As promised in our Christmas letter, I'm going to try and update out blog throughout the year. Christmas at our house was a load of fun and surprises. Levi received a RipStik (like a skateboard), Brandon received an indoor single person trampoline, Seth received an electric guitar, and Bailey received a doll house. Grandma and Grandpa gave them a Wii and Granny and PaPa gave them them some cool legos, a rocket car, a tea set, and a flag football set. I'm really trying to teach the kids not to be materialistic, but it is a struggle at Christmas. Our neighbors decided to take the money they would have spent on Christmas and give it to a charity (except for one small gift per person). That may be a good lesson for our kids in the coming years.....
I must admit, I was surprised at how much fun the Wii has become for adults. We recently had our Bible Study group over for a potluck dinner and the adults had more fun using the Wii than the kids.
If you haven't had a chance to review our trip, you can still check the links at the bottom of the blog or the pictures. You can still read about my struggle changing the toilet on the RV (if you are really interested) or our amazing trips to some of the beautiful places throughout Canada and the US.
We sure hope everyone had a blessed Christmas and we all took time away from the distractions of Christmas to ponder the greatest gift to all mankind: Christ the Savior.
