Our Snowman

Nana & Papa invited us over to go sledding down the big hill since we didn't have to work in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr's birthday. Nana made chili and hot dogs for lunch. We were going to wait until after naps for sledding, but Alex refused to take a nap and Thomas slept way too long so we headed out without him. He didn't even know he missed anything.

Of course Uncle Adam and Gabbi had a great time throwing snowballs at one another. Uncle Adam got Gabbi really good one time!! Papa even managed to pull Alex in the sled one handed. He's still not 100% after his rotator cuff surgery, but he getting better! Mommy even managed to take a turn down the hill, but barely missed a bunch of trees. It was my only trip down the hill!!! The same was true for Nana!

The snow was perfect for making a snow man, so we did!!! Of course Daddy and Uncle Thomas had to immediately destroy it, but it was still fun!! We headed inside and had smores made in the fire place. What a fun day!!!

Playing in the Snow!!

Here we go. . . the 1st ride!!!

Nobody's hurt!!!

The only picture I have of Daddy pulling Alex (look in the background).

He was talking to Aaron a good chunk of the time I was taking pics!!

Thomas throwing a snowball at his Daddy!!

Gabbi decided on Sunday that she wanted to come for a visit, so she called and said they were coming!! They brought their snow clothes and sleds so we headed out for a little bit of fun. This was Alex's first time actually going out to play in the snow and he really seemed to enjoy it. There wasn't that much snow on the ground, but just enough to have fun in. We were outside for about 45 minutes, which is pretty impressive I think for two little boys who aren't used to the cold.

We came inside and had a yummy lunch, the boys watched a DVD Nana got them for Christmas and then napped. Daddy and Uncle Thomas watched playoff football and Gabbi and Aunt Molly baked cookies. We had a very fun day!!! Thanks for inviting yourself over Gabs!!! It was a great time!!

Our last Christmas celebration was at Great Grandma Furness's house. We of course stuffed our bellies full of food one last time, and then started the process of opening presents. The kids opened theirs and then we had our white elephant gift exchange for the adults. We tried getting a picture of the 3 littles with their pillows Heather and Aunt Jody made for them, but it was a lost cause. It was a long day, but we had a good time. Alex was exhausted by the end of the night and asking to go bye-bye. As soon as we were done opening presents and taking family pictures we headed home. Another great Christmas is officially in the books!!!
