Our next activity, we went sledding. Sledding wasn't so much fun for Hallee. We were at the top of the hill and Zak asked Hallee if she wanted to go down by herself and she said yes. He sent her down the hill and she runs into the one big snowman someone had created (this was at the school yard and so it is a big area and she runs into the only thing that there is to run into) and it throws her off the sled into the snowman ball, she was crying, and we only got her to go down the hill one more time with Zak and he tipped the sled over on her. Blyss and I went down three times and she thought it was fun. She kept saying, "fun!"
That after noon Hallee and I made sugar cookies for Santa Claus. Hallee kept asking when Santa was coming and we kept telling her when she is asleep. At 5:55 pm we found Hallee in her PJ's and in bed, because she wanted Santa to come so bad. We had to convince her she needed to stay up awhile. That night we read the Christmas story, sang songs, and let the girls open 1 present each.

On Christmas morning we thought Hallee would be up bright and early, finally I got up at 7:30 and got ready, 8:30 came around and still no Hallee, so finally Zak woke her up because we were to excited. Hallee was so happy with what Santa brought her. Then when Blyss finally woke up she kept saying, "wow." Hallee and Blyss got a kitchen set, which they played with all day, and they each got a barbie horse and a barbie.
It was snowing and blowing like crazy here and we were hoping that we could go to Idaho the next day, things cleared up and we were able to go. We stayed with Zak's family, Zak's parents gave the girls a horse to ride, and they are having a ball with that too. We had a great time seeing both of our families and visiting. And we couldn't believe all the snow this past weekend.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas!

What a fun Christmas you all had. Thanks for sharing it. Happy Holidays!
I'm glad you had such a good Christmas - I like your traditions you've started too. That Hallee is such a character isn't she. I thought we got a lot of snow but you guys really did get dumped on. Have a Happy New Year too!
Looks like you guys had a great Christmas! How fun. Glad you were able to make it up to Idaho - the roads were awful! The snow's been crazy. Zak's a good husband to shovel all that snow! Good boy Zak!
Looks liek Santa found you!! Isn't the snow crazy, I can't believe it. I can't believe Zak shoveled your whole drive way. That is a good husband.
