Facts about Christmas

I have learned a few thing about Christmas.  First, you have to make things pretty to celebrate properly.  So we put lots of new stuff around our house (even on the outside) to get ready.  

























Second, you have to have lots of food around.  Mommy baked a lot and we got to play with our food.  

Third, you get lots of presents and they are just as fun to open as they are to play with. This one is of the family putting together our new kitchen!

 Big pile of presents!

Our present to Grandpa Joe.  We were so lucky to get so much for Christmas.  Thank you to our family for all of the loved you showed to us this Christmas!










Finally, and most importantly, you get to celebrate Jesus' birthday.  We helped Mommy make a cake for him and even blew out his candles.  Jonah told me that Jesus is two now and we are excited to have another toddler friend in our lives!

The merriest Christmas since Bing Crosby tap danced with Danny.....

We had a wonderful Christmas this year.  We actually got to stay home!  We welcomed our family from Indiana to spend the holiday with us and we had a ball.  Enjoy these glimpses of our holiday.

Tiny goat!

Our neighbors' granddaughter, Trinity, brought her baby pygmy goat over to visit.  So we went over to visit her goat, Tebow.  We were very excited!

Playin' in the snow

We finally had snow this winter!  It melted in a couple of days so we can't wait until we get some more!

Jonah loved to watch the snow fall.  He sat here for a long time in the morning.  However, it wasn't as fun as playing in the snow!

















Of course, Jonah played baseball!


































Shep even liked the snow!

















Mommy pulled us in the wagon...













And then we built two snowmen!



















































We really love the snow.  We are ready for more any day now!
