Snow 2008

We have lived in NC for 3 winters and this is our first snowfall! It looks like we only got 1-2 inches and is starting to thaw. For a few more pictures

Christmas Videos

The following two videos were taken with my new Flip video recorder that Scott gave me for Christmas. The first one, I took, is of Quinn telling me to stop taking his picture because he is trying to do something. I am not sure, but I think that is usually why you take video, because someone is doing something :) The second one, Josh took, is Eli singing "Twinkle, Twinkle" in our basement or as he says "Twankle, Twankle". Josh couldn't get him to sing at first, then when he started Eli didn't want to give up the microphone. That is Quinn singing a little in the background but he would not sing into the mic.

All hearts came home for Christmas! We had lots of presents, food and fun.

We all took lots of pictures. Thanks to Nikki and Amy for taking my traditional ones - the little boys in their matching pajamas in front of the tree and then one in grandpap's lap. I may have to rethink this next year, as the three won't be able to fit soon. Then my "head shots" of the boys and the one on the front porch (below) in their coordinating sweatshirts (or sweaters last year).

This year Scott built a fire in our backyard fire pit and we roasted marshmallows and made S'mores. I love all of our new traditions, like making cookies for Santa and a birthday cake for Jesus on Christmas Eve with Amy and her boys. This year while Nikki was shooting outside photos, Amy and the boys (big and little) threw the football around and played.
I am especially thankful for all the blessings my family brings to me with each visit.
