A White Christmas

Boy we had a great, white Christmas!  My parents came up a day early to beat the snow that was coming and it's a good thing they did.  They ended up leaving 1 day later than planned too, because the roads on the way to SD were not good.  I think we got between 13-15 inches of snow.  Jeff was outside a lot snow blowing, shoveling and enjoying the elements. :)




Christmas Eve day we all went to church and enjoyed a great service.  We came home, fed the boys dinner, played and put them to bed. Then the adults enjoyed a fondue dinner and opened a few gifts.


Christmas day was great!  Chase and Owen were little angels and had so much fun tearing the paper on their gifts.  We had several shifts of opening.  They would open a few gifts, play, eat, nap, and then we'd open some more.  It was a nice way to do things.  They were very interested in pulling items out of their stockings, playing with their new train set, UFO, books, shoes, Leap Frog ABC game, and their "big" present, the blow up bouncer with 300 balls.  What a snuggly day it was in the house with the fire going, watching big flakes of snow fall from the sky with the ones we loved surrounding us.  What a great day to celebrate the birth of our Lord!

This blog post is especially for Mama Bergs. :)

Chase is asking for more raisins-looking very dapper 

I had to bribe the boys with food to sit down.  They wouldn't look at me.

The UFO the boys got was really a gift for Jeff. It's remote controlled.  Jeff was flying it, wasn't good at flying it yet, and got it stuck in my mom's hair.  It took a bunch of her hair out!  Later that week he got it stuck in my dad's hair!
