Dreaming of a White Christmas

We didn't have to dream this year ~ our city had it's first White Christmas in over 40 years. The snow began falling around 9:30am and as of 11pm Christmas night, it was still falling! We took advantage of the snow (and our new snow bibs) and played, sledded and had a snowball fight this afternoon!
Getting her 1st look at the snow

Cooper's not too sure about it!
Let the sledding begin! (Thanks Ms C for the sled last year!)
Cooper's turn
Going solo
Daddy and Reagan
Mommy and Cooper's turn

SNOW BALL FIGHT

Get 'em Reagan
Better watch your back!

Don't get mom!
Why are they ganging up on the camera lady?
Ready...Set...GO!

Not mom again!
Cooper James!
She got me


Snow angels

Reagan started shoveling snow. She said she was "going to clear a path to grandma's house"
Cooper tried to clear the snow too
Cooper's attempt at a snow angel
Cooper and Mom
Reagan and Mom
The neighbor boys came over to sled down our driveway

Greg had to get one more run in!


Reagan and Cooper did not want to go out in the snow, but once they were outside, it was hard to get them back in. We had a great time just spending time as a family and acting like kids! What a great Christmas gift!

Merry Christmas 2010

Merry Christmas from our house to yours!!

Coming down the stairs to see what Santa brought

Cooper was admiring Reagan's toys
A mermaid ~ her most favorite gift.
Watching Thomas go around the track

A new pillow for her bed

Santa cleaned his plate
The reindeer ate all of their food too!

She had so much fun playing with the zoo


A couple of books were in Reagan's stocking
Cooper got a book in his stocking too

He watched his train for hours today
Go Thomas Go!
She named the mermaid "Lucy"
So sweet!
Opening her gift from Cooper
a new leotard for gymnastics
Reagan's school had a "Santa Shop" where the students could buy gifts for their family members. Reagan bought Cooper a basketball set
She bought Greg a "greatest Dad" cap
and, she bought me a pair of earrings

It started to snow around 9:30am
Ms Deb stopped by yesterday and brought gifts for Reagan and Cooper. A puzzle of the United States for Reagan
and a Memory Game for Cooper

still snowing at 1pm
a little video of the snow. Wasn't sure how much snow we would get, so I wanted to capture our 1st snow of the year on video.
"The Savior - yes the Messiah, the Lord - has been born to you today in Bethlehem" Luke 2:11 NLT

Look What Santa Left

Greg and I stayed up late to see what Santa would bring the kids on Christmas morning...

Cooper's pile
A Farm House
A Bounce Back Racer
A Thomas the Tank Engine Train Set
Reagan's pile
A Dinosaur Park
A Zoo
A Mermaid Barbie

Rumor has it that Santa didn't finish assembling all the toys until 2am!!
