First Snow of 2011

Last Sunday it snowed during Church and of course this happened 2 days after I returned the snow pants that I bought on black Friday.

Christmas Food

I'm not one to brag about gifts but I will brag about food! Christmas Eve we went to the Angeli's and just us and them and a wonderful brisket dinner. I hosted Christmas brunch and I made, Monkey bread, french toast, egg strata and new for us this year, German pancakes. Then we went back to the Angeli's for dinner with Mark's side for traditional Christmas lasagna....so much great food and great company.



(cute advent calendar g-ma C sent to the kids and Olivia loved being in charge of it every day)

Christmas

Christmas 2010 was a great party, to end a great year. We had some bumps this year but the year ended with great blessings, the best being employment! Olivia is really enjoying school and comes home every day with something new she learned. One thing that we added to our traditions was that she learned that in Paris (per her) kids put their shoes out on Christmas Eve, so Santa was little confused when he got to our house but it looked cute and their shoes are so small.

My mantel, I loved looking at silhouette of the birth of Christ.

My camera doesn't get down loaded as often, so here are some lost photos of 2010.
