It's a New Year Already

Happy New Year's Eve!  Wow, it's already 2013...

Today, we woke up to snow!  We had about an inch to two inches; enough to go sledding, which did make our day.  This evening, the whole family went out and sledded on our hills right by the house.  The snow had gotten harder so the sledding was pretty fast, but fun.  When we came in, we started making carameled apples, but sadly, they didn't turn out right. ( cheap caramel )  So it goes, though.

We had a great, white Christmas, by the way.  Dad took us 3 kids out a few days before Christmas and we cut down a real tree!  Yep, we took a little bit of time to find the right one, then we cut it and put it in the pick up.  After driving a little ways, it fell out.  And again it fell out after we loaded it the 2nd time.  It was neat because we walked through snow to get it.  We were all glad that the tree wasn't any bigger, it barely fit in the house!  If you are wondering, it was 10 1/2 feet tall, 7 feet wide, and 5 feet deep.  Again I say--big!
We went out to my Dad's parent's house on the Sunday before Christmas, then to Mom's mother's house on Christmas Eve.  We were home on Christmas day.

So now that Christmas is passed, we will welcome the new year tomorrow.  We will also enjoy a revival beginning at our church.  Happy New Year!  : )
