Christmas Eve

Drew and TJ had a great time playing in the snow while everyone else built snow people.  Sidney and Taylee were having naps so that made it nice for everyone since those little girls are only 21 and 15 months old.  

Christmas Eve was so much fun.  Everyone got on their snow gear and we went into the front yard to build  a snowman.

After the first one was done we decided to build some more since there seemed to be plenty of snow and it really wasn't too cold.  Mitch was even using a butter knife to sculpt and fine tune each snowman.

When they were done, we had a photo session with the models striking poses with the snow family.  It wasn't 30 minutes after we were done when a huge snowstorm blew in.  But those snowmen are sturdy little buggers and are still standing strong today.

In the pictures are Avery Mortensen in the green, Mandy Reschke in the pink (by the way, she is wearing my old ski jumpsuit thing I wore many years ago but can still wear today if I really suck it in when I go out to snowblow), Drew Eden is in the white  and red, TJ is the multi-colored snow coat, Brett Eden is in the light gray, Mitch Mortensen is in the green and navy and Daren Reschke is in the navy blue.  

We had such a great time and a wonderful Christmas.  We had everyone with us except for Mckenzie and Dom and their family since they are living in Doha, Qatar in the Middle East.  We miss them so very much.  But it was so wonderful to have as many of us together as we did.  We feel so very blessed to have such a wonderful family who love and care for each other.
