Christmas

Wow--It's only been a month since Christmas but that's ok, right? Here we are. We like each other and we are a HOT 1940's rat pack couple. Amy's party was a smash again this year!

We decided to do "our" Christmas before we left for MD so this picture is of Sam seeing his presents for the first time. He was so cute this year. He started out so slow and just picking off the tag or the wrapping piece by piece but then he realized what he was doing and then he started ripping them open and then he wanted to ooooo-pen every toy and play with it. He was too fricken cute!
Here is Charlie in his Chestertown Camo enjoying some time on Poppi's lap. Poppi was laid up AGAIN due to a second ankle surgery but all is well now...the cast has come off so Sam better look out 'cause Poppi's gonna get him!

Here is Sam helping Greg shovel out the tremendous amount of snow that MD got right before Christmas. MD received 20+ inches of snow and it was gorgeous. I was kinda in a scramble before we left thinking...we don't have a thing for Sam to wear in the snow...no boots, no gloves, no snow suit...oh, we had a hat :) So I hit up facebook and had a few volunteers for a snowsuit but no boots. So I trudged with the whole family to Target, praying that they had a pair of boots. And the only reason I was praying is that we don't get snow in NC. Now you see my dilemma. BUT some miracle occurred and there was one pair of size 6 boys snow boots on a random shelf...I snatched them up and they were perfect.

All Sam could talk about on the way up was building a snowman. I actually think that Greg was more excited then Sam to build the snowman. (Pictures of that to come) And then Tanner peed on it.

Greg also spent, I don't know, maybe 2 hours creating this sledding trail from the top of the deck, around the back of the house and out to the side yard. He was quite proud of himself and after many drinks, lots of people at the Christmas Eve party took a turn on the luge.
