The kids just loved playing in the snow. Kenedy and Hallie, especially, spent most of their time outside in the snow. The day after Christmas, my dad bought a sled for the kids. He has a 4-wheeler and spent a little bit of time making a trail all around their yard so he could pull them on the sled behind it Besides Christmas presents, that was the highlight of their trip.
My favorite part of the trip was just being with family and talking, laughing and having fun. I was especially thrilled to meet my new niece. She is adorable and it's always fun to hold a newborn baby in your arms. Thanks so much for coming Natalie and Taylor.
My mom always makes good food for us to eat and it's fun for the kids to be able to spend time with Grandma and Grandpa. Thanks so much for letting us come, Mom and Dad. We sure love you!
Lexie is holding Natalie's little girl, Madeleine. The kids were so excited to meet their new cousin. Lexie told Madeleine what her name was and then said, "Now, Madeleine can be my cousin because she knows my name."
In Jim's house growing up, they had a hallway that could be closed off from the living room and they all had to line up oldest to youngest before they could come out and see what Santa had brought. We have adopted this as a tradition on Christmas morning.
Haden's gift from Santa--model planes. He and Jim were able to put one of them together on Christmas day.
Santa brought Hallie all of the Harry Potter movies. By the look on her face, I think she was excited.
All Lexie wanted was an Ariel doll, since the one she got for her birthday broke.

I am so glad you post your family christmas pictures. It looks like you all had w wonderful and Cold time :)!!!!!!!!!!
what fun to have a white Christmas :)
Oh in class on Sunday, Haden told us all about how his grandpa pulled him on the 4-wheeler.
Wow, it looks like we missed all the fun in the snow! Of course we could never convince Hannah to actually get her snow clothes on and I was busy taking care of a newborn. So maybe next year! Hannah still asks where her cousins are occasionally. She misses Kenedy and Hallie especially.
I was wondering when you were going to post your Christmas pictures :) What a fun time you guys had. I love the pic of the kids in the hallway all lined up. So cute!
I love those Christmas traditions. Its kinda fun to go back to where you grow up and do the same things with your kids. PS Way to go on the blogging!
