I believe!

Christmas is here and I am very grateful for the birth of Jesus Christ. This is such a special time of year.

This morning the kids woke up and came into my bedroom to see if they could go downstairs to see what Santa brought. I asked if they were sure if he came. I then told them that I heard a noise outside my window last night on the roof of our addition (which has a slight slope). I told them this past week that this is where Santa would land since the main part of our roof is way too steep. When they looked out the window they couldn't believe their eyes, proof that Santa had been here. There in front of them were sleigh runner marks, hoof prints, and even large boot prints (one set going from the sled and one set coming back). I couldn't believe my eyes!

This is a shot of our addition where Santa landed.


This is the shot showing the marks left by Santa.

Merry Christmas!

Christmas Eve Sledding

Today will be the end of our snow. I thought it would be fun on Christmas Eve to get some sledding in before the rain comes tomorrow and melts it all away. We had a blast. We went just outside the Agriculture Sciences Building. While we were sledding a family from Nepal stopped to watch and I sent them down on the sled. They said they have never been sledding before and it was quite fun to watch. This is what I love about Universities, the exposure to cultural diversity.







We will miss the snow!
