Merry Christmas!

We had a wonderful Christmas week. Maggie had school on Monday and Tuesday, so it felt like it snuck up on us quickly. It's very cozy having the girls home for a few days, the house all decorated and lots and lots of cookies around :) If only we could make it last a few more weeks!

We've had these Santa hats for the horses for awhile, but just hadn't gotten around to using them. Wednesday night we made a quick trip out to make sure they were ready, incase Santa needed them.

They're very good sports :)

We couldn't leave out the original four legged elf.

The girls had been hoping for a white Christmas. It started to snow lightly just as we were packing the car. If only I'd known how much
was coming, I'd of packed snow boots!

By the time we got to Omaha there was a lot of snow, but it couldn't stand in the way of our annual
dive bar lunch....We were just about the only people at Danny's, but it wouldn't be Christmas without it.

All ready for Christmas Eve.

Did Santa come?

Yah!!! Santa came through :)

Maggie's hanging chair was a BIG hit....

....with everyone!

They might need life jackets!

Whoa....what a mess!

Uncle Arnie helped Elsie try out the swing for her new baby.

....Uncle Arnie's turn.

I can't believe I didn't take more pictures on Christmas Eve or at Aunt Joyce & Uncle Lee's. The girls had a great time playing with Hailie and Connor and enjoying our family.

 

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from our family to yours! 

Arnie, Gracie and I came home from Omaha on Saturday. Maggie got to stay with Grandma and Grandpa for a few days on her own. Sunday Arnie and Gracie took advantage of the new snow.

Maggie's first Grandma Day request was HuHot for dinner :) She'll come home totally spoiled (and happy as a clam!)

Friday night we'll have Westerfield Christmas here in Norfolk, can't wait for them all to invade our home!
