In the weeks before Christmas, Lily Kate would look out the window and tell me it wasn't Christmas yet, cause there was no snow. I wondered how I was going to break it to her, that it hadn't snowed here on Christmas Day since 1947!
We had an amazing Christmas. Christmas Eve we attended the Candlelight Service. It was an adventure having both girls in the service, but they did remarkably well. Although during
Silent Night Lily Kate held the candle up to her nose and said "Look, I'm Rudolph!" The church had battery operated candles for the children since last year someone's hair caught on fire.
One of our family traditions is to open one gift on Christmas Eve (often it's Christmas PJs, Lily Kate still fit in hers from last year, so she chose the tiniest package under the tree.)

| Opening up her Christmas Eve present- Disney Princess silly bands from Unca & Rachie! |
 |
| Christmas morning in their matching pjs |
 |
| Aubrey's First Christmas- she slept in until 10:30! |
 |
| Lily Kate LOVES her new doll house. She played with it for hours! |
When we opened our stockings, Lily Kate sat there with her unopened stocking and said "It's just what I wanted!"
Christmas night it started snowing and it didn't stop until the next afternoon! Lily Kate got her wish of a white Christmas. She really enjoyed the snow.

| The snow was very packable...we made a snow cat. |
