Mommin' It Up since 2004!
I haven’t been participating in Weekly Winners much recently because, well…let me tell you a secret: I cannot take good pictures INDOORS. But luckily this week with the snow, we had an excuse to get outside so I got some good pics!
Did I mention we also had ice with our snow?
Sophie was less than impressed by the snow.
Joshua, however, was thrilled!
We had a great time, but I am looking forward to it melting now! For more Weekly Winners, go visit Lotus at Sarcastic Mom.
We had a really fun Christmas Day. We started out with presents at our house and then Bobby made us a pancake breakfast! Mmm Mmm! Then, we went to my paternal grandparents’ house for lunch and then my maternal grandmother’s for dinner. Even though it was the first time I didn’t get to see Emily (loser!) on Christmas Day in pretty much, FOREVER, I still managed to have a jolly time. Here are the highlights!

They were having a ball playing together! It was really cute.

My FAVORITE part of this Christmas was that there was a beautiful RAINBOW (even though there was no rain) in the sky in the late afternoon! We saw it when we were driving from one grandma’s to the other and we stopped to take some pictures. When we got to my maternal Grandma’s, it was still in the sky literally across the street from her house. So I took some MORE pics. I took a ton, but these two were my favorite.
I just felt like this rainbow was a special gift from God, reminding me to remember that Christmas is really all about the birth of His Son, and the promise He made to provide a Savior for His people.
I hope you all had a beautiful Christmas! For more great pics, check out the Weekly Winners HQ at Sarcastic Mom.
This weekend we have been celebrating Christmas with my husband’s family. We are all spread out in geography so each year we meet at his sister’s house (about an hour from ours) a couple of weeks before Christmas to spend the weekend together. We have more celebrating to do today, but here are some of my photos from yesterday!
