Thankful for Christmas and Christmas Lights

Today in church we sang a number of Christmas carols and oh how I LOVE singing Christmas songs in church. I love the reminder of what this season is all about. We also read the story of Jesus' birth. It's always refreshing and exciting to read that story and the wonder it brings to remember that our Savior came as a lowly babe into this world and lived as a man, yet committing no sin, and was one with the Father. He did ministry right along with his disciples, teaching and instructing them as he went. And he came in order for us to have salvation! What a Savior we have! Praise God for this Christmas season. Excited to spend time with our friends and family on the East Coast. Desiring to get past the commercialism of this season and celebrate the true meaning!

Jack and I enjoyed another day up on the slopes on Friday (so thankful for his schedule where he gets every other Friday off) and were able to enjoy some fresh powder for the first time! The hill got about 18" of fresh powder and falling down didn't seem quite so bad! Definitely thankful for the opportunity to take advantage of this activity so close to home!
(click picture to enlarge) Fresh snow! It snowed the whole time we were there, too!
Later that night we enjoyed driving around the city taking pictures of the plaza and different things downtown. Thankful that Santa Fe decorates for Christmas!
