A Snowy Day!
Well, I did ask for a White Christmas this year...even though it was a day late!
As a child, when it would snow, my dad use to take me and my sister to this little old country store up the street from our first house in Jackson. When we finally got to the country store we would sit around a fire and wait for our clothes to dry just so we could walk back. I am pretty sure we would drink hot chocolate when we got there...but that could all be in my imagination. I was dropped on my head as a child (no lie!!) and this is why I forget things (at least that is the running joke in my family)! I tell you all of this because of what I did with Makenzie, Jack, and Sadie today. It was snowing when we woke up. Since we do not have a "little country store" down the street from us, I decided we would walk to Dunkin' Donuts. We had fun! See my pictures below!
I bribed them with donuts and hot chocolate!
Jack throwing a snowball at one of his sisters! Look at that arm!
They do love each other!
She walked incredibly slow and kept complaining of her socks being "quitters."

The Nutcracker
Many traditions were continued this Christmas and many memories were made. I cannot believe I have spent 11 Christmas' with Blaine, 9 with Makenzie, and 7 with Jack and Sadie!
One of the traditions I continue with my girls is going to see the Nutcracker at the Orpheum. The girls continue to enjoy it each year! Not to make it sound perfect....the girls get restless when Claire is dreaming about the Sugarplum Fairy! And Sadie has a hard time looking at the guys in tights! But, we always have a great time and I do look forward to it each year!
