Christmas #1 - SNOWED IN!

Christmas #1 was up North at Don & Caroline's. Thank Heavens I was able to get my boss to let me take Christmas Eve morning off so that we could leave then to drive up. We took our time and arrived safely.

This was our car on Christmas day, and it kept coming after I took this picture. It was a LONG TIME digging the car out, and it took half the family in shifts, at least 6 shovels going, and a snow blower too.

Dave prepares to go shovel. I laughed hysterically as this made me think of Big Daddy when "Scuba Steve's Dad" comes to visit!?!?!? LOVED IT!

Uncle John and Aunt Kathy watch WD get started on a gift.

Aunt Kathy and Uncle John passed out after all the festivities.

The Cousins Kara (green), Christi (blue), Danielle (Black), and Anthony (6 weeks in white).

The guys just chillin. Dave w/ Buddy Too, Damon, and John.

WD hangs with (or on) Uncle John - watching everyone outside take turns shoveling the driveway out.

WD is ready for bed with Aunt Cindy and Christi trying to console him (and not doing too well).

Dinner is always a favorite time. After the kids are done, they leave while the adults sit, catch up, or reminisce. (L-R John, Kathy, Dave, Cindy, Bob & the back of Caroline).

A little fun before Christmas.

Just thought I'd share some fun photos before we head North for Christmas with the Kluvers this weekend. Then Next weekend South for Christmas w/ my folks. We've been pretty busy and poor WD has a double ear infection! I felt so guilty, but I guess that's how things go. All things considered he's really still been a wonderful baby and a blessing as always. Just wish I could make him feel better.
Going for a boat ride in the Christmas tree box.
Our sitter took a couple days off which ended up being the big blizzard, so Grandma Karyn came up (before it got bad) and stayed a few days to help out. WD and Grandma got pretty cozy.

Here WD demonstrates his nack for making trouble and for stacking things. (See the 3 glass-glasses stacked on top of one another - barely.)

Apparently WD got bored waiting for us to get him up one morning as this is how I found him. I think I interrupted shortly before he would have tried o get his diaper (a poopy one) off!
