Joy to the World

We got a White Christmas! I've been waiting and waiting for it to snow and we finally got about 1/4 inch Christmas morning. What a great way to start the day. Now, two days later we have about 8 inches and it's still coming down strong. Oh how I miss my snowboard and Utah's powder snow right now.

Christmas Eve was spent at our friends, Jill and Harry Hadaway's home. They invited us over for a wonderful dinner and Caleb had a great time playing with toys and Jill, she makes a wonderful grandma for Caleb in New Hampshire.

We had a great Christmas once again. And once again, although we miss family we really enjoyed having the day together in our little three-some. Caleb has been skipping naps the last week (he's growing up too fast) and he got to bed late Christmas Eve so he slept until 7:30 on Christmas morning! I can't remember the last time he slept that late. But of course I didn't sleep that late because Paul was awake and itching to wake up Caleb at 6:30am.

 We all had a great time opening our gifts. Caleb got trains and tractors galore. Paul got pants (which he HATES getting clothes, but I'm NOT allowing him to wear his "hobo" pants filled with holes any longer). He also got his coveted Donkey Kong game for the wii and a dutch oven. I was spoiled with a glider rocking chair from my parents, and a wonderful Ninja blender from Paul, as well as the Sound of Music DVD and scarves. Our little baby Grace will be getting a car seat, she's excited.

We had friends over for dinner later Christmas Day and finished our lazy day by playing games.

I love this hat more every time I see it. So cute! Thanks Jackman Family!

I also got the Primary Children's Song Book. Caleb was as excited as I was about it. He recognized it as the book we sing most of our songs from. After breakfast we sat in my new glider and rocked while we sang songs about Christ's birth and snuggled in a new soft blanket. I sure love that kid!

Today we've got more snow! This morning we started our day by sledding at the park. You should've seen me, 9 months pregnant and waddling up the hill pulling a sled, then trying to get on the sled without slipping, and finally getting off the sled once I was down the hill. It would've been great entertainment for anyone watching. Caleb liked the sled until his last run that covered his face in snow. But he loves throwing snowballs and tackling us in the snow.
