Meals on Wheels

Every Friday Stuart and his buddy Lee do Meals on Wheels. They know their route and clients well and occasionally sub on another day. Tuesday Meals on Wheels needed a substitute and Stuart took us with him. The kids loved helping carry the meals and the clients really enjoyed seeing the kids. It was a rewarding experience for us to participate as a family. We look forward to helping Stuart again when school gets out.

Cinnamon Marshmallow Doughnuts

Probably not the healthiest breakfast but a fun treat after both kids got great reports from the dentist (minus Mom's report to start saving for the Orthodontist for two thumb suckers!)

We got home a made another fun Pinterest recipe!

Christmas Morning

Merry Christmas! We woke up to 36 hours of straight snowfall.

Santa was hungry!

Did you say Santa came?!

Merry Christmas 2011

Christmas Afternoon

After church we headed to Mimi and Pop's for a Christmas feast! How blessed are we to have a so much.

After lunch we opened presents.

The kids watched as the snow began to melt.

We came home and took down all our Christmas decorations! Yep, when its over, its over.

The kids enjoyed their gifts.

Sweet almost 4 year old

Headed to bed! What an incredible Christmas! We are so blessed!

Christmas Eve

We woke up Christmas Eve to lots and lots of snow! It was definitely a white Christmas. Very cliche but beautiful and festive!

The kids woke up excited and we made homemade pancakes for breakfast!

I baked all day while watching the snow fall and listening to Christmas Carols! I baked homemade rolls, a chili rellano casserole, loaded mashed potato casserole, squash casserole, and pumpkin pie. This was only part of our Christmas Day feast (Mimi did the rest!)

We headed out to church around 4:00pm. The Family Candlelight Service didn't start until 5:30pm but we got there early to get seats. Despite the weather, church was packed and it was beautiful. I loved being surrounded by my friends and family celebrating Christmas.

We left church and it was really snowing! It was just incredible!

We headed down the street to Wall Street for dinner (I made reservations a month ago!)

It was really snowing but we drove around and looked at Christmas lights before heading home.

We put out our cookies and milk for Santa.

Sprinkled on some reindeer food

And it was off to bed with hopes that Santa would come!
