We have been having a wonderful time with family and friends. Thunder's brother, wife and 2 kids arrived on Saturday and we had a great time talking and hanging out.
We also got a massive snowstorm and had to take advantage!
On Sunday, Thunder's parents drove in as well. We had a great time being together. It was so fun for our kids to play with their only cousins. Cloudburst and Sunshine had fun getting their baby cousin to laugh- what a cuddly, cute baby!
We celebrated Christmas early with Thunder's brother, since they had to fly out before Christmas Day.
On Tuesday, Thunder's brother left and my sister flew in from Texas. Since I am about half way along in my pregnancy, I can't do some of the fun games with the kids we used to do. Thank goodness Aunt J came to visit!
On Christmas Eve, we attended a Christmas Eve service at a Presbyterian church. Then we came home and read the Nativity story from the Bible. The kids kept begging Thunder to be the donkey. Why? "Because it has to be a boy, and Papa is the Wise Man." So, being the nice Dad he is, Thunder was the donkey...
...and, then Papa was the donkey too.
We ate a wonderful Christmas dinner today with Randall and Michelle (with a smoked turkey- you've gotta try that!) We feel so blessed to be surrounded by family and friends and wish you all a very
