Christmas Recap and Happy New Year!

We had a good Christmas. We didn't get to see family, but we had a nice quiet time at home playing games and just hanging out together.




And Santa came to our house early!!! Here he is with all the kids...



Jake wasn't too sure about this guy but he warmed up to him soon enough. I couldn't believe how much Stan looked like Santa with all that white. And in case you're wondering, that's his real beard that I promptly made him trim when Christmas was over.


And of course the presents...

Here's Mr. and Mrs. Claus...She seems to be aging better than he is. LOL

It's that time of year when everyone bundles up and walks around with clinched cheeks (and I don't mean the ones on each side of your smile!) because of the ice.

We've gotten quite a bit of snow the past few weeks. It hasn't been very cold so it melts and freezes again and again. We're actually on a flood watch today since it's in the 40's and all that snow is melting. Crazy.

This was taken (by me sticking my head out our back door since I didn't have shoes on) the first day of the new year...

Hope your new year is going great so far!
