Christmas Celebration (#2)

They all look really sweet and cute in this picture, but if you turn your back to any of them (especially Joy) don't be surprised to get a snowball to the back of the head.
It's hard to tell in the picture, but with some of the gifts we had given to the boys, I built this deluxe garage for Ethan's yellow ATV. I hate to toot my own horn, but there was definitely some craftsmanship to it.

After the last few weeks of storms and sporadic weather, the snowman that Joy and I had built was looking ruff. So all of us worked to give him a slight makeover. Pay special attention to the sideview posted next.
Yes, the snowman does have a mohawk and yes, it's awesome. Right now, the snowman stands about five feet from our front door, so I guess you could call him our own presonal doorman.
Now that's high living, when you have your own bouncer by the door.

This past weekend, Jim, Becky, and the boys came up for a visit and we were able to have a Christmas celebration with them. The weekend was filled with snowball fights, sledding, and everything else you can do with snow. It was an excellent few days and it was so nice to see the boys passion and excitement for the snow. By weekend's end, Ethan was trying to tell Becky that he could stay at our house and Santa could simply drop off his presents and Matthew's only concern was that Joy and I would set carrots out for Santa's reindeer.
