmas, but it did snow on Christmas Day. Around 1:00 in the afternoon, I looked out the window and noticed large flakes coming down. We got all excited and ran out and took pics (sorry not uploaded yet). I don't know if you can even see the snow falling, but it did fall for an hour or so. Hannah, Justin and their cousin Caden got bundled and ran outside and caught snowflakes on their tongues. When they came in, they were soaking wet because the snow was so wet. It was brief, but hey, it was snow. I hope that we do get some accumulation at some point for the kids to play in. We have a good little hill to sled down in the school yard behind us.
We had a wonderful Christmas here. We started out fairly leisurely, not getting up until 8:00 A.M. The kids quickly went through their presents. Santa was very successful as usual. Hannah's favorite gift was her guitar--a real kids size acoustic guitar. It is electric blue with flame like swirls on it. Now she can be a real rockstar. Justin's favorite gift was a 5 in 1 Spiderman web shooter. It shoots that nasty silly string like web fluid that numerous friends have told us is just not worth it, but he hasn't even used that yet because the one he got also shoots a suction dart, little missiles, plastic webs and water. Even without the nasty fluid, he has a great time with it. They also got a rock polisher, which they must've forgotten about (it's hiding behind a chair) because they haven't bugged us nonstop to do it. They are both rock hounds. And they got a plug and play video game (a joystick that just plugs into the tv) and plays Pac Man and other vintage arcade games (yes, sadly the 80's are vintage now) It was so funny to hear that all so familiar pac man wawka wawka wawka sound. My brother, Ryan, had a ball playing it Christmas morning. Owen wasn't too sure what all was going on but did get a Little Poople garage (he likes to watch the cars go down the spiral ramp) and a little pop up tent that he instantly ran right into. It's his own little spot. He also had great fun body surfing on all the wrapping paper.
After our Christmas mayhem, we had the whole family over for brunch at our house and more presents. We of course ate tons of good food and a nice leisurely afternoon. Then later that day we went to Grandpa Mike and Grandma Carol's for dinner and yet more presents. It was a very full but a very fun day. Can't believe it's all over for yet another year. I will post pics soon.
