The biggest highlight this year was snow and sledding on Christmas eve. We got to go to Christmas eve service with our hair still wet from our time spent sledding together. Honestly, I'm fairly certain that was one of the best family times we have ever had. We went to a local park with some huge sledding hills and there weren't many other people there (not many people are crazy enough to go to a park with huge hills on the entrance drive during a snowstorm!). The snow was pouring out of the sky, and everything was so white and pristine. I just love how quiet and beautiful it is when the snow is coming down like that. And our kids had SO MUCH FUN!!! I can't say I have ever been sledding on Christmas Eve before. It was certainly worth ignoring the final Christmas preparations that needed to be completed at home. They got done later... MUCH later :0)
