Oh wow...what a whirlwind! Because of the impending weather, we left St. Louis a day early to avoid snow on our journey to Cleveland to celebrate Christmas with the Kilbanes. We arrived late on Christmas day and braced ourselves for the "blizzard" that they were predicting. We got snow and wind, and COLD temperatures. The kids loved it. It was our first snow since last year (February)! We weren't out long due to the wind and sub-freezing temperatures. Kaitlyn was very upset that it wasn't "snowman making" snow...but they still found a way to throw it at us!

Time to open presents! The kids were beyond excited to open the presents under the tree! Brady was covered in a mountain of gifts! He sifted through them quickly though...Kaitlyn was quite excited with her first "Lego Friends" kit as well as her Dorothy dress and Toto (in his basket) from the Wizard of Oz.
SLED RIDING! On New Year's Day, we took the kids to some hills nearby. They had never really been sledding before. They trekked up the big hill and came sliding down. It was, again, quite cold and windy. We didn't stay long, but they loved every second.
