Enjoying The Christmas Spirit!

After my visit with Katelynne in Albany on Monday, I flew back to Baltimore, got up early Tuesday morning and flew to Detroit Michigan where I rented another car, set my GPS in place and took off for a two hour drive to Napoleon Ohio, to visit Zeke, Sarah & Joe! It was a beautiful drive with alot of snow along the way.

Sorry West Coast family, I think it's the lack of cold weather that doesn't allow one to enjoy the spirit of Christmas! How can it not feel like Christmas when there is snow on the ground, the high for the day is mid 30's and everyone is playing Christmas music! With the excitement in the air Zeke, Sarah & Nana went Christmas shopping! It was great, complete with Zeke's little red nose as we stroll down the street!


Zeke loved showing Nana what he wanted for Christmas!
Even in the car we had to stay bundled. Zeke loved the Christmas wrapping paper.

Wow! I am so amazed at all the decorations in Ohio. These pictures make me feel a world away from all of you. Other than the lamp post decorations at Raley's; Yuba City just isn't that festive, yet.

So glad to see we're not the only ones in the Christmas mood! Thanks for the pictures. It looks beautiful! Sorry to say mom, but our snow is almost gone. Every day we have several snow flurries, but I guess the ground is still too warm to have it stick. We'll pray hard... and hope He decides to change the forecast for us. Love you!~Jaime

Dad, you need to take back YOUR blog!!!!

Well Matt and Jaime, maybe the lack of snow is God's way of telling you to be content with the holiday at hand, not the holiday that is more than a month away.

Merry Thanksgiving to all you East Coasters!
