December 27th Snow

We almost had the "White Christmas" we were hoping for! Oma, who spent Christmas with us, was thrilled to see it even though it didn't quite get here on Christmas day! This was taken at night. It is amazing how light things look with the reflection off the white.

Christmas 2009

Just a few memories from Christmas this year! The kids had lots of fun. We had lots of fun. And it was great having our Oma with us this year from Florida! Jackson was happy that "Lucky", his elf, came to visit us again this year (you can see Lucky in the picture with the kids on the stairs). Yeah, he is 1st cousins with the elf from the original Rudolph movie....


Christmas Morning still untouched by kiddies!

Christmas Morning - patiently waiting!

One more photo op!

Christmas Party 2009

Our Church Christmas party this year. Paris was Santa's helper passing out candy canes to all the kids. The extended red smile on her face is from her eating them as well...she looks like the Joker from Batman...
