Happy holidays!

We definitely aren't lacking any snow this year for Christmas(as of yesterday, we have recieved between 70-80 inches already and it just keeps on coming)! As you can see from my new picture on my post (up above) we took out our old cutter tonight. It was fun to walk around and look at all of the Christmas decorations, we attached some jingle bells for some old fashioned ambiance too.
Yesterday the kids went to the fire department(Jeff's dad is a firefighter) Christmas party. These reindeer where waiting for Santa.

Capturing the excitement as Santa arrives (Walter, Kirsten and Cale).
Walter told Santa that he wants some Geo trax train things and wasn't the least bit shy
Rose E on the other hand clung to her
Daddy like glue as soon as Santa entered the building
Oh so painful!

She sure did like her new Elmo books that he gave her though, maybe he isn't so bad after all. Here she is reading them with Grandma.Walter got a new firetruck which he has been sleeping with and was excited to sit in a real fire truck.
My picture here isn't the greatest but a few days ago we also went to Kirsten's Christmas program at her school(I think it is so neat that she attends the school that is named after her great grandpa(and Jeff's grandpa too) considering that he put so much of his heart and soul into that school when he was the superintendent). Anyway, it was a darling program and Kirsten seemed to know the words well to the songs. She looked so cute up there, in the picture she is on the second row the second one in (Emily has clearer pictures on her blog).

Finally three bugs in a rug! We set-up this tent in our living room the other night and as a special treat the kids watched Christmas cartoons while snuggling and I baked. It was fun because we all enjoyed some cookies and hot chocolate afterwards.
