Another Snow Day!

After a full night of precipitation, we woke up to beautiful, fluffy snow.



Joseph even got to stay home! Joseph, AJ, and I went out to play. The snow was a little too soft for snowmen but it was still lots of fun!






BONUS: I took pictures this time!

New Laptop!

Joseph came home with 2 new laptops today... and one was for me! I'm super excited about it!

Christmas

So these post will be a little out of order. Oh, well...

Christmas was splendid! We woke up at 6:30. I nursed Colleen while AJ watched Curious George until Joseph got things together (put the bike out). When AJ FINALLY noticed the bike and the presents she got really excited. Santa was very good to her. And me. I got a Shark steam mop, spring form pans (can't wait to make cheesecake!), and the Zumba Wii game will be acquired whenever we can find it. Santa finally brought our family a dual screen DVD player for the car, too. It will definitely make those trips to VA much easier. Breakfast was provided by Waffle House carry out.
We visited Joseph's family Christmas Eve and day. We ate so much great food! The desserts were ridiculous! I must brag, after gaining about 5 pounds last year (to my credit, I was newly pregnant), I haven't gained a single pound this year! It's shocking considering all the coconut cake I've eaten!
Next weekend we head to VA to visit my family. I can't wait! They haven't seen Colleen since she was born. Plus, we get to hold on to Christmas a little while longer...


Christmas pictures to follow.

SNOW

Rock Hill actually saw snow today! A steady falling of the white stuff came down over the night and covered the ground. Four or five inches accumulated making the most picturesque landscape. After a little after-Christmas-shopping, the snow hadn't melted too much so AJ could still get in some good playtime. While I made chili beans and cornbread, Joseph obliged Little Bug with snow angels and a drag around the yard in a big plastic toy tub from the back porch. She had a ball! As previously mentioned, I'm a slacker, so no pictures were taken... maybe, if there is any snow left, I'll take some pictures tomorrow.

Happy Birthday Joseph!

Joseph turned 26 yesterday! Happy Birthday, darlin'! We had a little family get-together today at our house. I spent the whole day cleaning and making his cake but the effort was worth it. We had a great time talking and playing the Wii. And the cake and ice cream wasn't bad either!
Now it's time to crack down and get AJ's Halloween costume ready for Sunday. Busy, busy, busy!
