Merry Christmas 2009

Merry Christmas from the McNally family.

Snow

OK these pictures are HORRIBLE quality but I had to just capture the amount of snow we have gotten this year. I thought last year was alot, oh my goodness no. Last year looked like a dusting of salt compared to this year. From the pictures you can see the snow is up to Morgan's knees. It has been so crazy, but so much fun. One evening Brandan went outside with Ryan at 1030 to shovel the driveway. If we didn't shovel at that time it would of been way to crazy in the morning to get the car out. CRAZY, CRAZY. So much fun. Now I'm praying for another white Christmas.

Fire station

A few weeks ago our car broke down right in front of a fire station. There are many reasons why God totally protected us. Out of this very frustrating situation came a fun field trip for my kids.

New Tradition

I found this really cute idea somewhere that I am going to use this Thanksgiving. You take a table cloth and a cloth marker. Everyone that is celebrating Thanksgiving with you has to sign the tablecloth and write what they are thankful for. I thought this was a great idea. It is a wonderful tradition that can be passed down for years.

Traditions

I think traditions are so important. Traditions are what memories are made of. I want my kids to look back on their childhood and remember that we sang Happy Birthday to Jesus every year on Christmas. Christmas cookies put out for Santa every year before bed were a must. New jammies and a game that we played on Christmas Eve were a must have. Decorating the house the day after Thanksgiving.
These are just a couple of the traditions I have set up for our family. I would love to add some more. Would you please share what your family does every year to make those special memories?
I now know I have five readers, so I'm expecting at least five comments.

Just can't cut it this year

Last November it was a hit. I loved blogging every day for a month. I lived for what I was going to write down everyday. Reading all of my other friends who took this challenge was so much fun.
Well, not this year. I just can't cut it!! I'm just not feeling the blogs this year. I have lots to write about but just not into it.
For those two people that read my blog I will continue posting just not the November challenge.

Computer

We are back. While our computer is still very sick he is back at half speed. I will use this to post a quick post. I'm hoping from here on out in November my blogging will be a go.
Oh computer how I have missed you.
