Christmas Eve







I know these posts are a little out of order, but here are some pics of us making cookies at Uncle Mike's house with Sammy and Christina.

Riding Molly




The girls got to ride Molly, one of my parent's horses, the other day. They were so cute until Hannah fell off and decided she did not want to get back on. She didn't get hurt at all...she actually landed on her feet, but it scared her of course. Tough, yet wise, old Grandpa Cliff insisted she get back on and she eventually was laughing and having a good time again.

Big Momma on the Wii




My mom got a Wii fit and here are some pics of me trying it for the first time. It says I am really unbalanced, but we'll blame it on the fact that I am seriously "front heavy".

Christmas 2009
















What a wonderful day!!! Not only were we able to celebrate the birth our Jesus Christ, but we were able to do it our families. Our day started early at 7am. We opened presents just the 4-8/9th's of us. Our girls are at such a fun age for opening presents. They recieved new toothbrushes, some toys, and last but not least, daddy's huge surprise present...a jumper thing, as Esther calls it (also known to most of us a trampline).

We headed over to the Gatewood's for a yummy breakfast and more presents. I think the girl's most special present they recieved all day was their first official Bibles and little carrying bags for taking them to church. It was great getting to see both of my brothers and their families on Christmas day.

We were able to take a nap in the afternoon before headigng for our third, but not least, present opening with the Winter family. The girls both got new "big girl" panties and I am looking forward to getting Hannah into them as a little incentive. We ate dinner at the Pelagia Restraunt at the International Mall and it was awesome! I wasn't able able to read most of the menu, since it didn't contain words like "spaghetti" or "Macaroni & Cheese", but it was still really nice to get the whole Winter family together, no matter what was in the food we were eating.

We hope you all had as blessed Christmas as we did! Looking forward to the New Year and what it brings!!!





The Big Switch

So here we go! I am venturing away from Wordpress and starting my new blog here. This is a huge change for me as I am not really "computer" wise. This site allows me to upload more pictures in much less time and also allows free video. I'll try to update this one more often since it won't take 5 minutes per pic! If you would like to see my old pics, you can visit us at jkwinter.wordpress.com.
