Stockings are hung and ready for Santa
We stayed at Grandpa and Grandma Nielson's house with my brother Eric and his wife Melissa. Here the cousins are playing instruments and singing "Feliz Navidad."
Lilly and Ella are cute cousins. We are excited to hear if the next will be a boy or girl!!
What a beautiful Christmas dinner! We had soooo much food.
Let's eat!
Seth received awards at school for attendance and all As. We are just happy that he seems to be happy, if that makes sense.
For the class Party they had a snowball fight with cotton balls. They loved getting Mrs. Asay.
Here I am helping with the party and pouring hot chocolate.
The kids coming down the stairs Christmas morning.
Violet riding a really cute horsey (her cousin Ella's).
It snowed in Vegas and school was cancelled the next day! Wow! It was a beautiful Christmas gift. Seriously it was a bit of a downer Christmas for many families in Vegas (and the nation) with so many lost jobs and tight budgets...this made for a wonderful and beautiful memory. I love how when everything is covered in snow, especially when it it still snowing, the world becomes still and quiet. The snow muffles sounds, even traffic. I was driving home in the snow and saw cars around me sliding. When I slid for the second time (while creeping slowly), I pulled over and walked home! It was fun!
Just a dang cute picture to close with. It was a magical Christmas for us this year.
