Baby It's Cold Outside!

Christmas evening it started snowing.  Church was even cancelled the next morning. =) Of course that means we got snowed in at my Mom's house.

Nora was dressed appropriately for the drive over in the car in her pajamas Christmas morning.  She was also dressed appropriately for the cold, but not freezing, weather we were having during  Christmas day.  But, she was definitely not dressed appropriately to play in the wet, cold snow!  So, she didn't experience snow until it was melting away the next afternoon.  (After I made it home to get her lots of layers of warm clothes!)



Here is her smiling...(before she touched the snow...)

Doesn't she look warm?

Here is her first experience with snow...=)  I don't think she likes it...I agree with her.  Snow is nice to look at, but it's too cold!!!

Christmas Day

(Note:  Blogger still isn't uploading videos for me...)

We started our Christmas morning by waking up Nora at 8:30.

Wake Up, Sleepyhead

Then, we showed her what Santa brought her.

A toy!

Once we finished presents at our house, we headed over to my Mom's.  We showed her what she got from Santa there.  Her favorites are the pony, a tutu, and some puff baby snacks!

Christmas #3

Our 3rd Christmas celebration was with Aaron's Mom, Leah, on Christmas Eve.  We went over to her house and ate lasagna, garlic bread and had some desert.  Yum!  We hung out and enjoyed playing with all the kids!

We even had a special visitor...(Blogger was being difficult uploading videos, so click on the link to see it on YouTube.)

Christmas #2

Our 2nd Christmas celebration was with Tutu & Rara.  They were going out of town, to see the Browns, so we had to do it early.  We didn't open presents...just enjoyed some good food and fun!  We even learned some Christmas trivia!  Come Christmas morning we sure missed them though!!

Christmas #1

Aaron's Dad and step-mom, Dee Dee, came in town for our first Christmas celebration!  Right as they arrived, Christie (Aaron's oldest sister) had baby Jacob.  It was perfect timing.  =)  After we hung out at the hospital everyone came over to our house to eat and open presents.  The kids (and Emily (Aaron's youngest sister)) we SO excited!!  Well, Nora and Karleigh didn't care too much.  We had another low country boil and it was delish!  Then presents time, followed by oatmeal cookies and egg nog ice cream.

Here's Nora in her cute new shirt I made (before all the action):

Here's some pictures of the craziness.  That's what it was, pure craziness with all those kids opening there TONS of presents!
