Christmas 2008...

has come and gone way too fast. We had a great time at Tim's parent's house on the lake - it looked magical with all of the snow! Then Christmas night we headed to the farm, we didn't even think about fog. The 1-1/2 hour drive ended up taking us 3-1/2 hours and we ended up getting in around 12:30am. Thankfully, Kaia slept the entire way. Kaia was baptised in a private ceremony at the little church I grew up in, with Uncle Steve and Auntie Stef as her godparents. It was pretty special that she wore the same baptism dress that my Dad and I both wore. Uncle Steve put together a great video documenting Kaia's first Christmas at the farm - it's something we will cherish forever!

The Snells on Christmas morning -
yes that is a scratch across Tim's nose, which is what he
gets for kickboxing the day before Christmas!
I guess I "should have seen the other guy."

Tim and I did go sledding, but found it was more work and
less fun than when we were kids.

Snow Dogs!

With snow falling faster than I've ever seen it fall, the dogs frolicked and played the puppy-dog way!

Christmas Card Time!

Tim's gone hunting and had been growing out a beard for the mountains, so we will just be sending out a pic of Kaia this year.... here are a few of our takes. And what Christmas card session would be complete without a cry? Definitely a Wigen tradition!

Santa Claus is Coming to Town!

Kaia loves to sing-a-long to Christmas carols. WARNING - you will have to excuse my singing voice...yikes!

Thanksgiving Weekend and Decorating for Christmas




Kaia wasn't quite sure what to think of Auntie Stef's favorite Christmas doll "Elfie"
