Sledding on Christmas Day--A Holiday Tradition!

   This hill has been a source of laughter, joy, triumph, excitement and its fair share of tears as it has trained generations of sledders.  It has almost always (unless we've been snowless) been the source of Christmas Day entertainment for the kids of each era.  He are a just a few images of kids, young and old, experiencing the joys of sledding on Christmas Day 2013!

If you are forty years old and still sledding on the same hill just as you did as a kid, you realize that getting up isn't quite as easy as you remember...

Happy Birthday, James!!

My Sweet Baby James is EIGHT today!!  He is such a sweet boy and continues to amaze us with his thoughtful questions and natural wonder for how things work or grow.  We definitely get a fresh view of the world through his bright blue eyes and we are blessed to have him in our family.  We are also thankful that God gave us at least one child who falls blissfully asleep within minutes of his head hitting the pillow--quite different from his sisters!  We offered to take James out for a nice birthday dinner tonight, but he really just wanted to stay home and eat Mac & Cheese and that is what we did!
