Christmas at the Ranch

This year we spent Christmas in Grover at our family ranch. My entire family was together which hasn't happened in quite sometime. Mom & Dad, 6 siblings and spouses, and 19 little ones in all. It was such a fun week. We had plenty of snow which made for a lot of fun sledding, riding 4-wheelers, and building snow forts. We had great food every night, played games, watched movies, drank eggnog, and just enjoyed the company. Luckily Santa knows where Grover is, since most do not. The kids were thrilled when they woke up Christmas morning to see what he had delivered. When Sunday came we were sad to leave. It was the best of times. Nothing like a ranch Christmas!

White Christmas?

The last few mornings we have awakened to a blanket of snow. The kids are thrilled and so am I. It doesn't matter how cold it gets, Riley is constantly asking to go play in the snow. This morning the kids got all bundled before preschool and had a ball scooping up the fresh powder. Here's hoping for a White Christmas!
