Christmas... Home for the Holidays

Christmas was PICTURESQUE! We woke up to heavy snow and it didn't stop all day, still snowing when we went to bed. It was SO much fun, by night fall we had 8 inches. The boys were in Utah this year for Christmas and were missed terribly but we made the best of it and enjoyed the holiday differently this year and it was wonderful. Being that the babies are still quite young it was slim and was very nice. Although I have to say, prior to Christmas morning when the elf's are doing inventory, it always seems like Santa made a haul until you see it on the couch and you're like... "is that it?" Oh well, it is not about the presents anyway, well that is at least what I think. This year I told Ben that I didn't want "things", all I wanted was a love letter, he wasn't sure about that idea and replied "but I want presents", yep... still a kid. Anyway I got what I wanted at least, my sweet precious sugar bear wrote a long, juicy, involved love letter, he was a bit overdue and it was worth the wait, thanks love bug!





December brought the conclusion of the boys indoor soccer season, which their team quite frankly did terribly at, not because they didn't try nor their bad coaches (sorry Ben and Scott) but there are some really amazingly good soccer kids out there. I guess it does really pay off to start them early. They had fun anyway and they get an A+ for fighting hard.


Hope you all had a very memorable holiday! Hard to believe the year (2007) is gone and we are on to a new year and new adventures. Good luck to you all in the New Year, it is going to be a GREAT one!
Thanks Haley Smartie Pants for the "blog" lift, looks cute huh :)!!

Sounds like a fun holiday! We had snow before and after Christmas, but it rained and blew on the actual day. Not cool! Anyways, nice to see a new post!

looks like a fun Christmas. I like the balloon idea & not wrapping everything. I think I'll be copying you next year. I love your blog background!
