We couldn’t have dreamed of a more beautiful snowy holiday for Lake’s first memorable Christmas. It was very special timing and heightened the sense of festivities. Look, Lake… it’s snowing!

Michael was the most excited! We went out for a Christmas Eve romp in the snow. We tossed snowballs and stuck out our tongues. At first Lakes didn’t know what to make of it, but as he warmed up to it he had a great time playing in the snow and visiting with friends and family. All the neighbors were out on Christmas Eve and an impromptu sledding party ensued. Mummy and Daddy gave it a go, but Lake drew the line at sledding… not for him; not this year. He likes to watch the snow from his high-up perch!

In the morning the city was still blanketed in a glittering icy shawl and we celebrated our Christmas joy with a run. I ran to yoga with Jodi Boone and Michael continued on his run around Greenlake. A special Christmas Day.

In the afternoon we were more than happy to sit around the fireplace feeling cozy and content. We ate all the delicious food that Nana prepared and caught up on stories with each other. I told Lake the story of the Christkind, and how he has all of God’s love inside him too. A perfect day; I’m glad I spent it with you!

Merry Christmas! Frohe Weihnachten!
