More pictures

Just thought I would post some more pictures of our snow here. There is a picture of our house with the snow falling. One of our backyard to show how much had fallen. Then there is Jacob shoveling snow. He does a pretty good job. Also, he is pretty willing to help. Hopefully that will continue. Megan helps sometimes too. This was all taken on Tuesday. Because of the snow the kids had a delay start at school. So, they started an hour later, but got out at the same time. After school, they went sledding behind our street. I only got a picture of Jacob because Megan wouldn't go again. Maybe next time I will get her. We are suppose to be getting more snow tomorrow (Friday). The kids have been out everyday playing in the snow and making ramps to go down. I am so happy to see them really enjoying it all. We are all hoping that we will have fresh snow on Christmas morning.

Speaking of Christmas I believe that I am all ready for it. I finally finished my shopping today. I just need to wrap one more gift and I am officially down. Even though I am ready in that way. I am sure missing my family. This is going to be a little tough for me but I know that I am right where God has me and wants me to be. I have had some tough days that makes it really hard for me to have joy. Then I have to remember that I have a choice to have a pity party or to look to my Rock for joy. I am choosing to look to Him and continue to pull strength from him. I am thankful for that.
I pray that each of you have a wonderfully blessed Christmas. Don't forget the real reason for it all. Jesus did it all for us! That is what I am most thankful for.

Merry Christmas! Love you all!!
