This was our first Christmas (since having kids) that we spent away from home. We headed to Pine Valley where we rented the Dixie college cabin with a lot of JP's family. It was fun to have a white Christmas and the boys loved being able to play in the snow. It was also a little rough since JP was commuting back to work to cover for an employee that quit just in time for the holidays and I was house-bound with Nash (and stressing about my brand new church calling), but it was still nice to get away for a few days!! This was the view from the front porch:
We had to buy snow clothes for the first time and I'd bundle the boys from head to toe before sending them out, but I failed them in the glove department--they weren't waterproof and they'd come home with cold hands and we'd dry their gloves out on the heater before returning for another round of playing. Jack especially couldn't get enough. They loved sledding the most and Ryan had the first casualty on the hill when his sled got turned around and he crashed into someone and ended up with a nice shiner.
Christmas morning was a success since Santa found us and filled all our stockings. Jack got a new bike and Ryan got a scooter and his favorite--Legos. Nash got lots of treats and some new bath toys. We had a lot of fun playing games, singing, reading Christmas stories, having a talent show, decorating gingerbread men, decorating our tree, and enjoying everyone's company.
