We had such a wonderful Christmas!  The snow we got the weekend before Christmas stayed around to give us the first white Christmas in Virginia I have ever experienced!  Brady and Dave were able to make it home for a week and Ella really got into Christmas this year...she even sat on Santa's lap...twice!!!  Kinsley really liked all the lights, but unfortunately she was sick on Christmas Day and really not herself.  We spent a lot of time with family and friends...and that is what made it all so special!

Snow Fun!!!

Making Snow Angels

It is very unusual for us to get snow in December, especially the 8-10 inches that we got this weekend!  In fact, I don't ever remember getting any substantial snowfall before Christmas.  Ella has been out playing in it for the last two days.  Kinsley went out for a couple minutes with mommy on Saturday to take a couple of pictures of Ella and daddy, but she wasn't fond of the cold wind!

5 Months Old

Well, another month has passed and Kinsley is now 5 months old.  She is eating cereal and baby food like a champ and almost sitting up on her own (I don't think she is ever going to roll over though!).

It's beginning to look a bit like Christmas....
