The holidays have almost come and gone. I can't believe how fast it goes by! All the preparation and anticipation! Well, there was a lot of anticipation in our house this year. We were worried that we would not see any snow for Christmas. As you can see below, we all had to take a peek outside to see if the snow was here yet! Well, we got our wish and we even got to go sledding! Rowen loved her first sledding experience and she even bacame a local celebrity! Two news crews stopped and asked if they could interview us and video Rowen going down the hill!!! We were so proud! Of course we recorded it so that we can watch it over and over.~Maya and Rowen looking to see if they can see any snowflakes yet.~

~No snowflakes yet!~
We only had to wait a couple more days and we were able to play in the snow!!!


~As you can see, Rowen LOVED it!~

~Rowen's fifteen minutes of fame!~

Thankfully, the snow stayed until Christmas morning....it was a beautiful day! We were able to share Christmas with Jason's side of the family. We opened presents and then piled into the car and drove to Philadelphia to spend the remainder of Christmas with the rest of the family. Mom Mom DeLue and Aunt Ellen made a delicious meal for all 13 of us! The next day we drove to Delaware to see Mom Mom Argo. We had such a wonderful time seeing everyone! We are so very blessed!
