Christmas in Quincy

After celebrating Christmas with my mom in Leavenworth, we packed everyone up and drove to Quincy to spend time with Mike's family. Both of mike's sisters and there families were also there. 5 cousins this year :-) They have so much fun together. It snowed all day while we opened presents and played inside, so the next morning (boxing day),we bundled all the kids up and went sledding around the neighborhood. Oliver had so much fun pulling all the little kids around. Little Lily even got in on the fun!

Christmas in Leavenworth

We spent the two days before Christmas is Leavenworth with my mom and Lulu. There was over a foot of fresh snow and everything was decorated for the holidays. We went for a horse drawn sleigh ride on Christmas eve. It was a glorious sunny day and it couldn't have been more picturesque. Oliver loved it. He sat completely still on my lap (keeping me warm) and took it all in. Liam would have loved it if he hadn't slept through the whole thing! Fortunately there were two dogs running around after he woke up, so he was pretty happy. We had so much fun sledding, wandering around the shops, eating sausage and drinking beer, and watching Christmas movies. My mom even brought a little tree to decorate so Santa would still find us. She also made a full Christmas dinner before we left and we microwaved it for Xmas dinner. It was delicious! We all had a really wonderful time.
