White Christmas

After the grands checked out what Santa had brought and we all opened gifts, we ate breakfast and the kids played with their new toys.  And then the magic happened – it began to snow!!!  Chandler and Rainey were so excited.  Well – I’ll admit, I was pretty excited as well.  I couldn’t remember having snow on Christmas Day!!  At first we all ran out onto the back porch in our pajamas to check it out. 

The flakes were huge and fluffy.  Before too long there was a thick layer of snow so we bundled up and went out to play.  Chandler and Rainey would play for a while and then come back in to warm up.  I would put the wet clothes in to wash.  Later we would bundle them up again to go out.  I don’t know how much laundry I did but they were having fun and how often do we get snow!! 

 

Granna's snow angels!!!

 

Kinsler wanted no part of this!!!  He does not like to be cold!!!

 

Olsen loved being in the snow.  Wherever Chandler and Rainey are - that is                 where Olsen is going to be!!!

 

Of course we made snow ice cream but I could not get Austin and Chuck to help me – even though that’s what they do every day at their jobs.   

In between snow play we had hot chocolate and made some birthday cakes.  Chandler and Rainey decorated them for Jesus.  Then we sang “Happy Birthday” to Jesus and had cake!! Rainey wanted to know when Jesus was going to get some cake.    

 

The snow was beautiful and the kids had a blast playing in it.  What a great day celebrating Jesus'  birth!!!
