Merry *White* Christmas!

We sure did have a lot of snow at my parents house.  It started snowing in Bluff Park when we left home and was still snowing when we arrived in Mountain Brook.  It snowed until 3:30 or so.  There was some accumulation, and I think we can safely say that we had a White Christmas (or as close as Alabama may get for some time).

Christmas Eve was spent with Welles' family.  Daniel was surprised by a precious Thomas the Train riding toy and a fire engine. 

Cousin Tyler was very excited about opening her gift from Daniel and received pajamas and a Cinderella doll.  Sweet Heidi wasn't up to opening her gifts, but we know that next year will  be a completely different Christmas Eve for her.


Santa did come to drop off some gifts for Daniel!  Tonka trucks and a wagon made his morning merry and bright. 

Unfortunately, Daniel is still sick and is on a second round of antibiotics that make him cranky and overall pretty miserable.  There were some happy times throughout the day, and many sleepy times.


Toys were played with...

And toys were broken...

And there was a small fire--Aunt Ashley came to the rescue!  Unfortunately, a small elf was caught up in the blaze and was injured.  See how his right mitten stayed attached? 


Mary Linnley prissed around with a purse...she was seriously one of the cutest things I have seen in a while!


 Scotty built a snow baby...

Daniel and Mary Linnley received card tables, trains, musical instruments, tunnels, books, and cute outfits.






The women in the family received scarves, shoes (I got a nice pair of boots), watches, sweaters, and jewelry.  The men received disk shooters, sweaters, jackets, and a trip for two to the blue ridge mountains!  We are really looking forward to that vacation!  Thanks, Mom and Dad!


 "Hi Mary Linnley.  You're so pretty.  Can I have some of your food?"




Overall it was a fun Christmas, and we are so thankful for the many gifts, great food, and time with family that we enjoyed.
