Winter = Snow.

Our life in the winter is consumed by the cold, white stuff. But the girls are following in their father's footsteps--they love the snow and ask to play in it everyday.





Stella is still trying to get used to the gear you have to wear--she can hardly move around she is so bundled up.

Santa Came!

Our Christmas morning in photos--so much fun with the kids.






All Presley wanted from Santa was a Wheely Ladybug, like Stella's Wheely Bee--they are still racing all around the house--I love it!

Christmas Eve.

On Christmas Eve we opened presents from my side of the family--my parents were still in NC with my sister and her new babies . . . this is what you missed!






The girls loved the movies, dolls, dress-ups, and games. Thank you, we missed you all! After gifts we went outside to sprinkle "reindeer food" for Santa and his reindeer--it worked they found our house (thanks Tami!).

Cute matching pjs Grandma!

Santa.

Presley had a holiday performance at her preschool--Mormor and grandpa Carl came up to see the songs and dancing. We made a day of it and got lunch at the local Mexican place after we had cookies and treats.



The best part probably had to be Stella's face when I sat her in Santa's lap--priceless.

The Twins!

My sister had her babies on Friday, December 11th. CONGRATULATIONS!

Tree.

This is only the third tree that we have had in 10 years--sad, I know. I can't believe how perfect this one is. For now the tree is only decorated with white lights . . . I am still trying to decide whether or not to add ornaments and other decoration (I need a topper for sure). Perhaps by Christmas it will look a bit different.
