sledding with the family

Sunday we ended up staying home from church. Laine was getting over an illness and she needed more rest...but by afternoon she wanted to play outside and we went sledding. It was a wonderful family day with some baking ( saltine chocolate toffee....go there for the recipe), and Christmas music, sledding, afternoon 3 mile run, Wii mario cart games, dinner and coffee and snuggling with the family on a cold day. I am so blessed to have a family that makes living so much fun. We are looking forward to the next few days and gatherings, and being thankful for Christs birth.
