Christmas 2009

On Christmas Eve day we had a blizzard warning and the news said we could get up to 8inches of snow. We thought we would get an inch or something. This snow storm dropped 14 inches of snow and had drifts as tall as 4 -5 feet.

Wesley woke up around 6:30 Christmas morning eager to see if Santa stopped by. He wasn't feeling well the day before so he was still cranky. Katie made snowflake pancakes for Wesley, well tried to but they stuck to the mold, and sausage and buscuits for everyone else. After we cleaned up breakfast we decided to open presents. Wesley got a red car from Santa and enjoyed pushing it around but didn't care to sit inside. He got mega blocks, books, cars and a few toys from mom and dad. Katie's parents tried to come up on Christmas Eve morning, but due to the snow storm that day they had to turn around and go back home.

After we opened presents Wesley was pretty exhausted from all the excitement he had to take a nap. Chad and Mark went outside to shovel the driveway. Some neighbors were driving around to see how much snow had accumulated and one person got stuck in front of the house so they had to help them get unstuck. After Wesley woke up from his nap Katie started to get Christmas lunch ready. We bought turkey and ham from a bar b que place here in town so she didn't have to cook the turkey and ham. She made party mashed potatos, brocolli rice casserole, rolls and cherry cheesecake. Everyone enjoyed eatting the delicious lunch.

After we cleaned up the kitchen from lunch we bundled everyone out and put Wesley in the wagon and walked down the street. The wind started to pick up so we didn't stay out long since he was already not feeling well. We went back inside and played with our Christmas presents and then rested the rest of the day.
