Lydia's Christmas Songs

Lydia sings in the Children's choir at church. They had practiced some Christmas songs, but did not get to sing them on Sunday due to the bad weather. I thought it would be great for Lydia to do a mini-concert for us! It is another day of cold and snow, but we ventured out to walk to church to take lunch to Jon. It was sunny and beautiful out!

This week has been crazy weather in Oak Harbor. We have had lasting snow for several days now. The roads have been so icy and slick. We have been home most days staying warm from the freezing cold temperatures. We even had to cancel church today. School was closed for three days straight. It has been fun to see the snow, and I would love to have a white Christmas, but we are feeling a bit couped up from not driving anywhere! It has allowed me to start and finish some wanted projects like scrapbooking and Christmas Cards, etc.. For that I am grateful!

As we anticipate the celebration of our Savior's birth, I think that this weather has allowed us to be more calm and relaxed this season. We have not been too caught up in the hustle and bustle of buying presents and worrying about last minute stuff. It has forced us to enjoy time as a family and just "be" at home. I am thankful for that. Here are some pictures of recent times and snow pictures will come soon too! Merry Christmas to all!
