Have a Holly Jolly Christmas

So it's been awhile since I've been able to post anything on here.  For weeks it kept telling me I needed to pay monthly to upload photos to my blog, which I refuse to do.  I randomly got on today, just to see what happened, and it's now back to normal. YEA!  Anyway, we've had a wonderful Christmas season that we kicked off with our annual day after Thanksgiving trip to Dull's Tree Farm.  This year Justin's Parents and his sister Becca joined us for a freezing cold day picking out our tree.   We then had Christmas with my dad and Kathy at our house, followed a few days later by Christmas with my mom at our house, then off we went to Wisconsin for some Peterson family fun.

First snow, out we go to attempt a snowman and make some snow angels
Playing trains with Daddy after Pappy and Gma Kathy brought up the Sodor Washdown and Salty's Drawbridge.  Mimi came up a few days later and brought Ethan Toby's windmill and Toby.  Ethan LOVES his trains and now makes some pretty AMAZING tracks!  He's a pretty lucky boy :)
