Baby! It's cold outside!

We had a brisk start to our holiday season with negative temperatures as the highs. We welcomed Will's mom, sister and nephew home for Africa to celebrate Christmas with them. It was quite a cultural shock for them with the cold temperatures. His nephew has never seen snow and is hoping it warms up enough outside for him to enjoy it.

We started off the Christmas season by taking Lyndin to see Santa. She was a good sport, but wasn't into him. Maybe next year!

On Thursday, we met up with Will's dad and friend to enjoy supper together as they had just gotten back from warmer temperatures. They sure enjoyed their time away and the nice weather. We were meeting in Sumner so we were able to witness their new light display at the city part. What an awesome display that corresponds to music. It was neat to show Will's nephew the lights.

Friday and Saturday we received quite a bit of snow and then blowing wind. We were suppose to venture down to Cedar Rapids for the Glaser family Christmas, but after careful consideration we decided it was best not to go. Luckily we were not the only ones that made that decision so it will be rescheduled.

Sunday in negative 19 degree weather we celebrated Christmas with Will's brother and his family. Lyndin was able to meet the newest member to the family and loved it. She loves being bigger than someone as that doesn't happen very often.

This week is work as normal. I am taking Friday off to spend with Lyndin before the busy holiday weekend. We are doing Christmas with my family on Friday night, Christmas Eve church and seafood with my parents and Will's mom, sister and nephew and will spend Christmas day with my mom's side. Will's family is leaving right after Christmas and we will enjoy having Christmas with Will's "brothers" and their families across the road next week. I always look forward to that one as Lyndin loves all the "cousins".

Happy Holidays and God Bless!
