We had an amazing Christmas here at home this year. We were sad not to be on the West Coast with our families... but were really excited to be able to spend the week with some of our St. Louis family. Jen, Steve, and Amelia Allen moved in for our "week in the mountains." We are pretending we are stuck up in the mountains until January 1st. We have hardly left the house and it has been wonderful! Here are some favorite pics from the week:

We did spend time with our families via the web cam on Christmas morning. It was fun having a bit of Washington, California, and Nebraska in our living room. Here is Dan's Mom and Dad:

Carter has a bit of a truck thing. Here are some gifts from Grammy and Papa that he refused to put down:

All 4 of our guys were by on Christmas at some point during the day. Here is Fred's brother, Ty, playing trucks with Carter:

It looks like you are having a wonderful time with Jen and Steve. How special to have such one on one time together. It was so good to spend some time together with you all Christmas morning. Carter is so cute with how much he enjoys his trucks.

Sounds awesome Alyssa. How wonderful to have such good friends to spend the entire week with! I have never met Jen, Steve, or Amelia, but have prayed for them. That is the amazing part of being in the body of Christ.
Continue having fun for your last couple days of being stuck up in the mountains! Great idea!
