Ahhhhhh. There is no better feeling than finally sitting down at the end of a long, and very happy Christmas. We were lucky enough to wake up this morning to a gorgeous white Christmas! It was beautiful to see everything with a fluffy, pure white cover and so different from our usual warm San Diego Christmas. The kids got to go out and try to make a snowman out of the powdery white snow that fell the night before. Santa came to visit early this morning and the kids all seem very pleased with the goodies he delivered...no lumps of coal for this bunch! Much of the day was spent getting ready for the big Christmas feast with Grandma and Grandpa and all the aunts, uncles and cousins. We had our usual snowball competition at the end of dinner. We started this competition when we were all little kids - Mom made a "snowball" (made of vanilla ice cream rolled in coconut) with a candle in the top of each - the winner is the one who can keep the candle burning longest. It is a silly, fun way to end our celebration. This year we got a family cup to pass from winner to winner each year, this year the cup goes to the Riggs house because Lily won! Truman was pretty upset that his candle went out just before Lily's and he thought he had won...oh the disappointment.
We're looking forward to a few more snowy days in Utah and we going to take the kids skiing for the first time. That should be a great time, we'll keep you posted on how that really goes!
Hope you all had a wonderful day too!
