Another Christmas has come and gone. Here are a few of the high and low lights....
We woke up to no power and about a foot of snow on the ground, which throughout the course of the day turned into at least 2 feet.
Marti had been asking for a princess kitchen for about 2 months, we set it up on Christmas Eve expecting a big response from Marti on Christmas morning. Marti came down the stairs and wouldn't even look at her kitchen, so typical Marti, she is so wary of new things (and places and people). Emersyn got half way down the stairs threw her hands up in the air and yelled "oh yeah!", she just about fell down the rest of the stairs she was so excited. Marti was excited too, it just takes longer to get it out of her.
Marti and Emersyn got recorders in their stockings, I just happened to see them in Pier One a few days before Christmas and thought they would be fun. Marti loves it, she calls it her flute. She is so serious about having her fingers on the holes before she blows in it.
We went to Kemps for Christmas brunch, biscuits and gravy and ableskivers. Emersyn ate more food than just about anyone else.
Marti and Emy loved running around and laughing with their Kemp and Cobbley cousins, and of course opening presents.
After a ham and turkey dinner at the Cobbleys we got in our snow gear and went sledding down their backyard. Emersyn went down the hill all by herself, what a daredevil.
There was one injury on Christmas, of course it happened to Emy, she is about as coordinated as her mom (that's not much). She was getting pulled in the wagon and she fell out and bit right through her lip, luckily she didn't need any stitches. She is so tough she just cried for a few minutes and then headed back down to play.
Here is a slide show of our Christmas morning....

Tawnia left out one little detail in her description of the morning. Tawnia had left the garage door open all night (on the night of the worst snow storm of the year). our garage was full of snow. I spent an hour or so digging out our cars (in the garage) and shoveling the driveway. guess who checks on the garage before going to bed now???
The pictures are so cute. I wish we could have been flies on the wall to check it all out. Thank you for a wonderful Christmas. I love, love, love, love the BOSE. Having an Ipod rocks ! ! ! !
