MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!


We hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas! We definately did! I love sleeping out by the tree on Christmas eve so we slept on the couch. It was so windy and snowy that when we woke up the power was out. I wished for a white christmas, which we got, but the consequences of it meant that we didn't have christmas tree lights or christmas music while we opened our presents. But, it was ok. I love the snow!! So we opened our gifts after we woke up. We both got some good stuff. Even little Koda had a good christmas. Jer's mom made him a little blanket for christmas because he chews on the corners of ours.
We got him some bacon bones and chew toys. He chewed through one of his bacon flavored bones within two hours!! He loved it. And he played with his new toys all day. This is Koda and his presents. He looks really funny in this picture...but it's the best I could do. He doesn't hold still for very long.
This mirror hanging in my dining room was my christmas present to myself. Jer also got a big took chest to put in the garage.


After we opened presents our power decided it would come on, which was good so I could actually get ready. So we went to Jer's parents to talk to his little brother who is on a mission in Philly right now (he gets home in march). So we ate breakfast and then decided to go play in the snow. Jer's parents had so much in their back yard so we thought it would be fun. We bundled up and headed out... We made a snowmand that was really tall, at least 10 feet if not more...
This was the bottom...



This was the middle....


Thats how tall it was without the head...



This is the head that me and my Mother in law, Becky was trying to push. It was pretty heavy but we are tough!!
And this is Jeremy...I apparently didn't get a pic of the whole snowman after it was finished but by the time we were eating dinner, the whole face had pretty much fallen off and then went the head which took out an arm on the way down. So he is now a decapitated amputee snowman.





My poor puppy had snowballs just stuck to him EVERYWHERE! It took forever to get them off of him. He could hardley even walk but he didn't want to stay inside. He absolutely loved the snow.

We went to Jer's grandparents house as usual to see the whole fam which is always fun.


We had a very good christmas. We made the best of the snow and bad weather and it was a blast!

Koda is sooo cute!!!!

When Riddick gets covered in snow like that, the only way we can get it off is by putting him in a tub of water. I'm always afraid he's goingely to get hypothermia!!

Oh my gosh, that snowman is hilarious! I can't believe you rigged up a ramp and everything to help with the construction!

sounds like a good old fashioned Atkinson Christmas, almost made me want to leave Mexico and come home (almost) the family photo is great too (we miss having Jed Fred around)(to walk Norah)
