Oh friends, let me start by apologizing for not updating this more often. There are so many Christmas stories to share, I don't know where to start. We so enjoyed our first Christmas as a family of 6. We headed to Missouri to spend time with Layne's folks and had a great time. The Lord blessed us with waking up to a white Christmas which blessed these Alabama children. It was a toss up as to whether to play in the snow or open presents. (The snow we get in Alabama is gone in an hour or so, so they were worried it would be gone.) Since it was about 18 outside, we talked them in to presents first in hopes that it would warm up.
After presents were done though, we bundled up and headed out (it had warmed up to a balmy 21. Drake, Luke and Grandpa had scouted out a good sledding hill the day before, so we headed there. The first thing Alex wanted to do was make a snow angel, though there really wasn't enough snow for that. After we showed her the sled, she got excited and didn't hold back. She hiked up the hill just like a trooper and slid down on the sled with her brother, screaming "rapido" the whole way down. She was hooked. She loved it and the cold didn't seem to affect her until her glove fell off. Just a minute in that cold and she was done. I am sure her little body had never felt cold like that. We headed back in and enjoyed some HOT chocolate.
All 4 kids had a blast and it was a Christmas Day they won't forget.
