Ruby loves her Snow White dress-ups
Owen gave Sam a penguin pillow pet named "cuddle puddle"
Owen is very excited to build his new Lego sets
We celebrated a wonderful Christmas at Scott's parent's home. Traveling to Virginia has become our family tradition, since we have yet to have a Christmas at our own house. I enjoy this tradition and wouldn't know what to do if it was just our family instead of having Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Deanne, and Uncle Nate's family to spend it with. For Christmas Eve we have homemade pizzas followed by a family talent show and reading of the Christmas story. For Sam's talent, he made up an original Christmas song that he sang and even passed out words that he typed himself for the rest of us to sing along. Owen did somersaults and various body configurations. Ruby danced during everyone else's musical numbers. She was quit adorable saying "thank you" and bowing at our applause (which was really for the other performer).
Christmas morning we were up at 7 am (it was 6 am when I was a kid and I'm so glad I get that extra hour of sleep now that I'm an adult). My parents skyped with us from Ukraine and we set the laptop up in the living room so they could be a part of the thrill of Christmas morning.
We returned home to snow and the kids had a great time making "snow dogs". It has snowed again since then and Ruby loves to be out in it. I took her out today, thinking she would get cold and want to quit soon, but I had to bring her in kicking and screaming. She was covered in white from all her snow angels, but not the least bit fazed by the cold.
