ul about. I wish
it didn't feel like we were so busy some weeks, but from what others have told me, it will only get worse as the kids get older.We have church service on Christmas Eve, but not Christmas Day. After church Christmas Eve we took some pictures of the kids all dressed up in front of the tree. (We didn't get any of Doug and I, but I figured we would do that and a whole family picture when my sister we here visiting. Well, they have come and gone and I still don't have those pictures this Christmas. Very frustrating to me. I am going t

(I guess the kids forgot or something. hahah) Since we didn't have church and we didn't have family and we didn't have anywhere to go, we took our time opening presents. It actually took us close to 3 hours to open presents. Not because we had that many, but because the kids wanted to open them up and play with them before they moved on to the next. So,

The temps had hit 21, so it was a heat wave. There was only one other family most of the time we were out there. It was so nice not to have so many people sledding down at the same time. We all had a blast!! There were a couple bumps in the snow towards the bottom, so that stung a bit for the old folks.
We finally headed home because we needed some hot chocolate and to warm up a bit. Then we snuggled on the couch with a movie and had a nice supper together. It was just a nice, relaxing, fun day and the kids even got a couple toys.
I forgot to mention the favorite toy of the day for the kids. It was a tie between their laptop computers (play ones, don't worry) and their dogs (play ones again, but they do bark and wag their tails.) Anna still carries hers around everywhere she goes. We have had to replace the batteries in both already....
