Christmas is such a special time of year, and with kids around it makes it even better. Even amid the giving and receiving may we never forget the true meaning of Christmas. I’m so thankful our Lord humbled Himself and came to give his life for us.

Before my parents went back to Michigan we celebrated Christmas with them. It was nice for my parents to see the kids open their presents.

For our birthdays, my parents took Justin and me, along with our spouses, to the Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs. We went the day after Thanksgiving, and a good friend of ours watched the kids for us. The Broadmoor is such a special place and is so beautiful. They had everything decorated for Christmas and had their tree lighting ceremony while we were there. Thanks so much mom and dad for taking us! We had a wonderful time together.

Justin and I celebrated our birthdays on the Monday before Thanksgiving by getting together at our house for dinner. Then we went to Justin and Emily’s apartment for cake. Emily had this awesome cake made for Justin in the shape of a diver. I enjoy celebrating my b-day with my brother.

For Thanksgiving, everyone came to our house, and Justin fried a turkey for us. It was beautiful outside, perfect for frying a turkey. We had a nice day together as a family.

It started raining last night and then it turned to snow. It has been snowing on and off ever since. Naomi is at school, so I got Esther and Ethan all dressed up and we went for a walk to the mailbox, and then played in the back yard. Ethan loves the snow and cried when he had to come in.
