IT’S SNOWING!
We’re having a white Christmas. Kelsey was dreaming of a white Christmas. And her dream has come true.
We’ve had a nice homey, family Christmas atmosphere in our house. It may not be Christmas anywhere else, but it is here!
This house has so many nice elements that make it cozy and homey. The gas fireplace is a big one. I love looking over and seeing the fire burning in the fireplace. It just makes me feel good and warm and secure.
And the windows are so big and beautiful and let us see the outside while we’re warm and comfy inside.
And now we have snow! It snowed quite a bit one day last week, and the kids went out and threw snowballs at each other.
But today the snow was really good packing snow, and there was lots of it. It snowed almost all day. So they went out and built snowmen.

Each snowman had its own unique personality.
Kelsey and Morgan named this guy Johnson.
I thought Anna’s looked like Cleopatra.
Fiona’s looked a little bit like her.

Fiona got in some photography practice using the adorable Abby as her subject.

























"Oh that God would give every mother a vision of the glory and splendor of the work that is given to her when a babe is placed in her bosom to be nursed and trained! Could she have but one glimpse in to the future of that life as it reaches on into eternity; could she look into its soul to see its possibilities; could she be made to understand her own personal responsibility for the training of this child, for the development of its life, and for its destiny,--she would see that in all God's world there is no other work so noble and so worthy of her best powers, and she would commit to no other's hands the sacred and holy trust given to her." -JR Miller
