Christmas Day!

Christmas morning this little guy waited very patiently on the stairs for us to deliver his little sister:

Trent carried her through the living room (covering her eyes) to the stairs so they could come down together:

But not before morning hugs! Someone was not quite awake yet:

Santa came and delivered exactly what they asked for!

We took a break for breakfast. Yummy, homemade cinnamon rolls!

This is one of my all-time favorite pictures now:

After lunch we got the best gift of all….SNOW!!!!!

Snow makes my heart happy.  It makes my sweet boy happy too (and my sweet girl, but from a distance…she is not a big fan of the cold):

We didn’t get much, but enough to call it a White Christmas!!! It was the first time in my life that it has snowed ON Christmas.  My kids are going to think we get snow like this all the time…little do they know. :)

We had a Mexican feast this year for our Christmas meal (Trent cooked his big meal for Christmas eve). This is definitely our new tradition! Yum!

Hud and I took frequent breaks to check on the snow:

After waking up from another long nap, Harper rested on the couch. Sweet baby was still not feeling like herself:

The boys enjoyed some legos:

After baths, we jammied up and headed out to look at some lights:

Despite Harper’s illness, it was a wonderful, peaceful, beautiful celebration of our Savior’s birth. :)
