Santa was a little
too good to us at our house this year!! The boys received so many presents we do not have a place to put them all!! We had several wonderful Christmas celebrations with family and everything went by in a blur. I just thought I would post some pics from Christmas morning.

The weather outside is frightful
and there is not a fire at our house. Actually the weather is not that bad, and we did not lose our electricity. Which I feel very blessed about. The boys were absolutely thrilled that they got to go outside and play in the snow this morning.
I do not know exactly what they were doing out there (way to cold for me to go out) but they had only been out about five seconds and they looked like they had been doing somersaults!!
When they get cold they have to come in and warm up. They are "freezing" you know!! Then they are ready to go back out in five minutes. All they do is get bundled up and then undbundled again!! (this picture is from last weekend when there was not any snow, just really cold and they still play outside in it!!)
Poor Ben does not get to go out in the snow, he just gets to sit at the window and watch with mommy. Of course, here he is trying his first french fry. (and I think he likes it even if his face does not show it.)
And of course the older two see that I have the camera out and have to come and act like little squirrels. Ben never gets any peace in his life.

Sunday School Class Party
So, I know that I have not posted in forever, but it seems to me like my mother always beats me to everything (Christmas programs, etc). Our Sunday school class had our Christmas party at Chad and Michelle Hutton's house last Saturday (thanks again for hosting guys) and we had an ugly sweater contest. Not that many people participated but those who did had some pretty ugly sweaters. I have to say that Chad's may have taken the cake. Of course it was his dad's Laverne coaching sweater from 1960 (I am just really impressed Chad could wear it).
Brent's did not seem that bad, but he swore Hilary bought it at a Thrift Store (yeah, right Brent we know you wore this to work last week!!)
My terrible picture taking abilities do not do this picture justice!!

Ben is doing great
after getting his tubes put in. Things went smoothly. Except maybe for the fact that the lights went out at the hospital while Ben was still back in surgery!! We knew he was finished but we had not gotten to see him yet, and the electricity was only off for a minute or two. But still it is kinda freaky. Anyway, Ben was a hit with all of the nurses and we were home and happy by 10:00 AM. Thanks for your prayers.
