The girls were so excited about their stockings and gifts. They couldn't believe that Santa knew exactly what they wanted. Hannah was most excited about her roller shoes and Meredith loved her new Rose Garden Cottage.

Christmas Surprise
Look what Santa dropped off on our front porch this Christmas. The girls have been begging for a puppy that stays small and 'Santa' couldn't decide, so 'he' brought us two. Too bad Santa went back to work and I am home with two girls and two puppies all day. Meredith's is a maltese named Sammy and Hannah's is a Lhasapoo named Toby. They actually are really cute, but I hate the housebreaking stage.
Visit with Santa
We are probably the only family that doesn't have a picture of their kids with Santa. For some reason, they have been scared to death of him. This is as close as we could get them to sitting on his lap.
All I Want for Christmas Are My Six Front Teeth
Hannah won't be very happy about this post, but how could I resist. Poor girl lost all of her teeth right before Christmas.
Meredith's Christmas Wish List
In case you can't hear this very well, Meredith is asking for a red cow that can stay in our backyard and eat hotdogs.
Ice Storm Hits the Northeast
Well, we haven't had electricity since 11:00 pm last night and school has been called off for the last two days. Talk about going stir crazy. Today I felt like Laura from Little House on the Prairie. I remember this happening when I was in college here. We didn't have electricity for a long time and you could just hear trees falling over outside.
Christmas Picture Attempt
This is one of about twenty pictures taken for our Christmas cards this year. Meredith is at that age where she can't do anything you want her to do. I should have told her to cry and then she probably would have smiled. We decided to just go ahead and use one of the pictures anyway since it showed what we are really like.First Real Snow in Kirksville
Hannah and Meredith were so excited to get home and play in the snow. Meredith didn't last very long after she realized how cold the snow was once you were wet.
Elizabeth and Foster
Can you believe how cute they are! For those of you that went to college with me, it's hard to imagine that Elizabeth was just two years old when we met her. She has grown in to such a lady.
Grandma and Grandpa Silvernail
My parents came over Thanksgiving to visit from Florida. Hannah and Meredith were so excited to see them. I bet grandma had no idea there were so many places to hide in our house while being "it" during hide and seek. Jamie and her husband Nathan also were in town. It was so nice to see everyone. Check out Grandpa John's Mizzou sweatshirt. They were in town for the big Mizzou game and Jamie couldn't resist making him wear this shirt.
