Merry Christmas!

We had a good Christmas this year, but I'm excited to put things away and get ready for 2011. Before I finish off Christmas for this year, I'll post a few pictures from our festivities. We hope you all had a Merry Christmas!

Christmas Eve: The traditional reading of the Night Before Christmas in our new pjs!

Do these kids look ready for bed? Yeah right! Hurry or Santa will be here before you are asleep!

Cameron is excited...

And so is Jared (if you can find him hiding in all the wrapping!)

And just 4 days late, snow! Almost a White Christmas! Here Ryan is teaching Megan how to make a snow angel.

Duvall ended up with about 4 inches of snow. Perfect for playing in.

This weekend we are packing up and heading to Spokane for Drew's uncle's funeral. Drew's dad, Denny, is serving a mission in Romania for our church, and he is flying home for the funeral. So we are excited to see him this weekend. We all wish Grandma could come too, but we know we'll see her soon! (73 days, she said this morning!) Have a safe and Happy New Year!

SNOW!

After no snow last winter, we were all excited when the weather forecast predicted snow the week before Thanksgiving. And we were even more excited when it actually snowed! A whole 3 inches or so, but it was very cold and icy, so no school for 2 days right before Thanksgiving (the kids already had early release days due to parent teacher conferences). Perfect for sledding down our neighborhood hill. It was fun - all the neighborhood kids and the parents headed out for a beautiful morning of sledding and playing in the snow. If it snowed this early in the "winter", what are we in for this year? Bring it on!
