Christmas

We had a very merry Christmas these past weeks. We were delighted to have Richard and Brandolyn and the kids with us for the holiday and had a fantastic time just being together and sharing the season.


This was Lizzie Jane's first Christmas and she was loving the lights and bows, as expected, so any wrappings went to her eager hands for exploration.

And Christopher enjoyed his beloved Mickey Mouse Puzzle Cube from Santa that he asked for. The letter he wrote to Santa was very heartfelt and his good boy efforts were rewarded.

The super duper highlight of the season was the snow. It started to come down in the storm Christmas eve and continued through the night.


It was enough to play in Christmas morning but now freeze us, so it was perfect. I was sure that it would melt by noon, but the wonderful white stayed with us for almost a week in some places.


The children loved going in the snow again and again, and Chris kept wanting to play in it even after is all melted.


We just had such a wonderful Christmas, we hope all of you out there were touched by the birth of the Savior as well and will be part of the Spirit of service and love all year long.
