It is hard to believe that Christmas is already past and we are quickly approaching the new year. Today we are enjoying a beautiful winter day in Colorado, I say this since I am warm at home and don't have to drive in the 4-8 inches of snow we are currently getting. We enjoyed a true white Christmas with about 10 inches of snow added to our backyard that day, and with the additional snow we are getting today it will be March before we see grass in our backyard! Nettie and I decided that while John took his morning nap we would shovel the driveway, and by the time we were done, it needed to be done again, but we had fun and will get to go out again this afternoon.
Christmas was nice, we spent Sunday with Ben's family including our brother-in-law Kyle's parents. The kids all had fun and by 7:30, everyone was ready for bed. The kids enjoyed seeing Uncle Ben and Daddy dressed up as Santa's helper, although Nettie was frightened by him at first, she quickly changed her mind. Christmas Eve and Christmas day were filled with Tiffany's family and some Wismer family time. Nettie's favorite part was church which made Ben and Tiffany happy. John will understand more next year, but this year he enjoyed the paper and boxes. We are hoping both kids enjoy all the time with family and friends we get this time of year. We hope that everyone had a Merry Christmas and we wish you the best in 2008.
