Christmas morning we woke to 6 inches of snow on the ground. By the end of the day, we had at least 12 inches with more on the way. This was more snow than Fred, Margaret and Scott had ever seen having lived in Texas all their lives. Fortunately, the snow stopped with just enough daylight for us to get out and enjoy it. Everyone participated in snow removal, but Brent, bless his heart, spent a lot of the day outside shoveling. A snowman and a snow throne were built. Snowball fights ensued and Brent and Brenna were both buried in the snow. It was a very enjoyable White Christmas indeed.

Brenna and Uncle Scott baked Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve. There was a competition afoot. Brenna put the chocolate chips on top of the cookies and Scott put the chocolate chips inside the cookies. We let Santa be the judge and Brenna's cookies won!

On Christmas Eve, we went up to Alta and Brenna took her very first ski lesson. She really enjoyed being on skis and drinking the hot chocolate during their breaks.
We got a dusting of snow at our house this weeked, but it was enough to make a snow angel!
Brenna's school held a Winter Wonderland festival last week. She enjoyed going from room to room with her tickets to participate in the various activities. Santa made a special appearance and she told him she would like blocks, a fire truck and race cars. Not sure where those requests came from, but I'm sure Santa won't dissappoint.
