Christmas

We tried to get the "perfect" family picture, but after 5 minutes of torture, I decided this is as good as it gets as well as the picture describes who we are! Like most who got hit by the christmas blizzard, our christmas was a little unusal. We got "snowed" in at Grandma's house in hopes that David would be able to sneak away from his job to see us. David did manage to sneak away on Wednesday and Thursday, but the blizzard kept him pretty busy! On Thursday we opened presents...the favorite presents had to be: Memphis's drum and guitar, Julia's furniture for her doll house and Gage's horse!

Julia got a little upset that the boy's kept getting cars to drive and she was getting "girly" things, so Grandma dug in her treasures and found a car for her to open. She was tickled pink! On Saturday Grandpa dug us out and we got to visit with the VZ cousin's for a little party. Julia slept thru most of it, but eventually woke up to join the fun!
To help keep us entertained we built tents, made cookies, played playdough and played with marbles. On Sunday, Grandma and Grandpa took all 3 kids to church while Mommy took a much needed nap! Julia had on her beautiful christmas dress but didn't want her picture taken. however, a little later, with a little bribing, she was happy to cooperate
and on Monday, when I dressed the boys in their new clothes, Gage declares that his clothes smell like "K-Mart smart" clothes!
