Day after Christmas Day

Normally this is a day that many people get out of the house for, after spending all yesterday inside.
But for us, well that really wasn't possible with 1 1/2 feet of snow still on the ground.
So what did we do.....

We Played snow ball dodging on the Wii

we all had a go.. even Ashton. but he still didn't like the warm verson of it.

Christmas 2009

We had a great Christmas this year.

Tom has been the hardest to buy for as he is now almost 9 and not into little boy toys anymore so this year we brought a Wii! for Him.

 he also had a few other things!

including a BIG bag of pistachio nuts

Ashton didn't get left out, he got.........wait for it........ PIRATES

His very own pirate model boat, to go on the shelve with Dad's figures!

And of course he had to paint it with Dad's help... that day!

The question I hear you ask is what did Mom do while the boys were having all the fun painting with Dad?

she had fun with her favorite thing... electronics!!!!

Merry White Christmas

I would not like to meet the person who wished for a white Christmas this year.
Because we got one 6 days before Christmas day. But not to worry it will not melt as we got 17 inches of the white stuff...

Our area has this thing, we see about 2-6 inches total of snow each winter, in about 2-3 storms so this was unusual for this area and as this place has a habit of shutting down for 1 inch of snow, you can guess what it is like now we have 17 inches of the stuff. but we had fun anyway!

This is in the trees outside our place.

The cars need to be dug out too!!!!!

We tried to go sledding but it was too deep and soft for it..

But great for Tom's snow fort.

 

Not so great for Ashton to walk in!!
