Christmas Day Outside P4

 Gathering In

 Chris Stoking the fire and Cam and Cass

 Roman and Katie

 Then, the snowball Fight

 The little kids were mighty snowball warriors, getting us directly in the face (that was Elijahs favorite) or stuffing snow in our pockets when we were looking the other way. We were pummeled.

 Ode used a snow shovel.. haha

This Christmas was one for the record books, everyone here, and happy, and SNOW to boot!

This meant so much to me

All of the hustle and bustle and workup to this day

And when all is said and done

The best THING was just being a part of the big messy loud chaotic love

I love these people with all of my big sloppy heart

and am humbled

By their beauty and light

And days like this day

Make every moment of worry, darkness, fear, struggle, uncertainty,

 everything that life throws at us

Totally and 100%

Worth It.
