Walcotts' Winter Wonderland

The Walcott family gathered again on Sunday, December 27 for dinner and some family fun in what turned out to be a winter wonderland. We all had a blast playing outside before dinner. I tried out my new snow pants, and Bright tried out his new sled. Once he was over the hurdle of putting boots on, he was a very happy little dude. We have yet to make a snowman, but I suppose there's still time.

Home for the Holidays


Hope you all had a wonderful holiday. I wanted to let you know that Jon's parents are home, happy, and healthy. Thanks for all your prayers as they have been living, working, and teaching in Jos, Nigeria.
We've never really understood "Home for the Holidays" until now. We've enjoyed several gatherings with the Walcotts this past week already, and we are so thankful they are able to be home for a few weeks. They don't begin their journey back to Nigeria until January 9 where they have been asked to stay and work full-time. We will know their decision next month.
There's lots to catch up on after being gone for five months, but not much is more important than catching up with the grandkids :)

Merry Christmas!



Confession: We Started Early




The Little Drummer Boy

We shared this with some family members via email as we weren't going to post this, but several of them persuaded us that it is blog worthy. In case you were wondering, I did receive permission from my husband to post his singing debut here for all to see and hear.

And now without further ado, here are My Boys performing "The Little Drummer Boy." We hope you enjoy their performance.

Message from Santa

Brighton received a personalized video from Santa this morning! 
You can view it HERE. 
You can make one too.  It's free and only takes a couple minutes to set it up for someone young or old...naughty or nice.

The Season is Here

The holiday season is upon us.
The snow is here.
A snow day has even arrived, so I have a few extra minutes to share some pictures from the last week of fun.
