December 2009

The first snow of the season arrived December 2nd, and we were all very excited. The snow was so pretty, but it was gone before we were even out of school for the day.


These pictures were taken 12/23/09 - it was 77 degrees that day, so we took the dogs and the bikes out for a spin!


Mark and I went to Wal-Mart the day after Thanksgiving and bought this bike for Jacob for $29. That was our best buy of the day. We decided not to wait until Christmas to give it to him because his other bike had loose handlebars. He was so happy!


The very next day was really cold - much different than our bike riding day. On Christmas Eve it started snowing, and we had a beautiful white Christmas. The kids like to open a few presents on Christmas Eve, so they got to open the presents that they got for each other. So, here are a few pictures from Christmas Eve.






Christmas morning fun took place very early with Haleigh and Jacob waking us up around 6:30. This was by far the funnest Christmas - Jacob was a spaz - he was over the top with excitement!





Once it warmed up a bit on Christmas Day, we went outside for some snow day fun!











Now, if you have made it this far...you get a real treat. This is the love of my life. I am still wondering what made me fall in love with him!

Well, we had a fun end to a fun year. Hope everyone has a happy new year!

Enjoyed the update, Melissa! And I checked out the new blog as well. Best of luck on your new diet. I'll be happy to hear how to do with that. I need a new program as well.

With a picture like the last one, I think it's obvious why you fell for Mark. He is a fashion statement.
