One would think that with 2 and half feet of snow on the ground we could create a significantly larger snowman. However, due to the dry properties of the snow this little guy was all we could make. Cecilia didn't seem to mind.

Christmas in the Midwest- Segment I
We flew back to the Midwest to spend the holiday season with our families.
We are fortunate to have a plentitude of loving family to bestow upon us hundreds of hugs, kisses and holiday cheer.

Guess whose attention Cecilia is trying to capture?
SANTA!
He's coming in!! He's coming in!!
Uh, I don't like him so much now that he is inside.
Although, it is kind of cool that he gives my presents.
