White Christmas 2010

We had a great Christmas. Lots of parties. We received some lovely gifts and had the chance to relax and be together. We have had a crazy year and needed some time out, especially Rick who has had a lot going on. Last Christmas we got a dusting of snow and we were thrilled about it. This year we got an even bigger treat when we got about 2 inches of snow on Christmas Eve! It was not a ton but it was enough to go sledding and make the world a winter wonderland. This was what our yard looked like Christmas Eve.


The kids had to wait a while for us to get out of bed Christmas morning as Simon and Rachel had a restless night and we were up late finishing the wrapping etc. As you can see they were anxious to open presents.


Ammon with his Pokemon Wii game. They combined his two loves!


Ricky with his Sonic Wii game and controller. He had a great day playing video games with Ammon and Bridgette


Bridgette on her skateboard?? This was the one request I was confused by, she wanted a skateboard so Santa granted her request. We shall see how this turns out.


Simon with his Thomas the tank engine set, he loves it and will not be separated from his trains now.


Rachel with her little activity centre. She was busy getting into everyone elses toys on Christmas day.


I made homemade eggnog and Rick was trying to polish it off. This is a joke by the way, he just wanted to illustrate how good it was. I made it for a party we had gone to the night before and everyone was loving it. It really is a once a year treat as the calories are off the charts.

Christmas morning videos for the grandparents. The last video was taken after I set up the nativity sets and Simon was playing with them, it was so cute.
