We enjoyed a very windy and snowy Christmas this year at home. Christmas Eve was spent with my family at aunt Cathy's house and Kendrick was very excited to get home and go to bed early so Santa could come. My brother Alan and his wife Chauna spent the night as they have been doing for a few years now.
Our kids are really blessed to have so many people that love them and that think about them for Christmas. It's important for my kids to understand the true meaning of Christmas and that it is not all about receiving gifts. Cohen is still to young for this but every year Kendrick cleans out his toy box and decides what he does not play with anymore that he can give away to make room for the new toys Santa is bringing. We then find a shelter or someone who can benefit from Kendrick's good choices. I love spending time with Kendrick deciding what to give away. He makes the decision all on his own on what to keep and give away and I am impressed with what a big heart my little man has.
We hope everyone enjoys their holidays as much as we are. We miss our family that live out of state and can't wait to see some of you soon for a day on the slopes. Travis is excited to give his new skis a test run :)
