Snow!

These two have been playing ball together....I love how Isaiah gets down in his shooting stance!
We were hoping that stubborn top tooth would come out before Christmas, so Hannah could sing "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth", but it held out until a few days after.  She was able to turn it completely around backward, and it still didn't come out!  She actually woke up in the morning with the tooth sitting on her tongue.  She had just woken up here and barely has her eyes open, but was very happy to discover the tooth was finally gone!
Movie time for the kids while we caught up with some wonderful friends who we never get to see...
Grandma's Christmas gift is very popular and they eagerly wait their turn to drive.  Isaiah is the only willing passenger because he can't quite reach the pedals yet!
Getting ready to go find some snow!
We had a wonderful, fun time in the snow!  I have to admit, I was a reluctant participant, anticipating all the work and cold, tired kids, but we all had a blast sledding, building snow caves, and belly flops into the deep powder!






Snowball fight with Daddy!










Hot cocoas and mochas on the way home made for a perfect snow day!

Merry Christmas!

The kids opening their gifts from each other after our Christmas Eve candlelight service at church...

 Our handsome boys in their ties!
 This is what Isaiah has been doing.....over and over and over.....

 He enjoyed a blue sucker from his stocking before playing with his new construction costume from Nana and Boppa!
 Ready to work!
 Happy Birthday, Jesus!!!

 Daddy got the kids (and himself) a remote control helicopter....
 Isaiah had a small collision with the helicopter and his eye, so Daddy got out his protective goggles!
 Our little chef in her new dress-up from Nana and Boppa.  Can you tell she loves it??!!!
No pictures from the rest of the day, but we had a relaxing morning with Grandma and Papa, brunch, playing, and relaxing.  Eliza helped Mommy cook for Christmas dinner while Isaiah napped, then we enjoyed a wonderful time at the Smith's for Christmas dinner!

Santa sightings...

We gathered with 12 special families from our small group (and too many kids to count!)  Santa made an appearance with small gifts, much to the kids' delight!

 Afternoon Christmas crafting...


 A visit with Santa at Bellevue Square...
