It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

With all of our reading about Christmas, Ethan started saying that it wasn't Christmas time because there wasn't any snow. True, Phoenix never feels very Christmas-y. So, when Mike's work needed someone to do an inspection up North on a Saturday, he volunteered and we joined him. It's about 4 hours away so we left this afternoon. After checking into our hotel, Mike and Ethan took off to go sledding. We'll all go again in the morning before Mike goes to work. Then we'll probably stay another night and head home in time for church on Sunday. Ethan is SO excited about the snow! Here is the wintery view from our room and Ethan getting ready to go sledding in his borrowed snow gear!
