Sledding at Uncle Ben's House!

After the Christmas Snow Storm of 2009 dumped 18 inches or more in our area, the boys were itching to get out and play in all the snow! Once Uncle Ben had his driveway cleared, LARGE mounds of snow were left behind...perfect sledding hills for Logan and Landon, so we headed out there and had a blast! Landon only lasted about an hour (which is good for him), and he wasn't thrilled about going down the hill in a sled. He was just interested in jumping around in the snow! Logan must have went down the hill 50 times or more, and poor Uncle Ben helped him up and down each time! He stayed out for another hour after Landon tuckered out and went home for a nap. Logan also built a little snow fort with Ben's help, so he thought that was pretty neat! When Logan was done, we headed into Ben and Alyssa's house to warm up, and they made Logan some hot chocolate, which he loved! What a fun time! It looks like the snow will be around for awhile, so we hope to get out there and have more fun in the coming days!

Christmas at Gma and Gpa Umscheid's House!

On Saturday, it felt good to get out of the house after the storm had trapped us, and go to my mom and dad's for Christmas with them, my brother, and his girlfriend. After eating WAY too much food, the present opening began!! Boy did Logan and Landon get spoiled this year! Although, both found a lump of coal in their stockings (as a joke). Logan did not take the joke so well. He was seriously worried that Santa thought he was naughty and gave him a lump of coal! Haha! We told him if he had really been naughty, all he would have gotten was a lump of coal...there wouldn't be 15 other presents to open! Well, he MADE me promise I wouldn't tell his teacher...he would die if Miss DeMuth knew he got a lump of coal! We all got a laugh out of that! These are just a very few of the pictures. The boys loved their new toys and clothes, and I got to stay up until about midnight that night taking everything out of boxes (and toys are ridiculous to get out of boxes) and finding places to keep all of the new loot!
