Happy New Year! We've had a wonderful holiday season and one of the best surprises was a white Christmas! The snow started Christmas Eve afternoon and went late into the evening. My parents and brother spent the week with us and we all had a fun time together.
A big snowball.
A mini snowman.
Making reindeer food.
My mom made new pajamas for the girls and a bathrobe for Benjamin.
Late Christmas Eve.
Homemade cinnamon rolls for our Christmas breakfast.
We enjoyed a roast beef dinner and pumpkin pie for dessert. Phillip had the week after Christmas off, so we've been spoiled with sleeping in and lots of free time. Now it's time to get back on schedule. I'm looking forward to 2010!
Thank you for stopping by for a visit and the Merry Christmas wishes!

It's good to see you back, Kelli! Sounds like a lovely Christmas.
Hi Kelli~
It's nice to see you back! Every post you do is always such a delight to read. Glad to see you had a fun-filled white Christmas! Your blog is one of the few blogs I instantly read all the way back to the beginning in one sitting; I am sometimes a night owl! :o) You have inspired me to start making my own handmade cards. I'm going to start with Valentine's soon. I've never been one to follow through with scrapbooking (I'd rather just do traditional photo albums), but I like paper crafts so I'm going to give it a try. Enjoy January and your regularily scheduled week. My motto this year is to ~embrace ALL the seasons~ .. bitter cold ones too! Take care!
With warm wishes,

Hi, Kelli -
I always like to see you back again and have a chance to peek into your home and life a bit. I'm so glad you had such a nice Christmas - and what a treat to have a White Christmas!

Oh I bet you wish you were back in So. Dak. We had a blizzard starting on Christmas Eve and running throughout Christmas Day. :-D
Glad to see you had some Christmas snow.
Your Christmas cinnamon rolls look delicious!!
Isn't it a treat for Texas to get snow? My sister used to live there and her kids were so excited to come to our house for Christmas so they could play in the snow.
Hi Kelli. Happy New Year and those cinnamon rolls look great. Every time you make them, they look so good. Have a great week.
Happy New Year to you, Kelli!
Looks like you had a very merry Christmas! What fun to have snow! Your picture of the cinnamon rolls has me thinking I need to make some ~ They look sooo good!
Warm Blessings!
Wow - a white Texas Christmas...that is something special!!
It looks and sounds like a wonderful time.
Glad you had a lovely family Christmas and best wishes for a bright new year 2010 to you!
The picture of you house looks like a postcard. Hard to believe we have been going to the beach.
Cheers - Joolz
Wonderful photos, Kelli. Happy new year.
It is good to see a post from you. Your table looks good as do those cozy pjs and robe. I am so happy that you had a week with your parents and brother. Those cinnamon rolls look so good.

Wow, snow, wow, your Christmas table looked so beautiful. Glad you had to down time Christmas week. I just want you to know that you were the very first blog (last year) that I found, and are the reason I started blogging. Thank you. kdc
Dear, dear Kelli! I know all of your blogging friends are glad to see your Christmas pictures today. I can say I sure have been anxious to see and hear from you.
My favorite picture was the one of your house. I have to agree with "Joolzmac"....it looks like your home would make a beautiful post card.
My other favorite was the kids in their jammies that their grandma made. Your mom is a wonderful seamstress. I was amazed at how much the kids have grown. Grace is turning into a young lady right before our eyes. She is beautiful and so are the others.
I hope everyone at the Winn house has a happy, healthy 2010.
Love, Debbi
Welcome back to the blogosphere :o)! It looks like you had a wonderful holiday season. Happy New Year to you and your family.

Hi Kelli - I'm so glad you enjoyed a white Christmas - we had cold hard rain, but it didn't matter since we were all snug and happy at home! We made the best of it and played games for hours whilst munching on Christmas goodies and consuming gallons of hot chocolate and tea! I love your pictures and seeing a new post! May the Lord bless you in the New Year!
Heather
I hope this new year can bring to you and your family all the joy, good health and happiness in the world!
It sounds like you had a lovely Christmas. What a neat Christmas gift of snow!
Kelli
Happy New Year! What a treat to have snow Christmas Eve! Looks like you had a wonderful holiday.
Happy New Year, Kelli!
I don't know if I've ever commented before, but I've been following for a little while, and perused this last crop of pictures with delight. Looove the kids in their new flannel jammies/robe made by their grandmother with love in every stitch, no doubt.

P.S. My Mum is shy about commenting but linked to your blog from mine and loved it. Of all the others, it was yours she commented on with admiration. ;)
Everything looked so nice for the holidays, good for you. We had snow as well....(Maryland) but I guess you don't get snow as much as we do so good for you....it's always nice to have a White Christmas.
Happy New Year!
Wishing you the best for 2010.

Got a lot of back reading to do, I'll be back!

Hi Kelli,
It looks like your family had a lovely Christmas! I enjoyed your pictures. (Love the snowman!) :o)

OOOOOH....I wish your mom would make Pjs for me too!! I am 5 feet tall and can hardly ever find them short enough! My sewing looks like a turkey did it! The children are SWEET, glad to hear about the new baby. Every child brings a gift. You have a precious site. Cheerio from Phyllis in Sacramento.
