Snow and more snow!

Poor papa had to work all week so he missed the some of the power ranger shows as well as the cool dance show that Matt and Ben put on.

Emma came to babysit while I got a break and went to work for a couple of hours on Friday.

Saturday was after the first storm that let us try out the sleds.

We all had fun.

Ben was the guardian of the swamps!!  

 We then went to the swimming pool in the afternoon.  Papa's first day off!!

Sunday the church was closed due to the second storm with hight winds that was rolling in.  Matt and Ella had a great time together while the Gaudets came by for an outside play/visit.

Thanks for stopping by, we can't wait to see you all again soon!  The MacNeills. 

Santa came!

The best surprise came when papa got home from work early because one of the other doctors (whose kids are grown up) came in really early so Steve could be home for the kids!! How nice is that? Thank you Dr. Cameron.  

Ben loved everything that he opened.  I have not seen such smiles on his face.

Golden power ranger!!

Lobster teddy bears and a candy cane. Sam is very happy!

The purple dragon is what Matt was excited about!

Thank you gramma for unwrapping Sam's gifts.

Thomas on the other hand helped mama open her stocking.

And Thomas helped open most of papa's stocking too!
