Our Snowman and more Christmas

The last two years we have been in Virginia we thought it was crazy to get the few big snow storms that we've had, but this year I kind of just expected it (and Whit really hoped for it to snow!) It has been fun to just have one or two snow storms a year and then have it melt away and be done. So we had to make sure we made it outside to play in the snow. The kids and daddy had fun making this snowman.

Whit loved sledding down the hill.

We had a great Christmas. The kids were so excited Christmas morning. It was so fun to see their happy faces when they came down stairs to see their toy story tent and the presents.

On Christmas eve we got to go over to some friends in our ward and have a Christmas party. We had dinner, played some games, sang Christmas songs and the kids put on a Nativity for us. Whit was Joseph, he wasn't quite sure what to do but he loved riding the donkey with Mary.

One of our traditions we have had while we've been in Virginia is going to the live nativity at the zoo. I think it was the most fun this year since Whit is older and able to understand it a little more.

Another one of our Virginia traditions is the "Tacky Light Tour" Richmond has a light tour they have every year with a list of houses that are all decked out with Christmas lights and we always go several nights to go see some homes. Some of the houses even have the lights dancing to music.
