Here is Heston playing Cannon's DS. Santa had to make a last minute exchange to make this 3 year old a happy camper this Christmas. Santa had originally gotten him a Leapster Game System, but once he found his cousin's DS...there was NO getting around Santa getting him one too. Needless to say, he LOVES it.
We had a white Christmas!! It started snowing in the wee hours of Christmas morning. Jon and I had our kids at our house for Santa to come. Josh woke up first and once we saw the snow really coming down, we decided if we were to get to mom and dad's we needed to get the little ones up and start getting ready to leave. We woke up about 6:15 and by 8:15 had "had" Christmas from Santa and were heading to moms. We made it to the Ridge safe and started up when we went around the first curve we knew we wouldn't make it up. SOOOO we called mom and she said that dad (who was on his way to work) was stuck coming down and Travis was on his way to help him. So we waited on Travis (who has a 4 wheel drive) to come rescue us. He could not get dad out and dad had to call a tow truck... finally about noon we had all made it to moms house and had 5" of snow...Josh built a snow man and Jon and Josh threw snow balls at each other and Callie was in heaven...she loves the snow. We then had the kids unwrap their gifts and then us adults unwrapped ours and we got done about 4...YES 4 hours of opening gifts....it was unbelievable -- we even had gifts we waited to open til later because it was just so much. The only thing that had been accidently thrown away and later retrieved from the "bow bag" were some earrings for Katelyn from Travis and Deb. We searched and searched and in the last bag we found them. Thank Goodness. I will post more pictures and more stories in the coming days, but for now this will have to do. We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!!
