Christmas Crawler

We woke up to a wonderful white Christmas!
We had a great day! We started out with the Bible account of our Savior's birth and talked about how we celebrate Christmas because of Him. The kids have been very grateful this year with the gifts that were given to them. We have been blessed greatly.

We got to talk on the phone to family members that live far away. That was really nice. We miss our families, especially during the holidays.
Then we hosted our dinner for friends who also wouldn't be seeing family for Christmas this year. It was a very full house, but it was filled with love.
We also got a nice surprise from our little Avery. She started crawling! I got some video of us playing with her and her winding up to crawl. Now, she's moving along much faster and it's only been a few days.

LOVE your blog and seeing how the boys have changed and grown, and how much the same they look too. Baby Avery is beautiful. 78# WOW! That is amazing - you look wonderful Dan! Crystal, you continue to be super mom/super wife!
