Blizzard Part Deux

The wind is still whipping around pretty violently outside right now but the snow has stopped- thank goodness!  We have been plowed and shoveled out and we're keeping nice and warm with homemade cookies and yummy hot chocolate with marshmallows.  

Pat took the kids out to play in the snow this afternoon and they had a ton of fun, despite the frigid temperatures and blowing winds.  They made more snow angels, played on the giant piles of snow and even created a few snow slides for some winter fun!

SNOWFUN: Blizzard 2010

We're in the early hours of Blizzard 2010 right now and we're keeping warm and entertained.  The kids are in bed after a day of playing with new toys and watching movies all while wearing their PJs.  They were so excited to get out into the snow I decided that while our pizza baked I would throw them into their snowsuits really quickly and bring them outside!

We weren't outside for very long.  While the snow looks pretty, the wind and below freezing temperatures are not so pretty!  The kids made snow angels, threw a few snowballs, cleaned off daddy's car and discussed where they would build a snowman tomorrow!  I froze my butt off and took a few pictures.

Merry Christmas 2010!

Merry Christmas!

We hope that everyone had as wonderful and memory filled Christmas as we did!  The kids slept in, for a little bit, and then we headed downstairs to see if Santa had made a stop.  As you can see from the previous post, he most definitely did!  

Nicholas and Addison actually took their time opening presents and seeing what Santa had left for them.  There were points where we even had to tell them to keep unwrapping!!  They were both very happy and excited with all of the goodies that Santa had left for them and enjoyed playing with them for a bit before heading to Grandma and Pop-pop's.

The rest of our day was spent with family at Grandma and Pop-pop's house.  The kids were so excited to see that Santa had stopped there, too, and they were much more skilled at moving quite quickly through the presents that Santa had left there!

All in all it was a wonderful Christmas day filled with lots of love and joy and tons of food and fun!  It was great to watch Nicholas and Addison really enjoy the day and all that it is meant to be filled with!  We hope that your Christmas was just as great!

Merry Christmas!

Christmas Eve 2010

Merry Christmas Eve- although it's very very early Christmas morning as I write this!  At any rate, Merry Christmas!!

We spent Christmas Eve, as we always do, with Pat's family.  After heading to church and then doing a little Christmas lights viewing, we heading to grandpa's house to celebrate the holiday with him and Aunt Liz and Sue.  We had a wonderful time and the kids just loved spending time with their aunt and their grandpa!  Plus, they were quite spoiled by an early visit from Santa!!

We wanted to take this opportunity to wish each and every one of you and your families and very Merry and Blessed Christmas!  We hope that your day is filled with beautiful memories, wonderful family and friends, and lots of love and joy!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Santa has already arrived and now we're just waiting for that early morning wake up call!

Merry Christmas!

But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.  Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.

McGeary Christmas 2010

We headed out to my Aunt and Uncle's house today to celebrate Christmas a week early, as is the tradition in our family!

We had a really wonderful day full of family and fun and delicious food- namely, some unbelievable Filet Mignon!! 

It was wonderful watching the kids enjoy one another and run around and even go on a hay ride while the adults got to catch up and have fun!

Merry Christmas!!
