What a beautiful Christmas Eve we had. It was storybook perfect waking up to four inches of snow, and it continued to snow throughout the rest of the day. The kids played out in the snow for quite a bit; I think Elijah easily spent 5-6 hours total outside! It was great packing snow, so wonderful for making snowmen, forts, and snowballs. Because the snow was a very wet snow, the roads were still okay for getting out to go to Christmas Eve service. So after celebrating our Savior's birth we hurried home to the awaiting tree.
At our home, we combine Wolfe and Clark traditions, so we open about half of the gifts on Christmas Eve (as it should be done, ha!) and the other half Christmas morning (as God intended it
;P
