Merry Christmas Bamma & Bampa

Snowmageddon


Snowmageddon 2008 (what the weathermen have dubbed this last storm). It sounds scarier than it really is ;)
Here is what we got to deal with this weekend. Hopefully it is done, but they are saying we could be getting some more this afternoon. I hope not. There wasn't any snow on the ground before Friday. However, we are VERY blessed to have a neighbor with a snowblower. He has done the majority of our snow clearing without us even asking. VERY KIND!!!! I will be baking a few batches of yummy Christmas goodies as a small "thank you".

Aidan's Christmas Concert




Aidan's B-Day Weekend

Aidan is 4yrs. old now. I can't believe it has gone by so fast. After his concert we went back to Brian's parents' house for a "little" B-Day gathering. He got to open his gifts from all of the cousins which was a lot of fun dress up stuff.

This morning we had a little party for Aidan at the local Rec Center. We rented out a room for the kids to run around and play for an hour before coming back to the house for food and cake. It was a fun time.
The trampolines were by far the most popular thing.



My pretty girl. I love her so much.

All of the B-Day guests.



Cake time.

Relaxing after a long day of partying.

Frosty the Snowman


Here is what we have done with our morning. We woke up to lots of snow and after shoveling we went into the backyard and made our first snowman of the year. Aidan is singing "Frosty the Snowman" for his Christmas concert at school so of course he wanted to name him Frosty.

It's Christmas Time



Last night we decorated our Christmas tree. We had Gloria Estefan's Christmas CD playing and there was a lot of singing and dancing. This is my favorite time of the year. I love just after Thanksgiving, going and picking out a tree and decorating it together. The kids enjoyed putting the decorations on the tree, and we only had a few smash to the floor and break.




All was going well.......... for a little while at least until.......
Yes, that is our tree, lights and all, on the floor. Pretty funny. Brian didn't find it quite as humorous as I did. But, we managed to get it back up and believe it or not, it is still standing this morning. Here is the finished product.
