Alexis tried to teach Ansley how to ride her bike without training wheels today. It was only 41 degrees outside...a little too cold for me to be outside but they had a blast. Ansley loves her new bike and is trying really hard to learn how to ride without the training wheels. It is so nice to see her big sister trying to help her.

Christmas was very different this year. We adjusted well to celebrating Christmas in Oklahoma. The girls had a lot of fun. Ansley and Alexis could not believe that Georgia had a white Christmas and we did not.
We went to a candlelight service Christmas eve night and Ansley fell asleep before we got home. She slept right through the Night Before Christmas Story.
The girls really enjoyed playing with their cousins. Ansley got some walkie talkies and it has been funny listening to them play on them. Jimmy has been learning the ten codes for the police department and now the girls are using them on the walkie talkies. Jimmy and his brothers enjoyed playing with three remote helicopters. They crashed into to everything, including us, but it was very entertaining for everyone.
I hope everyone had a great Christmas and we missed celebrating with all of our family. It is crazy how things have changed so much in the past two years, and I thank God everyday for my wonderful family and the support we provide for each other.

We went to see the Christmas lights at Rhema,
a church in Broken Arrow. They cover their
entire property with Christmas lights and set
them all to music. It was great to see the girls
enjoying their Christmas experience.

We went and rode the Polar Express Train in Branson, MO. The girls favorite part was "the hobo". He magically captured the Christmas lights outside and put them in the girls hands. Ansley says that was her favorite part of the whole train ride. We got to drink hot chocolate, eat cookies, and Santa Clause brought us each a bell from his sleigh. It was a very magical experience. Ansley was so tired after the train ride she fell asleep at dinner.

Waiting to ride the Polar Express Train!
