White Christmas!

We finally had a white Christmas. We would've thought after living 3+ years up in Wisconsin we would have had one sooner. Even though it was snowing decently at night and the weather was certainly cold enough the snow didn't really amount to much as you can see in the picture of the house taken on Christmas day.

But the lack of snow cover didn't temper the excitement any as Reed was still anxious for Christmas, which he confidently proclaimed was "Santa's Birthday". (He knows now we are really celebrating Jesus' birthday)

The night before Christmas the coast was clear to put out Reed's and Grace's toys for the morning.

Reed's reaction.... :)

Time to open presents... his presents and everyone else's presents too.

and open...

and open...

Reed says "Merry Christmas!... miss you... love you"

Grace just soaked it all in... She wasn't even old enough to enjoy the wrapping paper yet.

But she sure did enjoy watching her big brother play with her toys. (We know we need to enjoy this while it lasts.)
