SNOW.....

My cousins and their kids from California and Florida could not get enough of the snow. We went sledding almost everyday they were here and played outside in it. I am glad it stuck around for them, but now it can leave!

Christmas

We celebrated Christmas morning with the Talerico's (my cousin and her family)....

Then we headed to lunch at Jamesons Steakhouse with the rest of the crew...

After lunch we went to my parent's house and waited for Santa to arrive...

Santa came and all the kids helped him pass out presents...

Chrismtas this year was extra special, because we had family in from New York, California, and Florida. Not only was Christmas wonderful, this past week has been a blast. It was great to spend time with everyone that we do not see on a regular basis. As always, we had the best time together! 

Sledding

Our family from Florida is in town, so of course we had to take them sledding. They do not get to go sledding too often or even get the chance to see snow. The sled hill was pretty icy, but we managed to only walk away with one injury. Benny wiped out and cut up his face, but that didn't stop him from sledding! Katelyn LOVED sledding, I think she would have stayed out all night!

The North Pole

Last weekend, we headed to the North Pole. We got to visit with Santa and Mrs. Klaus. Katelyn went sledding and drank hot cocoa. Dasher and Dancer were there too! It was such a great time, but it is really cold at the North Pole!

Santa....I know him

We visited Santa today at Bass Pro Shop. There were no tears, but Katelyn looks so scared. Maybe next year she will be smiling!

The Walnut Room

One of our Christmas traditions, is eating lunch in the Walnut Room at Macy's in the city. We started this tradition, once Katelyn was born. We head down for lunch to eat around the tree and then Katelyn picks out ornaments and now Noah too! We had a PERFECT day this year!!
