Let It Snow

Our first snow storm of the season just so happen to hit the weekend that we were celebrating Christmas with Granna and Papaw. I am such a sucker for snow...the anticipation is the best part! It started snowing pretty hard by early afternoon and we had quite a few inches by the time we went to spend "Christmas Eve" with family. Somehow snow just makes it feel more like Christmas!

Ava Ryan watching the snow as it began to fall- she kept saying, "It's getting deeper!"I finished up my last bit of wrapping while the white stuff poured out of the sky. This is a present wrapped with homemade wrapping paper! It was a "Sheldon Shirt" from the show The Big Bang Theory, which I am totally enthralled in right now! So, I figured I had a little time on my hands I would just make a Sheldon Quotes wrapping paper...it was a big hit!

Our newest Christmas addition- I was pregnant with her last year and no one knew it!

Christmas morning we braved the snow once again and went to have breakfast with everyone. My mom made us all wear silly Christmas hats and antlers for a game.

Everyone posing for a Christmas morning picture...I think I got the raw end of the deal...the way that the camera was positioned made me look like a GIANT and everyone else looks small!!

Matt must have drawn the short stick! I was all cozy inside with my hot chocolate and camera while he braved the elements!

Such fun Christmas pictures! I love all the monogrammed stuff--especially Berkley's bumm! :) And btw, you could NEVER look like a giant! :) You do look really great however!
