Wonderful Christmas

Christmas Eve Aaron in his new Toy Story PJ's

Sammie and her new riding toy! Boy was she excited!Christmas Morning cuties!

After a Christmas morning full of presents and cinnamon rolls the kids played till they were too tired and naps called out to them. After naps we went to my parents house for a nice dinner and more presents! Aaron got a Colts football helmet that thrilled him! It was so nice sharing the day with family.

My side of the family

The day after Christmas Jeremy's whole family came over for more food more fun and more presents! Aaron was so excited he didn't even take a nap. In the afternoon we all went bowling.

It was a very Merry Christmas. I can't believe it's already over. I already talked our garbage man into taking our Christmas Tree.

So onto New Years!

The Vance family of 4 had a very merry Christmas!

Chilly Willy

We woke up to snow today. And not just any snow. The kind of snow that is perfect for making a snowman. Jeremy and Aaron named him Chilly Willy.

Aaron did a great job helping roll 3 BIG snowballs for his first big snowman. He wanted him to talk like Frosty!

It was a fun snowy Saturday morning. Sammie enjoyed watching Willy being built. She kept saying "ball, ball" over and over.

Daddy's Shoes

After coming home from the library and lunch with Grandpa, Aaron decided he wanted to walk around in daddy's shoes. He was proud of himself for getting them on and walked around the house giggling and saying "I'm wearing daddy's shoes." Notice his Colts jersey in honor of tonights game! Go Colts!

Samantha and Aaron now chase each other around the house. She loves the freedom of being able to walk without assistance!

First Snow!

Aaron has been talking about playing football in the snow for a few months now and today he got his chance! He was on cloud 9 as I put on his new Spiderman boots and snowpants. He had his football tee in one hand and football in the other. He kept jumping up and down with excitement until I opened the door.

Sammie wasn't too sure about the snow at first but once Aaron shared a little with her to taste she didn't want to go in and wanted to follow Aaron around as he marched around while I sang "Frosty the Snowman" (his new favorite show).

We ended up going outside 3 times today and even built a little snowman. When Jeremy arrived home we were waiting by the driveway to throw snowballs at his car. Aaron thought it was great!

I sure love my family!
