Merry Christmas!

We have been very blessed this year! We wish we could have been with all of those we hold dear, but as we all know... that is just not possible. Here are a few photos from our Christmas.

Our Christmas started on December 17, when Grandpa and Brenda came to visit.

Christmas continued with our own family Christmas on the 18th since we were heading to Colorado on the 19th...
Bryce gave Roy a new belt that he was wanting.

Austin gave me a massage/heat pad that fits onto a chair. It has a wall plug and an auto plug... so I ride in comfort now!

The boys had two gift that were for them to share... below is the result...

This morning Santa Came! We must have been good!

We woke up to yet another snowy day - we are projected to receive from 6 to 20 inches by Friday, we well surpassed the 6-inch mark today... we'll see where it ends up. There is a good 2 feet of snow on the ground as it is.

This is the tree as it appeared prior to Santa...

This is the view just out the window behind the tree of the thick snow fall...

Decorating a gingerbread house on Christmas Eve...

Santa's gifts...

My nephew, Cole, peaking into his stocking.

Bryce rummaging through all the goodies Santa left.

Austin, trying to figure out his Chinese hand cuffs - it was quite comical.

Roy displaying his new sweater. He would want me to make sure everyone knows that the bear is mine...

Mimi and Papa got Austin a new telescope and microscope kit.

Cole's other grandpa sent him this awesome wagon! We had a difficult time getting him out of it.

My niece, Mikaela, is spending a few days with her mom and was supposed to join us today but due to bad roads was unable to get to us or us to her... we are hoping we will see her tomorrow.

We have purchased a couple of sleds and hit the slopes yesterday. We took pics with a camera that uses a different memory card so we haven't been able to get the photos off of it. We plan to go again several times and will upload photos of the frozen fun.

I hope everyone had a peaceful and joyous Christmas!
