Let It Snow - Another Snow Day, We love it!!!

We had another snow day and this time Daddy was home from work and Joey wasn't sleeping. The snow was too soft so we couldn't make a snowman, but Hailey was able to make a snow angel which she had been looking forward to. This year Joey really liked the snow. He was able to walk around on his own in his "snow" attire. He even climbed up on a mound of snow that was created by the snow plows and slid down head first.

Christmas 2008

This year, as always, we headed to Lolo and Lola's for Christmas Eve. Uncle Rodney came into town for the holiday. It took us so long to get to New Jersey due to traffic that we missed Church. Lola had prepared a grand feast which we were looking forward to especially since we were so hungry.

Christmas morning we woke up to find that Santa had left Hailey a pink scooter that she had asked him for and a 2 ft Mac Truck for Joey for him to play with with all his cars. Between all the toys these two received, I think we can open our very own toy store. That afternoon we went to Grandma and Grandpa's where the kids received even more toys. At the end of the day Hailey told me that she must have been a very good girl this year to deserve such great gifts. Thanks to All!!

Christmas Card - 2008

Originally I was going to take the kids to get professional shots done but then decided I would try and do it on my own. I knew that I would only get one shot at this, and I was right.After this shot was taken neither Hailey nor Joey wanted to cooperate any longer. I decided not to push and to take what I could get. I don't think it came out too bed. Right?!?!?

We also had to take a picture of the 4 of house for Grandma and Grandpa's Christmas Card.

A snowy day and a visit to see Santa.

Today I decided it was time to take the kids to visit with Santa Claus after we picked Hailey up from school. She was very excited and had been anticipating this for a few days now. So, when we woke up to find a blizzard outside there was no way I could tell her we had to wait another day.

I took the kids to Hicks Nursery where we walked through their Christmas display:

Afterwards we headed over to where Santa was sitting patiently waiting for us. Hailey ran over immediately and sat on his lap. Joey however was not at all entertained. He wanted no part of Santa and had no problem showing it. Santa did the best job he could trying to help me get at least one decent picture. Joey, had other ideas!!!

I was able to get one good picture of Hailey and Joey together. (of course, Santa was not in the picture)

Before leaving Hicks, we headed outside to see the Reindeer and check out all the snow.

Joey fell asleep in the car on the way home so after carrying him into the house and putting him to bed, Hailey and I headed outside for a a little snowy fun. Jake even joined in on the action.
