Happy New Year!

I got a new camera for Christmas so we are back in business! I have no idea how to use 95% of what it can do, but it's really cool!

We have been busy but survived all the holiday craziness and the kids and I survived a week at home with each other. My mom was here so that helped. Mike and I had to cancel our 2 day, away from the kids, trip because of the snow that dumped the day after Christmas.

We got about 8 inches so it really was significant. We are supposed to get some more today. This will be our 3rd snow so far this winter.

We had a great Christmas and the kids seemed to like what Santa brought them and all the other gifts they were spoiled with. They are already making their birthday lists though! Nothing like teaching the kids to be grateful for what they have - LOL.

Here is a picture of Christmas morning at our house...

Here are Noah and Emily opening a gift. Noah got a robe and slippers and was so excited he had to put them on right away. Needless to say, The robe didn't stay on long and most of my pictures are of him in his undies...but isn't he cute?

Here is a good picture of Emily and Noah actually together! I love my new camera!

Next up - Disneyworld! We are taking the train down to Orlando next week and spending a day at Disneyworld with the kids. I'll post more after that adventure.

Happy New Year to everyone!

God Bless,

Gretchen, Mike, Emily, Noah, Nikki, and Elsie
