Merry Christmas

Snow at our house 2 days before Christmas



Christmas Day we went sledding up by the Sandia Ski area, about 40 minutes away. The temp on our car reading said 10 degrees and it was windy so it was even colder than that. Everyone had fun. Derek amazed me by going down a huge hill by himself and wanting to do it over and over again. Darci had fun walking in the snow until she fell face first in some soft powder.

This video is the drive up...


Here's some sledding before my camera battery died. I didn't get much of the big hill, but we'll go back in a few weeks and take more.













Christmas was a lot of fun this year. The kids got a lot of fun things and were happy with everything they got. And its always a good feeling when we talk to them about the true meaning of Christmas and about Jesus and they GET it and they tell the story of Jesus themselves.

I found Derek a "cheap" bakugan for $3 and he's been carrying it around with him everywhere. The necklace I'm wearing is my Christmas present from Derek that he made at school.


Paige got her princess bike. Darci just walked around the room everywhere talking to herself and having a good time.


We didn't wake them up early on Christmas day, and they all slept in until 8am. Kevin and Derek got their dinosaurs from Santa.


Darci loved getting into everyone else's presents, especially the wrapping paper.


We let them all sleep out in the TV room on Christmas Eve. None of them had naps, so they went to bed pretty easy, which was a good thing because we still had some wrapping to do.
