We had a white Christmas! Snow here in Wisnton Salem is rare, especially this much snow. (I'm told that the last white Christmas was in 1947.) The boys were ecstatic and I was surprisingly happy as well. Kyle and Sean were out in the snow for three days straight, sledding until there was nothing but grass!
After Christmas sledding, Kyle wanted to build a snowman, but Sean had had enough! We compromised and built a quick, mini-snowman. As you can see, Sean wasn't thrilled.
Kyle and I continued our annual tradition of gingerbread house making and Marc and Sean helped us with the tradition of gingerbread house eating.
Kyle sang with the cub scouts at our church talent show. Here is a horribly shaky video of the performance which keeps cutting off the boys' heads. (Their Cub Scout leader's car broke down so she wasn't there and I was attempting to record the performance, help the boys remember their lines and hold a wriggly 18 month old in my lap, all at the same time!) Nonetheless, it's pretty funny and Kyle's part is done within the first 30 seconds.
Finally, I leave you with this peaceful picture of our Christmas tree on Christmas morning. I took it right before the boys came down to open their presents - the calm before the storm.
I hope you had an enjoyable 2010 holiday season and wish you all the best in the New Year!
