Snow, Snow come only on the weekend PLEASE!!!

This weekend was the kick-off weekend for the Christmas Holiday.
We took in the festivities of the Courthouse tree lighting followed by some cookies and a visit with Santa Claus.
Rhett, Sidney Shea, Bennett and Weston were all good boys and girls and hopefully after they visited with the "big guy" he'll bring them what they want...

The Amburgey's

Weston, all bundled!

Once we got inside, it's shed the coats and wait in line to see....SANTA!!!!

After our evening out, what did we wake to??? SNOW!!!!! This next picture is for our friends in Texas ( we missed you and if you were here we would have been playing together...OUTSIDE!)

This is how REAL cowboys play.

I wanted him to put on his other hat but he insisted on his cowboy hat!
The snow was perfect for building a snowman and even Daddy got in on the action.

What do you think...Frosty wouldn't be able to hold a light to this snowman...literally!
(buttons for eyes, sand shovel for a nose and broccoli for buttons)

This is what Sidney Shea did while we...........

Made snow angels
(Eli)

Built HUGE snowballs
(Avery)

Had snowball fights!!!!

and built snow forts to hide behind
(Ellie)

It was a great SNOW DAY. The best part about it was.....it was on a WEEKEND!!

After being outside for 2 hours we came in and warmed up, then off we went to see Santa again...only this time, no one was tired, we didn't have to wait and everyone sat on his lap and told them what they wanted.

Rhett's list consists of the following: a guitar, and then all kinds of calls-duck, moose, elk, big buck, and coyote callers!

Sidney Shea's list: a new pink pony...this is according to Rhett. A few months ago, we did laundry and washed her pink pony, I sat it outside to dry and Kasey (the cat) cuddled up all around it and I made her get off, so she meowed and meowed. Rhett asked me what she was doing and I told him I guess she was crying because she wanted Sidney Shea's pink pony. Well, when it came time to talk about Santa and gifts we said Sidney Shea wanted diapers and Rhett informed us that she didn't want that she wanted a new pink pony. When I asked him why he said "So Kasey can have her old one!"

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE AMBURGEY'S
