A Merry Christmas Day

Christmas morning at our place. The kids woke up at a respectable hour, 6:30am. Our little guy went out to see the tree and said, "Oh, come look! Santa has been here. Look at all the presents!" And then our daughter went out and was excited to open things up. I stopped them in their tracks and said, "wait, let me get one picture!" And the sighs of "aw, mom!" filled the air. Well, lucky me...they were beaming with smiles because they new what was to follow - gift opening. :)


It is our family tradition to head for the mountains and take in the snow on Christmas day - if it is to be had. And today did not disappoint. There was plenty of snow on the pass today and we even had snowfall at our place too. None to play in but it was fun to see it fall here. Up at the pass it was 29 degrees and very nice. The kids sledded til their hearts were content. Here is a snap I got of Maiya begging her to stand still. She gave me this look. Aw, it's painful getting your picture taken isn't it.

So, the boys had to try a run together. Daddy is a little too big for this sled but he braved a run on the kiddie slope with our son. Here they are all smiles before they zipped down the hillside.

And last, here's a shot of the kids zipping down the hillside together. You can see all the snow!

Have a very Merry Christmas!
