Let it Snow

It snowed in Raleigh and as you can probably guess this doesn't happen very often for us here in the South. We actually had about 5". The kids were begging to go outside as soon as they woke up which is about 7am. We went out around 8am and spent about an hour and a half sledding and doing other fun things in the snow (we tried to make snowballs but it didn't work so well). Easton wasn't so sure if the snow was for him. Maddy did take him sledding and he thought that was pretty fun. He wanted to go inside and once he did he was done. Emma, and Madison spent a lot of time in the snow and Graham did venture out one more time after he came in and warmed up for a little while. It was a fun day.

Christmas 08

I figured I better post something about Christmas before I forget the fun times we had. December went fast as it always does. Jason started his new job with Kuehne and Nagel the first of December and he was busy traveling pretty much right away. We still managed to do some fun family things in between his travels. Decorating the tree, making allergy free ginger bread houses and of course the trip to see Santa. There is a great family in Apex who donates their garage for Santa to use. They decorate it like his workshop and give out candy canes and everything. It is sooo much better than the mall because Santa isn't as rushed and can take his time with the kids and mom/dad can take their time snapping pictures. Love it!! For Christmas my dad and Brenda came. We had fun with secret santa even though Grandpa's wasn't so secret! December was a great month filled with fun memories.
