A Very White Christmas

Well, we made it in and out of Colorado safely for Christmas. So many people had their holiday plans changed; we are thankful that ours were relatively unaffected. Our drive home was a bit sporty for the first 100 miles, lots of other cars spinning out, but after that, the roads were completely dry. We had a wonderful time with the family. Here are Jody & Whitney Christmas morning. They were in remarkably good moods considering that their plans for Georgia got cancelled.

The boys got a kitchen/patio set from Santa. It has a "manly" grill on the patio side. Just trying to teach the boys to follow their dad's great example - kitchens aren't just for girls!

Other random thoughts...this week I kept thinking about the idea that you get out of things what you put into them. Whether it's the little start-up church that we've been going to or just making a life and new friends in Utah, it seems to be a recurring theme. Then in church this week, the pastor spoke of "without a gardener, there is no garden." Once again, same theme...thanks God, got it.

So anyways, looking forward to what's in store for us in 2007. Happy New Year everyone!
