MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given. Happy Birthday, Jesus!

That's about as far as we got into the service before one of us, who shall remain unnamed (re: not Rob...not me) decided to take off running out of the church and down the hall screaming.

I'm sure Jesus understands. We'll try again next year. :-)

I'm sure I'll catch all kinds of crap for dressing her like this in about 12 years when she sees this, but we think she's the cutest little Christmas girl ever.

Merry Christmas!

Snow Day Updates!

Anna and I have severe cabin fever so off we went to play with Pierce and Stacy Adams. We tried like a zillion stores looking for sleds before my boss finally told me his wife heard on the news they're recommending laundry baskets tied with string. Sounds cheesy, but I think we're not even going to buy a sled this year. Laundry baskets were flipping awesome. I didn't get any pictures of the kids in them because I was busy with Anna yelling "PULL!" at me. We had a great time!

Snow storm of the century!

Oh My. So...there isn't too much I can say that you haven't already seen on the news. (Worst snow storm in 71 years), so I am adding pictures instead.

Here's Rob shoveling our steps for what I think was the 4th time yesterday!

We took Anna out for a little while, but the snow was coming down sideways so we came back in...she wasn't happy about that and kept trying to put her boots on to go out with Dad. (This made me feel awful!)

Today we woke up and the sun is shining. But here's the aftermath of yesterday's insanity. (Rob just dug out my truck AGAIN).

To give you people way down south an idea of just how much snow we got, here's my lovely assistant, Anna, standing in front of our deck. She's 33 inches tall.

The Christmas Tree

Our tree is up. It's somewhere in between the one found in Time Square and Charlie Brown's Christmas Tree...Still...Good luck finding something cuter than this....

Grandma Visit...baby Barrett

I'm running late on the posts (as usual) and I have more where these came from...we'll get there. Anyway, Rob's mom came to visit last weekend after Thanksgiving and I didn't get a chance to post pictures until today. Anna had a great time visiting with her Grandma :-)

And Anna got to meet her newest "little cousin" Barrett Poulos. She was even allowed to hold Barrett (with some help from his Mommy, Sarah and his Grandpa). Now every time we see a baby, Anna walks up and says "BABY!" and holds her arms out expectantly. She's going to be a great baby sitter one day....

That's it for now. Stay tuned for pictures of our Christmas tree (you had to know that was up by now...)
