Christmas 2008

We did Christmas a little differently this year. First, we gave our children the opportunity to serve others by helping with sorting and distributing Christmas gifts to those in need. Second, we spent less on gifts than in prior years and gave our children Christmas money to purchase some gifts that they would really use. I excerpted some clips from Christmas Day.



The day after Christmas, we took the kid's to a ranch not far from our house to a Bed and Breakfast where they give horseback riding lessons. We had a great time as a family and learned some new skills.

Our trainer, "Ms Tweety", taught us how to groom, bridle, and ride. You'll see briefly in the video that Joshua's horse, Meg, kept walking away and at one point Joshua was facing in the opposite direction as everyone else. It was quite funny!
