Winter Holiday

I wanted to take a few moments to thank everyone for their cards and gifts for Christmas. It was our first away from family and friends. We did the web cam thing with my family again on Christmas Eve and got to watch the girls open their gifts. It made things a lot easier!! All in all we had a really good Christmas. The kids got one of their gifts a few days early...it would of been pretty hard to hide him. We adopted a new family member of the four legged kind. He is a lab/hound mix and has the markings of a cow..not kidding!(Hey BB and Mrs. Lehane... maybe he is my good luck for the year of the cow!! HE HE!) He is black and white, and the biggest sweety! His name was "Jelly"...we just couldn't keep that and it took a few days but have came up with "Bailey". He responds very well to it and is already very spoiled! I will try to post a few pic later!!
It snowed all day Christmas day and finally stopped the next evening. It has cleared up and we now have sunny skies, but that brings on the colder temps. We are right now at -13 and have a high of -3 for today!!How do you say "BBBRRRRR!!"?

I miss having a dog for the kids. We just got them a turtle. That is neat that he has the cow markings. You are starting the new year off right! Have a great New Year and stay warm.

He is so cute!! It would be a lot of fun to dress him up for Halloween...all he needs is a set of horns:). I am glad you had a good Christmas. We feel like big weenies because it finally got into the lower 60s here and we are bundled up in sweatshirts like we are freezing :). BTW...we love what A did with the pictures. Beautiful!!! Miss you guys so much.
