Christmas Post

I worked over Christmas, so am just now getting my Christmas post up. Even though I was gone almost all day, we still managed to make it to the Christmas Eve Service at church.

I woke up Christmas morning and my voice was gone. But I didn't let that stop my from joining in on the Christmas activities. We went to my parents house and spent the day there. I had to leave around 5:00pm to go out on a call. The weather was starting to get bad and by the time I got back to my parents house, it was snowing. We ended up staying the night there, since the weather was bad.

Since I was under the weather, I didn't take many pictures, but here is Cara in her Christmas sleeper I bought at consignment when she was just a few months old. A few years ago my mom got the whole family  (my mom, dad, my sister, her husband, Cephas and me) matching pajamas. A few years later, she found another pair of the same pants, and as children are added to the family, she makes a pair for them too. The ones Cara is wearing used to be Ethan's. They are getting a little worn and Terre and I think that next year it is time for new ones all around.

The day after Christmas we woke up and it was snowing outside. It was nice to be at my parent's house, but bad because we didn't have any of our snow gear. Cara only got outside in her daddy's arms. Maybe next time, we will let her actually play in it.

We hope that all of you were able to spend the holidays with loved ones. I am looking more forward to New Years, since I will be off. I plan to get some more pictures too, since I will hopefully be feeling better then.
