On Christmas morning we awoke to a beautiful blanket of soft, fluffy snow. The flakes were the kind that you might see in a movie. We had a wonderful morning, enjoying each other's company, having fun opening gifts and a great breakfast. This was the first Christmas without Uncle Joe. We were worried how Aunt Kathy would fair, but she has been a trooper so far. That is not to say that it is not hard for her, but it is good to have that behind us.The day after Christmas cousin Evan came to stay the night. It is really fun getting to spend more than an hour or two with him. He is such a great young man. It is easy love them.
We took Evan, Ethan, Ellie and Christy sledding. Christy was not too sure she wanted to go, but was glad that she did. We found a great place that has a nice bit of hills, but also a reasonable climb back up. Also, the stand of trees just west of it blocks most of the wind. The kids enjoyed sledding for several hours. They sipped on hot mint tea as we drove to Noodles for dinner. It was a lot of fun.
