Christmas

I'm working on sorting through our pictures from Christmas, but here are a few to start off with:

We are excited about the snow! Last year we had a dusting or two, and the "big snow" of the year was maybe an inch or two. Well it started snowing during the night, and we have close to a foot now - which is TONS for our area. It is still snowing hard, too.

Martin shoveled around 3 and you can hardly tell that he did anything just a few hours later.

We bundled Emma up in my old snowsuit and took her outside for just a few minutes. She was so cute getting ready, as if she new that something new and exciting was happening!

Typical Emma having fun - with tongue out!

The view out our front door now (taken through the storm door which the snow is up against so high again that we can't get it open)

Christmas Tree!

Last weekend we got our Christmas tree! I had been very antsy to get it up, but our weekends in December have been so busy that we had not yet had time. We really enjoy cutting down our own tree, but this year found a really great deal on a pre-cut tree - for $24! I wrote about how we managed to get such a good deal on Thrifty Living.

Emma enjoyed being out and looking at the trees, but once we pick ours out and wanted to get pictures, she looked totally bored, hence her face in the pictures!

We decorated most of the tree once Emma was in bed, but we did let her play with her "Baby's first Christmas" ornament from Oma and look at the tree for a while.
