Hiking in the Snow

While Terra and I stayed home in the warm house Tim, Trent and Freddy went in search of snow in the local mountains. They were in luck and found some fresh powder to hike in.
Ready to hike.
 A good amount of fresh snow to hike in.

 The high powered Prius survived the snow.
 They made it to dry land and it was a bit windy.
What a great adventure they had!

Christmas

I think I say this every year, but this year Christmas really did come and go in a blink of an eye. I am a very organized person and with having Terra I knew that I needed to be extra organized and had to have most of my shopping done before Terra was born. I am not sure what I would do with online shopping, it was definitely a lifesaver. 
The joys of having a girl has to be all the cute clothes. Terra had some really cute Christmas outfits and I tried my best to make sure she wore them all.
 Silly girl!
We had to have a small tree this year because the baby stuff has taken over the living room...we need more space!
 Great Grandma Ethel and Terra.  They are twins with their Christmas outfits.
Trent was really excited for Terra to meet Santa. I had to wake Terra up to meet Santa, so I am pretty sure she had no idea what was going on. I am sure next year it will be a whole different story...hopefully she wants to sit on Santa's lap.
Our Christmas celebration begins for me when we have the Sunday School Christmas Program. Last year, Trent played the piano and this year he read a Christmas story to his baby sister. It was so sweet.
 Terra was asleep for the story, but I am sure she loved hearing her big brother's voice.
I got my Christmas present a week early, which was so exciting. Tim got me my dream purse and I absolutely love it. He thinks that since I have my dream purse that I will never "need" another purse, but he is mistaken...I am sure I will "need" another purse just not for a really long time.
 I was so excited!
The purse is so big Terra fits inside it. I love it!!
We celebrated Christmas Eve at Tim's parents house. It is always a bit chaotic, but always lots of fun.
 A few pictures before we head over to Tim's parents house.  
Trent is so good with Terra and loves holding her.
 Terra wants her pacifier back in.
 So sweet!
