snow much fun...

what does the withers family do when it is "above freezing"? well, we go sledding at rocket hill, of course! with the weather being "balmy", we decided to hit the hill and have some fun. We got out right away in the morning so we only had to share the hill with a few early risers. It was snow much fun, and I hope we can do it again once the degrees climb above zero!

 here we go...

 sophia decided to take the easy way up...

 the girls ran into a daycare friend, molly, while at rocket hill

 look at those cute red cheeks!

what sledding day wouldn't be complete without a little hot chocolate and a candy cane?

it's beginning to look a lot like christmas...

the withers family just celebrated 4 christmases in 5 days...whew! It was a lot of fun, but we are all a little exhausted from all that "merry-making". Here are some pictures from all that christmas fun...

merry christmas to all, and to all a good night...

a visit with santa...

the girls visited santa on saturday at the mall. it has been a tradition since sophia was two to visit santa in their christmas clothes. i decided to find the pictures with both the girls and santa from the past. i didn't realize how nostalgic that would get me...I might have cried when i was posting this, except the girls were screaming in the background - with silliness, but nonetheless, it is hard to be nostalgic when there is a whole lot of screeching goin' on. ;)

MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and yours!

holiday happenings...

we have busy enjoying all the "holiday happenings" the past few weeks. We spent an afternoon with the Windschitl Crew, a day with Grandpa and Grandma, and an evening with the Urbanski and Johnson Family. Throw in some extra fun on the side, and we are filled with holiday cheer...and a little exhausted, but in a good way. We hope you and your family have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!

 our elf, sam, has been having a little fun at our house...

naughty little elf...
