It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas!!!

With Christmas less than two weeks away, we're still trying to find that "perfect" gift for several on our list! Actually, most of the shopping is done, decorations are in place, and we're just counting the days until school dismisses for Christmas break. They probably call it winter break, but we say Christmas around here! December 19th is the last day of school for us, and we'll be off until January 5th. Yahoooo! (Got it right this time, Charlie)



















During the Thanksgiving break, I bought sling-shots for the boys. They really enjoyed them while they were here, but their Mommy wouldn't let them take the sling-shots home. I can't imagine why! She said something about windows and cars and such, and that there was no way they would want the boys armed with sling-shots around their place. So, I guess they can look forward to using them when they come to visit.
The first weekend of December, we traveled with Gariann, Kirk, Nanci and Ron to Camp Forest Springs. We had a wonderful trip from start to finish. Thousands of laughs. Camp hosted a dinner theater Saturday evening, and we thoroughly enjoyed that. Since we came such a distance, we stayed overnight in the luxurious Ministry Center rooms and they even prepared breakfast for us before we left Sunday morning! I had never been so far north in the winter, and was pleasantly surprised! The snow was beautiful, and although the temperatures were hovering near zero, it was not miserable at all! In fact, although I did take a coat, I never once had to put it on.





















We're enjoying some winter-like weather here at home now. There's a little snow on the ground, with hope for more to come. We're so thankful for our family, friends, home, jobs, health, and so much more! And, in case we don't post again before the 25th, we wish you a very Merry Christmas!
