So here finally are Christmas/New years/January photo's.
We had friends over Christmas Eve who braved the Blizzard to get here (barely) unfortunately the snow wasn't slowing down so all the daddies shoveled snow to get them here and then we had dinner and they shoveled snow to get them out and home for Christmas at their own houses. We did make time for a very fast nativity pageant and the kids opened their pajamas. When Dan came in finally and everyone was gone I got a great shot of the snow frozen on his eyebrows.
Christmas Day was magical and fun as it should be. We woke up to a white Christmas of course with a bizzard all night, and all got wonderful presents and cinnamon rolls for breakfast and spent the afternoon of a beautiful sunny day playing in the snow and with all our new toys.
The snowdrifts were quite amazing and when we did finally venture out in the new car - Oh yeah, we got a new car right before Christmas also, a Honda Pilot and it's awesome!!! Merry Christmas to me! -Dan was dying to use the 4 wheel drive in the snow. We found lots of roads blocked still with huge drifts and cars stuck everywhere! the entrance to our neighborhood was a one lane passage because of the drift, there's a photo of the car next to it, all the way up to the door.
By new years most roads were clear, we went to the cowboy museum. Dan went to a Thunder game on New years eve. New years day, we played at the park and had a fabulous time (anything to get us our of the house and get some energy out). and Then the Hansen cousins came and stayed the rest of the weekend.
We're finally back in school and back on a normal schedule for the most part. Thank you everyone for the wonderful Christmas cards and e-mails. We love to stay connected with you even if it's just once a year!

I am just so very glad that you have a blog! I love being able to see all the happening of our favorite Okies. :) Of course, it just makes me miss you all the more!
All the pictures were so great...I especially love the iced-over eyebrows. And I loved Jakey's stylish pink gloves...we had to put Tyler is purple snow pants once...he didn't mind, but I still feel a little bad when I see the pictures.
Love the new car!! That is so exciting! Now you just need to come show it off in person. It looks like it would be *great* for a road trip!! :)
Fun at the Martin house! That is a lot of snow... even Utah hasn't gotten that much yet this year. Looks like a marvelous Christmas... loved the snowman with Margie and Jakey's pink gloves-classic:) Dan's eyebrows rock- too bad it wasn't Pagah. We love you all and I agree with Debbie- a road trip in the Pilot?
How fun! I'm glad you updated...that snow is crazy. Its not that bad here...at least it doesn't seem that bad.
Happy New Years!! :)
Your kidlets are really growing fast. I'd tell them to slow the growing down, but I can't get my own to do that ... we'll just start on a new one, right? I hope your pregnancy is going well, which means, not COMPLETELY nauseous and exhausting, just mostly.
