Twas a Very Nice Xmas

We have a had a very nice Christmas. We managed to make it through the bout of stomach flu, poor Grandma got it the worst and is now on the mend. The girls were very good this year, especially dealing with my getting through school and now new job, and Santa sure knew it! We are very excited for this new year coming up. We all hope it means some peace and settling down in our lives. We can move on, give Gram and Gramps their house back, and begin again! We appreciate greatly all of the support and patience our family and friends have shown us, and we can't say it enough. We miss those of you that are far away, and are happy that the blog provides us a tool to keep you all updated.


Amelia got exactly what she wanted, Thomas the Tank Engine!

Livy checking out her stocking loot

IDOG Clothes?!?!?!

This is one of Amelia's love/hate toys. She loves this doll, it's a great size, and talks, but she sometimes just wants it to "be quiet!"

I know a few of you have been inquiring about our amount of snowfall so far...here's a taste!



Liv got a snowboard from Aunt Elaine (thanks!) She got to try it out for the first time yesterday, and seems to be quite a natural on it!

Of course Amelia had to try it too!


I love this picture! It's blurry because my lens was fogging up, but shows Livy's concentration.This is her first run down the hill!

Poor Mills gets so cold, but loves to be out.
She didn't want to sled anymore but this is what she does. hahahaha
