Real *SNOW*

So we are happy to say that we have finally went out to play in the snow this year! We've been waiting for Ben's health to improve and couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day. Here are some pictures of our adventure as a family!
Dane only had 15 minutes to spare and wanted to do something fun with Ben! It was a blast and we enjoyed every minute of it. Ben wasn't ready to be done but was tired enough to come inside with us.

Snow!?

Who knew that fake snow could be soo much fun!
(Notice we have real snow outside!)

Christmas Confessions

Ok so I'm slow putting up our Christmas pictures but I lost our camera in our stuff and didn't take any pictures of Christmas morning. Thanks to Mom we were able to capture the precious moments with Ben on her camera! So here are a few pictures of our quiet and small Christmas together!

Here is Ben coming up the stairs on Christmas Morning!

Dane and Ben excited over Ben's new train set from "Bampa" and "Moma"!

Ben's new tools! I was trying to help clean up the boxes.

Ben's new tooth brush and he was showing everyone his teeth!

New Year!

We are learning everyday with Ben and his health. At times it is trying as parents to watch your child cry because there is something that has to be done. Even though we still don't have the answers as to why Ben is having such problems, I'm grateful for the peace and serenity that my testimony brings. I'm grateful for a New year to start fresh and begin anew to find myself. Something that seems to have gotten lost over the last few years of ill health on my part as well as Ben's. I look forward to accomplishing more and feeding my soul with good. I don't know where this year will lead as we travel through it together as a family, but I pray that we might be able to adhere to the plan the Heavenly Father has in store for us.
May you also have a Happy New Year!
