Wow, is 2011 really over?!? I can't even believe it. Life just keeps on flyin by!!
Well I don't know about y'all, but we had a fan-tastic Christmas!! A blessed one indeed.
Christmas Eve jammies!
Nat begged and begged to open gifts Christmas Eve, but I just couldn't fathom waking up Cmas morning to nothing.... so I settled with 1 gift along with their jammies.

Bubba tried using pliers to eat with! To say Nat was proud would be an understatement. ;)
We had a white Christmas.... which was pretty amazing. We got like 8 or so inches the 3 days it snowed. All 3 kids were either sick or on the verge of getting better so we didn't go out in the snow.
Santa came and brought the much awaited tooth brushes.... that is ALL Madelynn asked for this Christmas.
We've been dying to get the girls some Power Wheels since they're right at that age where they would LOVE them. So we took advantage of living in a warmer climate we live in and got them each one for Christmas... .wouldn't you know there would be snow on the ground for a week!! So needless to say, it was a bum that we couldn't take the jeeps out for a ride for awhile.
Here they come!
Nat took us out to "play" in the snow (in the suburban).... so we went and visited the cows while we were in the back pasture.
Luckily, we headed out of town during the melting process of all this snow and icicles... There is not much messier than melting snow with dogs, kids and husbands.
It was sure pretty while it lasted.
Can't believe how much they have grown! :-)
