To Grandmother's house we go...

Tomorrow we will be whisked away to a winter wonderland.  Ok, that's a little over the top LOL.  We have been planning to drive to my parents house for Christmas eve.  Turns out there is snow and freezing rain in the Gorge, which is a pass through to my hometown if your not from around here.  My dad has to drive down and pick my whole family up, escort us down to The Dalles and back home the next day.  Brian is praying that we dont get stuck there.  That would not be good.  Not that it would be the end of the world or anything but we just want to be home for Christmas day.  I love Christmas.  And even if we had nothing to give or receive, I am blessed beyond measure.  My savior, Jesus Christ, was born!  What a great time to celebrate.  This year we are having a birthday party for Jesus on Christmas eve.  The kids(and maybe Brian) will make a cake and decorate it, sing and read the Christmas story from the bible before bed.  In the years past, we did this on Christmas morning, but the kids are so excited to open presents, I am not sure they even hear the words.  I want it to mean more, so we are starting a new tradition.  Merry Christmas!
