We’ve been un-patiently waiting on this day!
We love the snow! It just wasn’t as special because this first day of the fluffy stuff fell on our favorite person’s birthday, and HE was traveling?
We sent tons of pictures begging him to return soon!
Wintertime Peace
Daddy’s girls love the winter…just more when you are here!
Even though it starts to melt, there is still fun to be had…especially when Nana, Jaydie, and Elijah join us.
I’m not sure if the mud is as evident as it was on this day of thaw!
The weather returned…more snow in the forecast. We made it to the airport in between bands of snow.
Back together, our man has landed in Tennessee!
The next morning snow for us to share.
A fun but cold snow day.
The video of this ride with Nana is absolutely hilarious!
I just enjoy the peaceful feeling snow brings with it.
I enjoy the spirit flowing out of their souls. Winter in the Hollow is magical…
Another season of giving!
We are intrigued with this guy in red!
And…another reason to be asking for all those special gifts because we’ve been so good…
so much faith and belief in this mystery of Santa.
our Christmas play at church was a highlight to our season.
Especially when we could share it with so many special people.
Sweet dear Godmother Janice
Completely humbled by their bravery and complete participation, especially in front of 80 plus people!
