White Christmas 2010!

It SNOWED on Christmas day (2010!)... which probably only happens every few 100 years in GEORGIA ... but we were so excited - and it really did make it SO magical! Here are a few of my favorite shots in the SNOW of our family!

Handsome little Micah watching the snowflakes fall!

 

 Triking in the snow and "cutting" the snow-y grass!

 

Look at these smiles!

 Micah sledding on a cardboard box!

 So cute as Benjamin looks on - at Jonathan sledding Micah down our little hill!

 Rachel with the boys in as it was snowing outside Christmas Evening!

Snowball Fight time!

Love these two little guys!

 Benjamin LOVES catching snowflakes on his tongue!

 Now THAT was Christmas!

Christmas 2010 and More...

A Christmas to REMEMBER!!

I was FINALLY better from getting sick after our trip to Utah!  

We were able to squeeze in making cookies for Santa - and the boys enjoyed helping decorate them!  Here are two of the cookies Benjamin chose to leave for Santa!

 

 What our living room looked like Christmas morning after Santa came!

 LOVE LOVE this picture and especially Benjamin's face ... the wonder and excitement are waiting just around the other side of the tree!

 And now ... all he's been waiting for... hand in hand with Micah!

We did have a fun little CHRISTMAS fire...

Our family picture on Christmas Evening!

My parents and Laura braved the SNOW storm and drove up to spend a few hours with us!  Here is Laura playing the new HUNGRY HIPPOS game!

The boys and I with my parents and Laura!  I for surely have a little guy in my tummy too!

Christmas is so fun - but most of all we are grateful for the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ!  Glad we were able to share some of the day with family ... and the whole day with our little (and growing!) family! 

December Trip to Utah!

Here are a few quick pictures from our little vacation to Utah in December! It was fun to see friends and family, go to the BYU basketball game and see the lights on Temple Square! The only downside was that Benjamin got a stomach bug ... and then passed it to our friends and me ... thankfully I made it home before it hit me though! We love our dear friends the Heidemans who put us up even with a sick kiddo!

Micah on the plane...

Jonathan watched our kids so I could go to see the "Music and the Spoken Word" performance by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra!

Headed home... the boys watching the planes at the SLC Airport!

A little Christmas...

I know... so LATE - but I've got to get caught up before the baby gets here... Here's a little Christmas! A true "love" for Santa!

We had an awesome time at the Christmas tree farm ... a little brotherly love!

Jonathan stopped by for a quick minute to put our tree on the car before heading out on a youth Temple trip!

Benjamin's T-ball Team!

Benjamin's t-ball team had a little party at Stevi B's! Here are Benjamin and Jonathan with their trophies! I love that Jonathan has his at work!

This was about half of the team!

Here's Benjamin getting his trophy!

We'll see if he plays this spring...
