A Wonderful Christmas

Sorry I've been so tardy at posting lately. We have had a whirlwind December. Lots of holiday activities, parties and just "stuff" going on. We were thoroughly spoiled this year with all the wonderful gifts. I think the kids got just about everything they asked for. I truly feel thankful that we don't have to struggle the way so many do.
We had a great time "up North" at Grandma and Papa Nick's. Despite the 11 hour drive - poor Mark - white knuckles the whole way as we watched car after car in the ditch, the kids said the drive was worth it. I can tell they are growing up - there was virtually no complaining, very little "are we there yets." It really was a winter wonderland up there. Lots of snow everywhere. We got in some fun sledding and snowman making. Best of all was that we were spending time all together with family. My brother and sister and their families were there as well at it was so great to hang out with them. Here are some of my favorite pics from the last few weeks.
