Stumble It!
Merry Christmas 2008!
This Christmas season finds me on a family holiday to see our Ohio relatives. We are toting four grandson's, ages 7, 5, 4, and 2, their mother, (our daughter), with my husband and I. Just before we left my hubby bought 3 new kid movies, so our long car trip from Georgia would provide entertainment for the troops. Previously we had one movie, Nemo. Do you know how many times I heard that movie. I could probably recite the whole movie.
The seven year old no longer believes the Santa Claus fantasy, but is having a good time with keeping it a secret from his brothers and playing along. On the way to Ohio we saw a line of deer running. The five year old was sure they were Santa's reindeer going to meet Santa's sleigh. Another thing they were amazed at was snow on the ground. We don't see much of it in Georgia. With it only being 5 degrees, we aren't letting them play in it. But, when getting in or out of the car they still linger a little, testing it out. Another surprise to them, is they can get water out of the faucet that is as cold as water that has been in the refrigerator.
Before going to the relatives we stayed at Great Wolf Lodge. We had been there two other times, and it was high on the request list to do again. In case you are not familiar with Great Wolf Lodge, it is a family friendly lodge that has an enormous indoor waterpark. It's 85 degrees year round in the waterpark, so the 5 degree outdoor temperature wasn't a problem. Plus, the boys could visit with Santa Claus every night. Seems like he stays there!! He could really know if they were naughty or nice!
After the adults were really exhausted from several days of nonstop fun, the boys were still full of energy. We went off to great grandma's. There is a full basement to play with fabulous old toys. Somehow Santa, and all the presents found there way to great grandma's in Ohio. After Christmas we will be visiting with great Papa Jim, and other relatives which will complete a fun relaxing vacation.
Lot's has changed in my family, and in the world, and real estate this year. There are a lot of different types of opportunity in real estate. But, what I really want to focus on is the unchanging love of God. He sent his Son as a baby to be the substitute for our sin. We all have a choice to accept Him as our Saviour. Praise be to God, that he sent us this gift! Along with all the fun, and family get togethers, don't forget to celebrate the birth of Jesus. Be sure to read the biblical account of the birth of Jesus, and be reminded of the gift that never changes.
I hope it will be a great pleasure to visit your blog again when I come back with my kids from school.
