100th Post!!!

Wow, it's hard to believe I have posted on this blog 100 times! Anywhere, here are some more Christmas pictures in random order....We left our cameras at home, so I have to take
pictures from everyone else...
My mom has made stockings for everyone, and this year she had to add three additional ones. Gretel was born last July, and my sisters Megan and Rosie are both due the first weekend in May. Rosie is having a boy (who we refer to as Gibblett because their last name is Gibb) and Megan finds out this coming week what she is having, but if it's a boy it will probably be William Douglas the third.) I think we now have 19 stockings that wrap around our staircase.
The snow. So much snow. They got over 20" of snow...This is a picture of the snowman my brother Sam and his kids built. James and Brandon also helped and they made a fort and a slide. Lexie went out and played in the snow a little too, but I think it was too cold for her to really enjoy it. They also packed down the snow on the stairs on our back porch and slid down that. Then Brandon and James started jumping off the back porch into snow drifts. (It's a story high.)Luckily no one was hurt in the festivities. Sam and Jessica's kids: Gretel, Ava, Bianca, and Joseph. They were so cute with Lexie. They played with her all day long and made sure she was well entertained!


My dad rented out a photography studio for us to have some family pictures done. Unfortunately Bill and Megan couldn't make it because the Sioux Falls Airport shut down because of the weather all day Friday and half of Saturday so their flights were cancelled.


Lexie just could not get enough of Baby Gretel...Lexie is a crazy dancer. She loves to dance. Here she is dancing with Ava.
Ava and Lexie had matching PJ's, which wasn't even planned...Ava was so excited
to find out that Lexie has the same ones as she does!
We had a great Christmas! We played games, ate a lot of WONDERFUL food and candy, we went swimming at an indoor waterpark a couple times, and we saw the movie Sherlock Holmes. It was a great trip! Hope everyone else enjoyed Christmas!
