White Christmas

It was a record breaking Christmas day here in East Tennessee, and no, it had nothing to do with the amount of new toys we were able to pack into our house. For the first time in, well I don't remember... a really long time, we saw significant snow fall on Christmas Day. It happened quite surprisingly, rather quickly, and in a pretty good amount (again, for East Tennessee!). We were able to enjoy the sights, smells and sounds of it on Christmas but then we got to enjoy the FEEL of it in the couple of days following. I never thought anything in this world could pull our kids from their "new" playroom the day after Christmas, but by-golly, 4 inches of snow can do it and do it quickly!

If I photoshop a really cute family on the front step, I could have our 2011 Christmas card finished by June.
I don't know. I really don't. I can tell you that no, your eyes do not deceive you. This is broccoli on his head, radishes as his eyes and carrots as both the mouth and nose. Oddly enough, he has real buttons down his midsection. Meet "Mr. Vegetable Snowman." And, that's all I'll say about that.I just can't ever seem to get Cooper to sit still long enough to pose, but it sure leaves some grand opportunities for awfully adorable daddy-daughter pictures!

Kendall in action!

He ended this ride down the hill in uncontrollable giggles and some pretty big "woo-HOO's."

Cooper has enjoyed sledding with all the big neighborhood kids this year. We're lucky in that we have the steepest hill in the neighborhood and don't have to walk or drive anywhere to let the kids sled (or, more importantly, watch all the big kids sled as fast as possible into our fence).

I know. I know. I can hear my mother, my grandmother, my mother-in-law... all of you, I hear you. But look, their outfits WITHOUT coats were much cuter for photos than with their big bulky jackets. It was only for a few minutes and then I promise I got them quickly bundled back up, hats, gloves and all.

That "fog" you see in the background is actually the snow-covered mountains!

Although this is very, very late, The Wild Webbs hope your Christmas was as splendidly wonderful as you deserve... And we know you deserved quite a bit! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all!
