Here are a few pictures of our Christmas. We got snowed in on Christmas Eve and spent the day as just Mark, me and the kids playing board games and baking. I made the mistake of running to the store and when it was time to drive home the roads were so bad that I slid backward down the least steep of the hills that take you up to the bench. I ended up hiking up our hill through our neighbors backyards (with three hot pizzas, I must've looked like a dedicated delivery person) and the van stayed at the bottom of the hill 'til the snow stopped and roads were cleared around 10:30 p.m.
Along with baking wondeful treats together, Mark used our time to teach the kids how to cut up a whole chicken for a quick and easy meal. The kids hated the demonstration (see Aubrielle's face) and I'm pretty sure Ava is a vegetarian now, but we laughed a lot.
Christmas Day, a winter wonderland! I wish you could see all the trees fat with snow, and the best kind of fluffy, sparkly snow! It is gorgeous outside!!!
Christmas Breakfast, Eggnog French Toast, sausage and ham & egg scramble with spinach and mozzerella cheese.
Amari loved shredding presents! The kids are super happy with all of thier gifts!
Ava loves her "Big Daddy" with the fluffy, soft, bald, head!
Grandma dancing with Jason to Feliz Navidad, we do this every year and everyone dances along! (well, almost everyone!)

Me and Dan try to keep up, learning new songs as we go!
My girls Ava, Amari and Aubrie playing with the new DS game, Zhu Zhu Pets.
Ammoriah and Andrew getting some snacks. We had Nanaimo Bars made with Angelina's canadian recipe and for my first time I think they turned out pretty awesome!
A great dinner with family and friends! We enjoyed the nativity story and sweet messages of love and appreciation for eachother, (then danced to Feliz Navidad again).
