A Snowy Christmas Eve

I can't remember the last time we had true White Christmas!!  It was so beautiful!  Grant you, some people  that we saw stuck in the ditches on the way home Christmas Eve, probably didn't think so!  We celebrated Christmas with Nelson's family Christmas Eve and when we set off to head home at 8:30pm we didn't get home till about 9:15pm!!  There was a car having severe issues right on Main Street by WalMart, Nelson parked us and got out to help them push, but finally the police got there and got the truck off the road so we could pass!  It was crazy!

Anyway, we finally made it home and Will was just soooo excited about playing in the snow, we were like, sure, it doesn't happen very often, so have at!

He made snow angels, threw snow balls, and just had a blast!  Grant you, it took me longer to bundle him up than he played in it, but he had a GREAT time!!  He looked up at me with his red little cheeks and nose and said, "Okay Mommy, I am ready to go in now!"

Ajay on the other hand did not like it at all!!  He was ok just standing in it, but then he decided to pick up some with his hands, and then the screams came!!  He was not sure what that white stuff was or why it was soooo cold on his hands!!  He got to come inside for a nice hot bath right after!!

It really was pretty though!!  So nice to finally have a good old fashioned White Christmas!!

Santa Claus is Coming to Town!

First I would like to say a Very Merry Christmas to Everyone!  I hope you and your families had a great time together this year! I know ours did!!  We had to do things a little differently this year for Christmas since it was Nelson's turn to work Christmas Day at the hospital.  Unfortunately, the hospital does not close, even for Christmas!  But, we made the best of it and since we both had Wednesday off together, we decided that day would be the day Santa would have to visit us this year! 

We finally got the boys to bed and then Nelson and I started to get everything out and ready. . or I guess we were left to help Santa put everything out this year!!  It seems like it just took forever!!  I forgot how much I hate those little plastic twist ties that are on EVERYTHING!!  But, we finally got everything out and set up and got to tuck ourselves in bed about 1:00am! 

Will had left Santa some snacks:  two oreos, a piece of fudge, a sugar cookie, a glass of milk and then carrotts for the reindeer.  Santa must have really liked all that food cause he sure was happy to leave our boys tons of goodies this year!!

Will was a little shocked when he first woke up "Christmas Morning" and he said, "Man, I think all these things are a little kookie. . . .Man, look at that cool bike!"  I think he woke up fast!!

Will had asked Santa for several things this year: a big boy bike, a helmet (thank goodness), a Super K carwash and gas station (don't even, I worked sooo hard on this!), a cement mixer, and legos.  I guess he had been a good boy all year long, cause that's what Santa got him!  Santa also snuck in some other things: a Huge big bug set, beach towel, and doctor kit (he is all about giving people shots to make them better?).

Here is the car wash!  We had to do some homemade additions, but it turned out well I think!!

Ajay must have been a very good boy this year too!  Santa got him a basket ball goal (he LOVES to play ball!), a lawn mower like his bubba, a farm set, and his size legos.  Ajay couldn't decide what to play with first!!  I think the basket ball goal was his favorite though!!  He loved all of bubba's toys too!

He pushed this little mower all over the house!!  I think he really had a fun Christmas!!  It was a great time!!

I think our two little boys were just super good this year, so did Santa!!

I hope every had a GREAT Christmas!!

A Vikings Christmas!

Well, Nelson got to pick out our Christmas card pictures this year! His team, as you can probably guess, is the Minnesota Vikings.  So here we are wearing our purple and gold! Go Vikings!

I love this one!  The boys are just too cute!
