Snow finally hit around here! I don't drive in it (no 4WD or snow tires on the minivan!) so we were stuck for over a week! Thankfully we picked up a snowsuit and boots for Scotty a week or so before, and a sled last winter after the one snow we had. This snowstorm was pretty crazy. Lots of people around us were without power for days (thankfully we never lost power). We had freezing rain on top of the snow. I am horrible with measurements, but I'll go out on a limb and say we had maybe 6 inches at our house? I know people that had 12 inches or more (my dad!). Thankfully I had done all my grocery shopping Thursday, the storm hit Sunday and we just hunkered down. Scotty LOVED the snow

I hope you enjoyed the Holidays! We had 4 days full of get-togethers...and that's not counting the week or two of prep beforehand! Needless to say, I'm ready for a vacation!
It started on Friday with the Christmas Boat. Then Saturday we had Christmas Eve with my Mom's side of the family at my sisters...then home to do dinner with my brother in law. Sunday was Christmas morning just us, then afternoon at my sisters to celebrate with my dad's side. Monday was brunch with my husband's biological family...the most fun and I forgot to take pictures!
Happy Holidays! I've been hanging with these two cute kiddos for the past few weeks on Monday/Tuesday...then frantically trying to cram in all the holiday festivities and baking! This week we have something planned EVERY SINGLE DAY! The holidays are pure craziness around here...but these two make it so much fun! Scotty is finally into Christmas and Ila is just a nut and loves everything that Scotty does
Hope you are ready for the holidays, they're fast approaching whether we're ready or not!
I asked Scotty if I could take his picture for our Christmas letter a few days ago...and he picked a zillion different places to pose! I love it
Happy Holidays!

You know what's super exciting in our family? Your first visit from your Christmas elf! Scotty was visited by his elf Pretzle Swizzle Toes the Third (my sisters are the absolute best, they came up with the name, wrote the first letter AND left him a surprise!). Pretzle works in the puzzle department, hence the puzzle below. Scotty is in heaven and LOVING writing to his elf and finding little surprises! This Christmas is going to be the best...he's finally got his elf and is getting excited about everything!

This was our last family picture...Scotty was 18 months, we were still living at our old house, hubby was a few years out from the wheelchair. I'd say we need to pull out a camera and take a picture of the three of us together, wouldn't you?
