Christmas Program - Take 2

I'm sure you all remember Josh's Christmas program last year. Yeah, the one where Dustin had to go up with all the other 4 year-olds and Josh cried through the entire program.

The program had originally been scheduled for an evening and Dustin was distraught because he had to work; however an ice storm caused it to get postponed. Thankfully it was rescheduled for during the day so Dustin was able to attend. And a good thing he did, because this year Josh rocked!! I knew we had it in the bag when he came strutting down the aisle and gave us this look:

He's such a hoot!!

I took a lot of footage, but most of what I got was Josh looking around at all the other kids. Ironically, the little girl that stood next to him broke down mid-performance and had to go back to her parents. She got about as worked up as he did the year before yet Josh looked at her like she was crazy. Ahhh....what a difference a year makes.



After the performance he came back to our pew and was so proud of himself.

Yeah, well, we were pretty proud of him, too.

As if we haven't had enough snow and ice around here, God decided to send us another winter snow storm. And boy did he get us this time!!

Every time we get a big snow like this it reminds me of when Dustin and I were dating in high school and him and I would ride the four wheeler all over town. Honestly, we are as bad as children when it comes to the snow. Dustin wasn't even done bringing the kids in the house from church on Sunday and I had already run upstairs and changed into my snow gear.

We left the kids in the house with Dad and we played in the snow for a good couple of hours. Of course we did some actual work and cleared out the driveway and sidewalks, but my badly windburned face was evidence that we did more than work.

There was a moment when we were riding the four wheeler so fast that I could hear us both laughing and I immediately felt like I was 16 again. Shortly after that we pulled into the driveway of our house (with a mortgage) and took over caring for our two kids.

Back to reality.
