SNOW DAY!!!







I think Jeremiah was more excited than anyone because he got to get on his "tractor" to play in the snow. Although we didn't get a ton of the white stuff we did get a lot of ice! Santa is frozen to our front door! Luke and Owen are camped out on the couch where they'll most likely remain all day. I'm okay with that- for today, and tomorrow they'll be shipped outside to sled or make a snow fort. CHRISTmas break has begun- 1 day early. I've got a million things to do before the big day and our trip. I've had to remind myself many times to slow down and enjoy this time of year. I'm reminded of something our pastor recently wrote and said "I pray your experience of Christmas is not so much of a baby in a manger, but of a risen Christ who calms the wind and waves. Not so much of a present colorfully wrapped under a green tree, but of a sense of belonging and hopeful anticipation for God's reign on earth to reclaim all that is born of darkness. After all, God is in the details".
