We had planned to drive to Omaha to spend Christmas with the Sinclair family. Unfortunately, Old Man Winter showed up, and we decided driving down I-35 in less than ideal conditions with a 2 year old wasn't a smart decision. We were disappointed to say the least, as we'd been telling Jacob for the last week how he was going to get to play with Noah and Hayden. All week he had been asking about them, and he even got to the point where he would point up to their presents that were on our shelf in the closet and say "Noah", "Hayden". In addition to our change of plans, our Christmas Eve service at our church was cancelled!
On the other hand though, I am truly thankful for our other family that is in town. Mike's family invited us to come over for sledding and dinner and Sarah and Mike hosted dinner on Christmas day. Jacob had a blast sledding and Dad got some exercise (not only did he ride down the hill with Jacob but he pushed Jacob up the hill at least four times).
Jacob had a great time opening his gifts - it has only taken 3 days. He had 6 presents under the tree and he opened a couple of them and started playing with his new drill and truck. We asked him if he wanted to open another gift and he said "no" and just kept on playing. This morning he noticed another gift under the tree and picked it up and brought it over and asked if he could open it.
I am so thankful that no matter where we are and what the weather is doing we are blessed with our gift all year long, our little "Jabits".
We hope you all had a Merry Christmas, and may God bless you and your family in the new year!
