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.

What special pictures that you will cherish for ever! Hope all is well with you all. Kaia is growing way too quickly. Don't you wish there was a freeze button some days?! What a doll! Love to hear Grandpa Kirk stories. :) Blessings in 2009 to your family.
