Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow....

For the first time in as long as I can remember the Falls had a white Christmas! I wanted a little snow for Knox's first Christmas but Santa went a little overboard and we got almost a foot! It was so much fun! Uncle Thomas had to be our personal driver for a few days since the car was snowed in but we had so much fun being with everyone and LOVED playing in the snow. Knox was thrilled to finally meet his cousins Gracie and Caroline. The boys plus Andrew and Brendan built a snow blob/slide in our front yard. It started out as me telling them they should build the biggest snowman ever and then it evolved into a huge slide that looked kind of like a dragon or Loch Ness Monster. It was pretty classy let me tell you, we had the pool raft out in front to slide on and since we don't exactly have the tools for "snow molding" we used a pooper scooper to make the steps along with small shovels and dust pans. At one point Dad tied a rope to one of the pool floats and was pulling Gracie around the front yard. Seriously, we make the Grizwalds look as sophisticated as the royal family.

Christmas was a whirlwind...we started out Christmas Eve at Nonnie's annual party and then Christmas Day was a marathon. We started at Mom and Dad's then headed to Nonnies for presents and lunch then went over to Gangan's for presents and dinner....lets just say we were good and full by the end of the day!
