Christmas Past

Last Christmas was wonderful!! We stayed home in California and spent Christmas with our precious friends, The Orgill Family. We miss you Ross & Lisa!! A few days after Christmas we went to Big Bear and slid down the mountain. We had a BLAST!! I wanted to share a few pictures. We hope to make this a family tradition each year that we live in beautiful California. Anna Clair has asked when we would go back to "snow mountain"... she is too cute.

Freeway Fender Bender

Last night, on our way to church, we had a fender bender on the 5 freeway. It was pretty scary!! In the middle of all those lanes and wham we hit the car in front of us. Jason was changing lanes and the car in front of us stopped!! We praise God that we didn't get hit from the side or rear end!!

After we hit the car - Emma Grace said, "O, my belly hurts" and began to cry. Noah said, "Are we gonna be late for church?" Anna Clair slept through the entire event.

So, after we got off the freeway and exchanged insurance information... we headed to church. I asked the kids what they thought of the car wreak on the freeway....

Noah said, "It was FUN - jerking like a roller coaster"

Emma Grace said, "It was just plain horrible!"

Anna was still asleep :)
Jason and I were thankful it wasn't a bad wreak and praised God for his protection!!!
