happy about their new Christmas jammies
Rachel is REALLY excited for Santa.

On Saturday we went out to the tree farm and picked out my first real Christmas tree. I was so excited. We have it up at the house and I look forward to lighting it this weekend. Mom even said she'd make some new ornaments for me. Oh the joy of the season!
We got dumped with snow over the past two days. As of the 5 o'clock news we picked up 15.5 inches in town here and 17 inches at the airport where Chuck will have to shovel out when he gets home tomorrow night. I called someone to plow the driveway and he left without getting paid. Nice guy or just a long day? I'll have to follow up. Anyway the tempuratures are dropping fast. We'll have wind chills of -20 to -25 tonight. I'm very thankful that I have a nice warm house.

Rachel played Legos...
and watched Christmas videos...
and played with her baby dolls.
Julia nursed, sucked her thumb and napped the day away.
I just finished uploading a ton of old pictures to Flickr and I thought I'd share some highlights.
