I always look out at the bird house to see how much snow we are getting. The snow was higher the next day.
On Christmas eve we went ice skating with our friends, the Lanes. Below is a picture of the girls with Erica.
On Tuesday evening we went to our church for an awesome Christmas service. The music was awesome. We met up with our friends, the Drakes, for coffee and tea beforehand. It was great to catch up with them. Christmas Eve we went to this little Congregational church here in town for their candlelight service. We started going there when we first moved to NH and keep going every year. It is a small, old, white church in the center of town. Very quaint and New Englandish.
Before the girls headed to bed Todd, as he does every year, read the girls The Night Before Christmas and The Grinch.

The girls were up by 7:30 Christmas morning. I have to say that is the earliest they have ever been up on Christmas. We were downstairs opening up presents by 8am. They came down and were very excited to see Santa came during the night.
Below the girls are opening their new computer. Their very own to play webkinz and school work, etc.
We had a short visit from Jim and Luke. It was fun to see Luke open his present from us. And we were able to wish Uncle Jamie a Happy Birthday in person this year!! 
The rest of the day we hung out playing games, eating and stayed in our pj's until we went for a walk right before dinner. It was a good day.
Since then we have been doing some work around the house. Cleaning, purging, organizing. We hope to start pulling down MORE wallpaper today!!

The weather was warm yesterday and the snow is melting!! The girls and I took a short bike ride yesterday and a long walk as it was about 60 degrees out. Today it is colder but the sun is shining brightly!! The girls are bummed the snow is melting. Eleven more weeks until Spring....I am counting down.
I will leave you with a couple pics of the cats on Christmas morning! Happy New Year!!!
Roscoe was in the thick of things. But Bailey just wanted out on the porch. He wanted to get the heck out of there.
Please let me out!!!

Hey Gretchen, looks like you guys had a great Christmas, I can't believe that 7:30 is the earliest your kids ever woke up, that's wild. I can't remember the earliest mine woke up , but I do know that it was probably 5:30 or 6ish.So you're lucky! Oh sorry about all that snow, it's been pretty warm here, we even took a boat ride yesterday!!
It looks like you guys had a great Christmas. You got as much snow as we did on Christmas. You might as well move up here. Enjoy it before it melts. :0) Have a very Happy New Year!
