First things First...including Christmas Eve.

When we FINALLY got to John's parent's, it was too late and cold to do anything outside. When it was morning however, there was not much we could do to stop them. John took the kids outside just to go down a tiny hill that his parents had. They were ecstatic about anything that had to do with the snow. Deeken got his first real taste for snow. He didn't like it much, but if he is anything like his siblings it will grow on him. This is a fun game we got to play on Christmas eve with the Matther's Farr cousins. You sit in a circle while a story about Mr. Left and Mr. Right is told, and every time you hear left or right you have to pass the present that direction. The kids had a great time. Of course everyone wanted the biggest present, but they all ended up with the same thing, new snow hats. Thank you Matt and Meriah. Here is a picture of Noah and Micah with theirs. This is Deeken sporting his Uncle Sam's hat. Sam was helping him talk on the microphone. He mostly just grunted. This is Noah getting his turn on the mic. He asked if he could sing a song. The song he chose to sing was one he learned in school. The title, "Hanukkah." Hilarious! His father and I were so proud! The last thing we did on Christmas Eve was open our traditional Jammies. The kids loved them. Micah especially liked her doll that matched. So with the opening of one present, we sent them to bed with visions of sugar plums dancing in their heads.
