Winter Wonderland

The weather changed our Christmas plans a bit this year. We managed to make it to Iowa on Thursday morning before things were too bad and were snowed in until Saturday just in time for Christmas with the Eilts family. I don't know that we would have even made it to that had it not been for a friendly neighbor with a huge tractor and plow - how easy it is to forget the fun of living in the country!

I think Beckett had a very good time playing, eating, and opening presents (January may bring a rude awakening when he doesn't have birthday and Christmas presents to open anymore!)

Mateo gets a Stars Wars helmet from Nana and Papa. Look at Beckett and Kade coveting the new present!

OK, Chad was coveting it as well.

All of the boys were interested in Kaden's Hot Wheels motorized race track.

I asked Mateo to smile for me and show the Spiderman guitar we gave him. This is as cooperative as he gets for the camera (or maybe just me).

B had a pretty good time with the guitar too.

They still make these! This one plays music. And was a very good buy with a deal from Wal-Mart and a coupon from Playskool. =)

One night of snow later....

Beckett playing outside with daddy and Kaden.

And then helping Papa scoop up all the snow.

The cousins watched Toy Story from their "tent." Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
