Happy Holidays

We had a white Christmas! First one I've ever had. Really, it's not that much snow, but hey! As long as it snows, I'm happy. We had a lot of fun playing in it.




A few days later after the first snow, it snowed a second time! Now that was amazing. I didn't think it was going to stick because it was raining right before it, but it did. I think it was a little more than the first snow. We made popcorn balls, too. It's always a lot of fun. :)


That's a freaky shot of me.

(We made green popcorn balls, too. You just can't see them.)



Christmas Eve and Christmas was fun, but really different, because Ashley was the only one who came home. Our house was empty. Christmas just snuck up on me and left just like that. On Christmas Eve we did our usual traditions, and, as always, we had a great time. Ashley, Cody, and I played our instruments. Ash on the French horn, Cody on the trombone, and me on the flute. Cody was drowning both of us out because his instrument's so loud. Especially on Frosty the Snowman, I think Cody was excited to play his part, because sometimes, I could barely hear myself while I played. Now good ol' Ashley was trying not to drown me out so we could hear myself, so Cody got to overpower both of us with his loudness. On the chimes, we messed up a lot on certain songs, but it was funny. Sometimes Dad or Cody would miss the chime and accidentally hit their leg, so instead of hearing a pretty note, we heard a thump and then laughter filled the room. Then, Mom read Peeky the Curious Elf and The Polar Express.



These are the jamies I opened on Christmas Eve.

What a pretty tree

Merry Christmas and a happy new year! 2010! :o
