It Snowed!

It finally snowed a little bit this morning again. After getting a little snow on the ground Christmas day, the little extra that fell this morning gave us more to play in. Noah has been begging to go out and play in the snow so we finally bundled up the kids and turned 'em loose. Noah had a blast running and jumping in the snow.

Madison on the other hand was very interested in the snow, but it took a little bit to coax her into it. They both enjoyed running and jumping in the little snow piles.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Santa visited our house this morning and the kids were very excited to see what he brought!

Noah looking at all of the stuff sitting under the tree. We actually had to tell him to finish going down the stairs as he was in awe of everything!

Noah finding that Santa brought him a couple of Thomas trains he asked for.

Madison's new pack'n play for her dolls. She actually likes to sit in it more than she likes to put her babies in it!

Her favorite toy of all...Santa brought her a new table and chairs that has a dry erase top. She has been sitting at this table all day and has been having a lot of fun drawing with the markers. She did manage to get marker all over her clothes and face!

We weren't able to drive back today because of the weather. We are hoping to start back tomorrow, but if the roads don't improve, we might see everyone over the new year. Guess we'll see what happens. We did have a white Christmas...about an inch of snow fell today. Merry Christmas from St. Louis!

Santa!


Madison was not a big fan of Santa! She was excited to get the gift at first, but then I put her on his lap and it was over!

Noah did great this year. He was very excited to go sit on his lap and get a gift.

We even had to tell him to get off. He was so excited to get the gift that he was trying to open it while he was on Santa's lap. I was very proud of him. I think he figured out that Santa wasn't so bad after all.

Pictures with the new camera!

So we finally got our new camera in the mail and we are having a lot of fun taking pictures of the kids. What a difference in the picture quality! Wow! I am trying to be diligent and read the manual so that I know how to work the camera but even in full auto mode it takes awesome pictures!
