Yeah for me!!

This Christmas was MUCH better than last year's. At this time 12 months ago, we were snowed in with over 12" of powder and the power went out. Seems like it might be fun since we played board games by candlelight and had a wonderful dinner planned. Unfortunately, December is very COLD and after a few hours, we bundled in blankets and sweaters as we contemplated how to cook dinner. BBQ? Open fire?

No snow this year and later in the afternoon we headed to Seattle to have dinner with Terri's family. As you can see, everyone really enjoyed the day and all the gifts. We drove up the trailer and spent the night there so we could enjoy waffles with the Hills.

We are so thankful for our blessings of a wonderful family and the birth of our Savior. We hope your Christmas was as great as ours was!
