Snow Time

We started a new tradition this year and went to the snow for Christmas. We had a ton of fun! We headed up to a cabin on Christmas Eve morning and stayed for three days. There was the perfect amount of snow outside the cabin for the kiddos to play and sled in the snow.  When they were tired, we'd drink hot chocolate and get warmed up for the next round.  Bill built them a sledding area behind the cabin - complete with a little hill to stop them at the end.  They thought it was great.  And of course we had "Pie in the Sky" Pizza for dinner on Christmas Eve!  We read the Christmas story, acted out the scenes with Jesus at the manger and talked to the kiddos about the true meaning of Christmas - Jesus Christ!

On Christmas morning we had breakfast and opened some presents.    We then went out to do some sledding on some bigger hills.  It was such a beautiful day!  We didn't need our jackets at times. 

Heading up to the mountans was a spur of the moment idea which Bill thought of, and we liked it so much we are thinking of doing it again next year!  What great memories we made!  What a blessing!  I praise God for all that He gives us and the joy we have as a family!!

The kiddos went up and down the hill, hauling their own sleds, they loved it.
