I don't know about everyone else, but we had a delightful Christmas - thanks in part to all the snow we got, which made it feel oh-so-very Christmasy! My mother called me on Sunday to inform me that my 69-year-old father was currently on a toboggan going down their large hill with my 49-year-old sister! Will wonders never cease? It just proves that Christmas snow brings out the child in all of us - which is why I was hurling snowballs at my husband on Sunday and getting snow-smacked in the head by his much-better-than-me aim! Oh the fun to be had! Today's theme for You Capture is "Holiday Favorites". I didn't actually take a lot of pictures of presents being opened or family together, but here are a few of the things I would call my "favorites" of Christmas. Make sure you stop by and check out the other links over @I Should Be Folding Laundry and Happy New Year!
We enjoyed several wonderful fires in the fireplace
We tried three times to get a good picture, but this is what we ended up with and I think it actually captures us and our relationship quite well.
Our friends delight in finding these gifts - this year, Peter was the proud recipient of the "Oh, Yuck!" book and a Superman off-brand Snuggie. We couldn't stop laughing...
The snowshoes were mine when I was in junior high, but now my mom uses them to decorate.
This covered bridge and park are in the town where we live - when I was a child, they still allowed cars to drive over the bridge and I LOVED it!
This one is kind of hard to see, but it's the front of our house with about half of the snow we had after Monday - beautiful!
It looks like you had a very Merry Christmas! The snow looked absolutely beautiful! What fun a white Christmas must have been! The superman snuggie is so funny! My husband got a collegiate one. He didn't act incredibly excited when he opened it. He has been wearing that thing every day since...
ReplyDeleteThat Snuggie is hysterical! So glad you guys had a lovely Christmas! Ours was white too!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful start into 2011!!
Loved hearing about how your 69 father was toboganning! You're right - a winter wonderland does bring out the child in each of us.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your pics. I think my favorite is the one of your now decorative snowshoe! I bet there are lots of stories that go along with it!
What a fun post! I busted out laughing at the photo of the YUCK magazine reading while sporting the Superman snuggie. Good stuff!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat Superman Snuggie looks awesome. My boys would love it!
ReplyDeleteThat picture of Peter is HYsterical.
ReplyDeleteHope you're continuing to enjoy the Holiday Spirit!
Thanks for visiting me today. I love the Oh Yuck/Superman Snuggie. That is hysterical. And I also like the picture of you and your man. I'm jealous of your snow though!
ReplyDeleteI laughed out loud at the Oh Yuck book and Superman Snuggie! Becuase that sounds like things my husband and I would buy one another :) Looks like your holidays were fun and almost everyone's blog I've stopped by had gotten to experience a white Christmas this year..this was our first in years and we loved it!
ReplyDeleteWhere's my Superman Snuggie?????? Yes,we too were super-excited by the snow. We actualy went out looking for it in the car before it came! The boys desperately wanted it to snow and then were asleep the whole time in the car while we hunted the white stuff down! Loved the white Christmas! Probably won't have another one for a LONG time..... Love ya! Your Seestor
ReplyDeleteThe fire looks great, but that snuggie cracks me up!!
ReplyDeleteI bought that exact Snuggie for a White Elephant gift. I love that he was "super"man enough to wear it!!
ReplyDeleteWow, you really did have a white christmas. Snow if fun to play in, but I would hate to actually have to drive in it.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots!
Looks like a great Christmas! That snuggie is too funny. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that Snuggie was exactly the gift he was hoping to get! :)
ReplyDeleteYour house looks so cozy & Christmasy!
