Christmas/Solstice

After getting back from Ouray we stayed in Moab for Christmas and played in the snow. Alinas parents spent Christmas with us and it was nice to have them down.

We usually try to get out and spend some time under the stars on the longest night of the year. I like celebrate the old Pagan holidays and see how they have been morphed into the modern Christian ones.

This is the first year that the kids have woken up early on Christmas morning, they usually sleep in which is nice, but not this year. Thye drug us out of bed at 6:00 AM. So I walked outside in the dark and took a picture looking through our front window.

Christmas with four boys is mayhem and things get crazy, but I hope we were able get the boys to at least think a little about giving and not just getting and about gratitude and not just commercialism.
