Our White Christmas

A few days after Christmas I happened to be upstairs in my bedroom when I noticed it was getting windy outside. After looking closer I noticed little white flakes floating around. Could it be? I ran out to the loft where the kids were on the computers and looked out toward the front of the house just to confirm my suspicions then shouted "it's snowing!!!" We all ran downstairs and out the front door to witness the magic of snow! We couldn't believe it, my kids have never seen snow actually falling from the sky. None of us were prepared for how cold it was! Some of the kids were still in there pj's, most were barefoot and all of us were freezing! Just as we were headed inside it started coming down really hard, it stuck to the kids sweatshirts and their hair, and even the ground for a minute. The whole time I just stood their laughing and enjoying the moment of pure amazement with my kids! I hope this was a day that they will never forget.

Christmas Ham

Lyndi decided to get in on the "talent show" we informally have before opening up our family Christmas gifts. Her cousins did a cheer so she thought she should too. Then Gramma got her to sing "Twinkle little star". This little girl surprises me every day, she is quickly outgrowing her shyness and loves to be the center of attention. Where did that come from? I feel so lucky to have been blessed with such a sweet angel!
