Today Lee and I had our 'December Date'. We travelled into town and began our special date in a small restaurant where they serve Italian Subs. We then walked through the town and wandered in and out of all the local shops. This is quite a treat for us because we normally only shop in stores that have carts for our two littlest family members! We stopped at a local coffee shop and ordered two tall steamers to go...and then we continued to browse through the town, sipping warm drinks as snowflakes swirled through our hair! I love spending time alone with each child, it's such a gift. I thank Jesus for blessing me with these amazing children.
It snowed about six inches last night, on top of our already 4 inch base, and our neighbour, who is as close to us as a Grandpa, made the greatest toboggan hill between our houses! The kids had so much fun on it this morning and even My Baby Boy went down on Lee's lap! This was his first "I think this is fun" toboggan ride! He loved it so much that he even went down all by himself! What a joyous sound to hear him laughing all the way down. He didn't even complain about walking back up! These are the moments that I treasure as a Mother. |
