We Love the Snow!

We had a special winter surprise after the new year in the form of Hurricane force winds and a LOT of snow. It was one of those storms that really feels like a storm with the wild wind and heavy snow, power outages and car wrecks. It was a lot of fun. Shane worked really hard doing snow removal while Lily and I caught up on our movies and reading. Lily also helped me shovel the sidewalk, which was very cute. Emily, Lily and Michelle made a very special little snowman with M&M eyes, mouth and buttons, Shabone had fun eating the M&M's out of the snowman the next day.

Christmas

Christmas was very joyous in the Bell household this year. Lily was a little apprehensive about Santa coming into the house in the middle of the night but was thankful that he came on Christmas morning. She was so excited about Santa eating the cookies and drinking the milk that she was shaking. Shane was so excited about his new IPod Nano that him and Lily did a Christmas morning celebration dance. We got to spend Christmas Eve with Grandma and Grandpa Bean which was very fun. And we spent Christmas day with Shane's family which was also very fun. We all had a wonderful Christmas filled with family and love. We feel so blessed to have everyone in our lives and so many close friends and family to spend the holidays with.
