It's beginning to look ALOT like Christmas!





Today we woke up to about 7 inches of snow and when all is said and done we should have around 12-16"! We knew it was coming so we devoted most of the day on Saturday to visiting Santa, looking at Christmas lights and gathering supplies so that we could be snowed in today. We took Myah back to the farm where we bought our pumpkins and Christmas tree to visit Santa and Mrs. Claus, it is the sweetest place. This family has turned the whole upstairs of this huge old barn into Santa's village. They take a picture of each child and donate all of the profits to a local church. Myah could not wait to tell Santa that she wanted candy and a doll. She sat right up on his lap and wasn't one bit afraid. There was a light crowd when we were there so we weren't pressured to hurry at all. We then went to the donut hut on their grounds and had hot chocolate and donuts. This place has thought of everything, we have found a new family tradition that is for sure! It is a treasure! On Friday night we had a beautiful date night out with some of our dear friends, we went to a huge church in our area and attended the Phillips, Craig and Dean concert. They were wonderful, so uplifting and inspiring! We have their first cassette tape, that is how old it is! So today we will spend building our Gingerbread house, baking cookies, candy and sipping on hot cocoa! Of COURSE the kids are begging to go out and play in this gorgeous weather! We have some good hills in our yard and I am sure the neighbors will be joining us in sledding! Daddy is off today and we are just going to enjoy the day together. If Dayton is lucky there just might be a snow day tomorrow! So as Myah's favorite Christmas song goes, "Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!"
