Christmas Snow

The Strope family had a very memorable Christmas this year! To begin with it snowed 14 inches on Christmas Eve and then Christmas Day was eventful as well. Jack and I both spent the day puking! It hit us both during the night. Jack informed me that he puked on his pillow and blankie then ran to the bathroom and made it to the toilet! He never came down stairs to tell me he was sick. The night before Aaron and I had informed Jack that if he came downstairs in the middle of the night and Santa was here, Santa would take his presents away. Well, I guess the threat worked, but I felt horrible that he didn't come and get in my bed.

So, it took us several days to get outside and play in the snow. When we finally did, Jack had a great time and Molly squealed most of the time because her hands were cold and wet. Maybe next time she will keep her gloves on. The snow had melted quite a bit, so the snow was great for making snowmen.



Molly liked the snowman before we decorated him. Now she refuses to go anywhere near him.


THis picture of Molly is not the best. The snow had just started, it was blowing 40 mph, and she was wearing this hideous hand-me-down snowsuit. She reminds me of the little brother "Randy" on the movie, "Christmas Story." Especially when she would fall down in the snow and cry because she could not get up.
