Snow Days

About a week ago we started hearing that snow was in the forecast. You have to understand that snow here in W. Kentucky is pretty rare, so people take it VERY seriously. The night before the snowstorm Walmart was cleaned out. Seriously--no bread, no milk, no bananas. Everyone was preparing for the worst! The storm came and with it came a whopping 2 in. of snow (obviously I am being a little sarcastic here :)). School was canceled for 2 days. I realize that my friends and family in UT are totally laughing right now, but you have to understand that the whole county only has one snow plow, so it kind of paralyzes the city. Regardless, I still think it is pretty funny. We had a fun couple of days hanging out at home.





It was freezing, so the kids were only outside for about 15 min. They decided that the snow isn't all it is cracked up to be. Hopefully we will be able to visit UT during the winter so that the kids will be able to make real snow angels. I hope everyone is enjoying winter. We are already looking forward to spring!

Christmas at the Craig's

The entire month of December is currently kind of a blur to me. I think Christmastime is always crazy, but for some reason this year was extra crazy. Parties, baking, shopping...it seems like there was barely time to sit back and enjoy the season. In spite of the chaos, it really was fun. Here are a few of our favorite memories of Christmas this year.

The Craig party at grandma and grandad's:

Hailey with her new build a bear cat

Allie--you can't have enough littlest pet shop pets!

Rachel-She got a new build a bear bunny

Hanging out with cousin Sarah

What girl doesn't want a new Coach purse for Christmas. LOVE IT!

Nathan's parents gave us some food storage--super cool gift! They also gave us tickets for the whole family to see Wicked in Louisville this May. We are soooooooo excited!!

Loving grandad
The next day we went to Debbie Oller's work party with the kids. They had a blast!

We were freezing, but the kids were all smiles
