The Great Wolf Lodge, baby!











This year for Christmas I decided rather than buy Grant and Evelyn a toy that would eventually end up in the landfill, I would give them a small trip instead. We spent last night at the Great Wolf Lodge. Mammie went with us too. Great fun was had by all. Grant asked me, "Could this Christmas get any better?" He was loving life. We went out to eat at Famous Dave's Bar B Q, IHOP and the T Rex restaurant. The kids even let Mammie and I do a little shopping at the Legends before we went back home


Our first snowman of the year, baby!

We all did really enjoy the snow. I felt like I was living in Alaska for a while. I don't remember it snowing for 3 days in a row like that for quite some time. Someone told me this is the first white Christmas in KC in over 40 years. The bummer was not all our family could make it for Christmas. We really missed them. It just wasn't the same without them. Maybe we will do Christmas in July to make up for it. I love the Christmas season. I enjoy getting ready for it and going to Church on Christmas Eve, such a holy time. I'm always a little bummed when it's all over.
