Christmas & New Year's


The Monday before Christmas we had a record snow storm. We usually might get 6 in. on a good storm, we got twice that much in one day. We got the van stuck in the snow twice. The ice eventually pulled the Christmas lights off the house as it melted away.


As a tradition, the kids get pjs on Christmas Eve.
We had Christmas eve dinner at Grandpa & Grandma Poulson's house, and had a gift exchange, then went home to open our one present.


The girls Christmas morning.

We can't thank enough all those who made this Christmas, one to remember for our children. They were told not to expect too much, but actually had a fantastic day. Thanks again to all of you that made it happen.
New Year's Eve was fun also, Nana & Papa Card celebrated early, so they watched all but Andrew, who stayed at a friends house, to ring in the new year. Jen and I went to her parent's to play games with family, some from out of town, while we waited for the time to tick away. After midnight, we headed back home, and woke to an empty house, which was sooo nice, We then spent the day and dinner over at Nana and Papa's playing games.
Our final Christmas present arrives tomorrow, when the kids go back to school. HeeHee!!
