Long Overdue Update - Hope Everyone Had a Very Merry Christmas!!

We hope that everyone had a very Merry Christmas and we wish you all many, many blessings in the new year!

This post is way overdue but I figured we'd start with the snow. We got tons of the white stuff - I think at final count we had about 22 inches in all. The kids played and played and loved every minute of it. The best part? We had a white Christmas!!

Here are some photos of the kids while it was falling on the first day...

Here are a few (okay maybe more than a few) photos of the snow around the house. It was so pretty as it fell, I just couldn't help myself. I took tons of pictures!

Yes, I guess you could say I had a thing for outdoor lighting that day. It just looked so Christmas-y

Okay, now on to the Christmas Pageant at church. N and M were sheep. They did a great job and really enjoyed themselves.

Look at the little angel there on the left in the above picture. Don't you just wonder what she's looking at? And what might be happening? Looks like the little one next to her sees it too. Ha ha, so cute.

That brings us up to Christmas! Hope everyone had a good one! We sure did and the kids had a great time too...

I can't believe I forgot the camera on Christmas Eve but they had fun!!

Speaking of Christmas Eve, we had another sonogram on Christmas Eve morning and the doctors say that baby is growing well - she's weighing in at a whopping 4 lbs 4 ozs and that was with 9 weeks still to go! Whew, wish me luck with that one!! Please pray for an easy birth! And...guess what? They tell us she already has hair too. Amazing what they can see on an ultrasound, I didn't even know they could see hair. They took some 4D images of her but the umbilical cord was right in front of her mouth so they were a little distorted. That's okay though because we got some great shots of her eyes, nose and little hand and fingers. Very cool!

Here's the cord in front of her mouth

and would you look at that little pinky finger up there in front of her face?

Here we go, I had to put the belly shot in there! I know I'll miss it once she's here.

Ha, ha, one more...

I'll leave you with this cute little video of "D" He loves to dance. We had a video of a house where the Christmas lights were synchronized to the tune of "Amazing Grace." He loves to watch it over and over again - and dance to it too!

Enjoy...
