MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

A few pictures of the kids in their Christmas-y clothes, actually looking like they like each other!!

We are so thankful for this season and the meaning it brings to our lives. We know that this holiday is really about our Savior and his love for us. We feel particularly blessed this weekend to be safe and healthy. On Saturday we were all in a car accident with 7 other cars! It was an icy day and the hill was just too much for the van. Thankfully no one was hurt and thankfully we have good insurance. Oddly enough, there was a news guy a the bottom of the hill filming the whole thing! Watch this crazy video and pay close attention to 1:02 minutes in (that's the car coming down the hill that will hit us) and at 1:14 minutes in, you can see Kelly (in the red coat) jumping out of the way!!
This is the video of our car crash...

That is CRAZY!!!~ Kind of a little treasure to have a video like that taken, though.

We had some fun like that on I-84 just west of Ontario on Saturday. I saw braking at the bottom of the hill, so I started (slowly) on mine, but that sent us fishtailing, then we did a 180 and were about to go into the median backwards. But we hit the shoulder and the front end swung back around to the front and stopped on the shoulder, so we were facing the right way. I started back down the hill before all the trucks that were coming down caught up!

WOW! I HATE driving in ice storms. I'm just glad that I don't have to drive up a hill like that. I'm glad that you guys are well, and hopefully your van gets fixed quickly. Merry Christmas!
