An Eight Year Old, a Six Year Old, and a Four Year Old Tell the Christmas Story

Our house can be crazy, but the kids are learning something.  If you want to watch the videos of the kids telling the Christmas story, you will probably need to turn the volume all the way up.

Snow Day

 We had a couple of days of icy and snowy weather, which meant snow days for the kids.  We made the most of the 2.5 inches of snow we got Tuesday.  I apologize for the photo heavy post; I can't for the life of me figure out how to imbed albums from Google + or Picassa.  If anyone knows, please send me an email.  Enjoy the pics!

Thanksgiving

We went to JD's parents for Thanksgiving, and we had a great time visiting with everyone.  All 17 of us were there, and it was the first time we'd all been together in nearly a year.  It was tight quarters; Julia slept in a bathroom, and we slept in the office.  This seemed to be a great move, though, as Julia slept much better than when we were there for Granny's funeral.  We have so much to be thankful for, and a family with great love for one another is definitely one of those things. We took lots of pictures, and you can see them at this link:
