3rd Christmas

Christmas Day in the afternoon we drove over to my parent's house. I was a bit worried we weren't going to make it because of the weather, but, once again, they made the storm out to be worse than it actually was. It was warmer than expected, so the roads were perfectly clear. Both my siblings and their spouses were home for Christmas this year, which was such a treat! It's been a year since we've all been together, so it was great to spend 5 days with them. I don't think I changed a single diaper the whole time we were there! We brought the Wii over and had fun trying out the different games. It was a little too cold to do much outside, and the snow was really icy. We did play in the backyard a bit one day. Mostly we just hung out and enjoyed being together. However, we did stay up late every night and slept in every morning. One morning Jocelyn didn't wake up until 9:45! So, tomorrow is going to be a rude awakening when the alarm goes off at 6:00!

Brian works at Boeing, and they got Jocelyn this cool shape sorter, remote control airplane! I don't know if she gets that pushing the button makes the plane go, but she just likes to hear it talk.

My sister-in-law, Katie, paints, and she did this one for my Mom for Christmas. Isn't it beautiful? It goes perfectly in their basement, and Mom absolutely loved it.

Kailee brought her Nerf gun over, and luckily Brian still had a bunch of his old ones, so they had a Nerf war. I'm not sure who won, but I have a feeling it was the boys....

Mom and Brian playing the Wii - we laughed a whole bunch this weekend!

On Christmas Eve (before we were there) everyone went outside and made a snow-reindeer! Isn't it good? I was impressed. The dogs weren't too sure about it!

Jocelyn loved playing in the snow!

She really loved being pulled around the yard in the sled. She just laid there and smiled!

Jonathan sledding down the stairs...looks like a Funniest Home Videos skit, but luckily no one was hurt.

Playing in the slide with Uncle Brian

She loves the slide, and can go up and down all by herself now!

She can also blow her nose by herself (kinda) as we still have our colds - there's been a lot of nose-blowing!
