A White Christmas 2009

We had a great trip back to Minnesota for Christmas this year. We flew in the Tuesday before Christmas and the snow started falling that night. It literally snowed for 3 days straight and it was beautiful! We lucked out because the temperatures stayed relatively warm... upper 20's and lower 30's during the day. The kids had such a great time in the snow and playing with their cousins. They were so cute all bundled up in their snow gear. We were at Grandma's house for a week and it was good times all around and very relaxing. The pictures below are from the trip and in no particular order. Santa came Christmas Eve which was a highlight for the kids. William loved riding the snowmobile (surprise, surprise) . Maddie and Josh built an awesome snowman (with a little help from me). William got a skateboard for Christmas (which we opened the night before we left on our trip). That was his Dad's call. Looks like an accident waiting to happen if you ask me... a 3 year old and a skateboard? Well, hopefully I'm wrong. I was off from work for the full two weeks of Christmas and New Years. I did not miss it at all. It was so nice and relaxing I was thinking I might be able to get used to it! Ha-ha. Back to reality this week. Here's to the start of what I hope will be a great Year!
