Christmas...a little late!

Sorry I am so late in posting our Christmas pictures...of course life is hectic and I haven't had the chance to, but before spring arrives I wanted to take the opportunity to share them with you. We had a wonderful holiday and hope that you all did too. Christmas eve we spent with Jake's family and then Christmas morning my Dad and step-mom came over to enjoy watching the girls open their gifts and enjoy a fantastic breakfast made by Jake. We ended our day by having dinner with my Mom, step-dad and brother. It was truly a wonderful day.

Fun in the Snow!

We got our first snow storm of the season and what a storm it was. It dumped 8+ inches in a matter of a few short hours. I think that total is more snow than we got all winter last year. Of course McKenna was itching to go outside and play. She LOVES LOVES LOVES the snow...to the point where you have to carry her in kicking and screaming because you know she will turn into a Popsicle if she stays out there any longer. Luckily we were suited up well for the outing thanks to McKenna's Aunt's Dor and Dar who had just given her, her snowsuit and boots for her Christmas present.

Holiday Party at Westerly Hospital

My brother works for the Westerly Hospital and informed us that Santa would be there to visit with all of his friends and was going to ready a story to all the boys and girls. It sounded like great fun, of course the bummer was that I had to work. So wonderful Nonnie, packed the girls up and took them down to visit Santa and his friends. McKenna isn't so keen on Santa but absolutely loved the reindeer....so much so, it appeared that she was stalking him...LOL.











Checking out the lights

Some relative's of ours always do an eleborate display of lights and decorations. This year has been the best yet...they even have a path so you can walk in and check everything out. McKenna was in absolute amazement. Of course my battery died so I only got a few pictures...we had lots of fun and McKenna didn't want to leave.
