We spent Christmas morning with just the kids and then my mom, Bob and Lara came over for the rest of the day. We didn't get very many pictures.

I just realized I still have a Christmas background up. It is the farthest thing from winter feeling here in NC but I am praying for snow. This has been the warmest winter I can remember and it's so very depressing. We have gone skiing twice this month though and that has been wonderful. Nowhere particularly exciting, just to a very small hill in NC but the plan was to get the kids skiing so that next year when we take a trip out west everyone is able to enjoy their time.

The kids have done amazing! And so have my mom and Chad helping them learn to ski. I have spent all of both days just holding Reese and watching. If I can ever figure out how I'll post some videos of them skiing. I think all the pictures are on our phones and I haven't downloaded them but will try to soon.

I generally hate pictures of myself so much that I can't bear to post them but my sweet little man looks so cute in this picture I couldn't not post it! Although he is definitely all boy he also has such a tender heart.

Continuing with my really behind posts, this is us with Chad's family on Christmas Eve.

Earlier in the day Chad took the kids to see his mom. I think that has been his only time doing anything with all four of the kids yet. There aren't a whole lot of things I love more than watching the Carolina Panthers play football so when my dad asked me if I wanted to go to the game with him on Christmas Eve I was so excited. Chad graciously took all the kids (the only time I'd ever been away from Reese other than running to the grocery store) up to Winston Salem and I met everyone there after the game.

We went to see the lights in McAdenville before Christmas. I've wanted to go since we moved back here 7 years. It wasn't very exciting, I wouldn't recommend it. It was fun one time though to walk around a see a few lights.

Just a tiny bit late, but here is our Christmas card picture for this year.
