Christmas Day

This was the tree before the girls came down in the morning. What you don't see is the hamster cage that was on the end table and the hamster running around on the floor in the little hamster ball. They were SO excited! I didn't get many pictures of the morning we were to busy and I didn't think about it. Dustin snapped a few but unfortunately I am in all them and given that it is REALLY early in the morning I am choosing not to share those with the world. Aftermath......

This is our newest addition to the family. This is blackbeary or BB as Maddy and Josey call her. Lilly just calls her fuzzy bunny. Lilly wants to hold her all the time. Everyone loves the hamster.
To make it a perfect Christmas it actually started snowing at about 11:00 after breakfast and everyone was starting to just settle down. It was so exciting for the girls and they were so excited to go outside. We put everyones snow clothes on and ran down to the high school fields and built a snowman and tried to go sledding on the little hills they have. It was really fun!

Their proud creation.



Josey was obsessed with making snowmen and probably would have stayed outside makeing more snowmen if it had continued to snow enough. This is her very own little snowman she built all by herself.
I asked her if she put that leaf on there and she didn't........ so please excuse the leaf.
Is this a happy child or what?



Daddy looks pretty happy as well! Seriously! blow up the picture and you will see how pleased Dustin looks! So funny.

Merry Christmas!! It is so fun to see Christmas through our kids eyes. I bet it was really fun with your girls, they're the prefect age and really know what is going on. It looks like it was a great day for all of you guys! How fun!

I agree with Jill- Dustin probably put the leaf there! Why is Maddy in capri's when it's snowing?! I love the picture of Dustin and lilly laying on him with the pillow!

Well to answer the capri question....because it is kinda wierd. Maddy is down to like four pairs of pants because she has recently out grown them and they were all DIRTY! So sad huh? She ran upstairs to change out of her jammies and go out in the snow and that was what she came down in. When we went to build snowmen I had to fish some dirty pants out of her dirty clothes. Time to do Maddy's laundry.
