Our Christmas

Well, it has been awhile since we have updated the blog. Now that we are getting into a routine, I wanted to give a brief synopsis of our Christmas. The Lord truly blessed us during the holiday season with a white Colorado Christmas, a healthy newborn, and Mom and Dad who came in for 3 weeks to celebrate Rebekah's birth as well as Christmas with us. Cameron and Holly were able to come for about four days as well just before Christmas!! The children were in heaven having Pops and Mia for 3 whole weeks!!

Other than sitting around the fire and playing in the playroom with the children, we enjoyed a Christmas Eve service at New Life Church and followed that with a Christmas Eve Dinner (one of the many wonderful meals Mom prepared while she was here). We woke up BEFORE DAWN, (thanks to Wesley), to see what Santa had brought. Eventually, we got around to Christmas brunch and began putting together numerous items for the children. It was a long but wonderful day!!

Before and after Christmas, Dad got a chance to walk and run in some chilly conditions but loved the view of the Rockies on his treks. Mom stayed busy cooking, doing laundry, and holding Rebekah. Wes and Brigham kept Pops busy with their battles they set up in the basement and Susanna colored and colored and colored in her various art books. A few days were even warm enough to take the kids to the park while they tried out their new bikes and trike.

All and all, Christmas was spent being together and celebrating first and foremost Christ's birth and also the birth of our Christmas Gift, Rebekah Evelyn.
