Playing Outside

It's been so nice to have a break from work. A whole week off to enjoy with my family! WOOHOO! We've been playing like crazy - it's fun to have lots of new toys from Christmas and tons of time to do everything we want. Yesterday, we decided to play outside together. (Note: Ryan had a blue sucker right before playing outside. He isn't really that cold.)

Christmas Morning 2009

Christmas Eve dumped over a foot of snow on Omaha. Normally, this would be a wonderful thing for a beautiful white Christmas, except for the fact that I was at the hospital when it happened and Omaha has not been very proactive about keeping the roads clear. Luckily, the resident that was on call on Christmas let me leave early so I could get home. It took over an hour and a lot of praying and some helpful neighbors, but I made it home for Christmas.

Our deck is now nearly completely buried


Amy hung sheets in the entryways so the kids couldn't see what Santa had brought until I got home from work


Luckily, Santa did come, ate his treats, and left a note and some presents!
