Christmas Morning

What a Christmas to remember!  It started snowing around 10:00 on Christmas morning and snowed hard all day long.  We didn't even make it to Mimi and Pawpaw's because we were a little nervous about the road conditions.  We ended up with at least a couple of inches of snow.  It was beautiful.  We just had a nice, lazy day at home.

The kids actually slept until around 8:30.  Noah, of course, was the first one up.  He had to go and wake Abby and Nathan.  They were pretty slow to wake up as usual.  We went down to check out what Santa had brought.  Abby walked in slowly trying to take everything in.  She only saw the dollhouse at first.  Noah and Nathan ran in and just starting picking up toys.  It took them a little while to notice their bikes.  Once they did they took a little ride around the house. (The first of many!)

Our First White Christmas!

Santa brought everyone games this year.  These are the boys' first games.

Abby and her American Girl "twin" doll

We gave Abby her first ''big girl" bible this year.  She was thanking Daddy for it.

Abby teaching Nathan how to use his new laptop.

Heaven!  A brother (Noah) and sister playing quietly together while Mommy and Daddy cook.

Nathan taking a spin on his new bike.  I never thought I would let kids ride a
bike in my house.  I didn't have the heart to make them wait for warmer weather.

This was one of my gifts from Bobby.   He knows that I prefer ribbon to stick on
bows so this was all to aggravate me.
