Eating Snow








I posted these picts awhile ago, because I didn't have time to add an explination. Now I'm on Christmas break from school and I'd love to tell the story.



Once a month all upper level students get the chance to give a presentation on anything they want to present. I chose to use my mom's advent cake tradion to present the redemption story and the reason that Jeasus came to earth to my class. It was a lot of work--not only to make the three layer cake with lots of crazy decorations; but also to translate the story that goes along with it and present advent all in French. So, after my presentation was over on Thursday morning--I asked Dave if we could ditch language study for the afternoon and "head for the hills." For anyone who didn't know, we live in the foot hills of the French Alps. So off we went, to the top of one of our hills. (these are hills, not mountains. the mountains are just a few miles further--in my opinion.)



It was beautiful. Benjamin had a blast. Since then we've bought him a red sled and had another adventure with some of our other missionary friends. As soon as someone sends me pictures of that trip I'll post him with his sled.

Rach, that was way too cute. =0) Ben is getting so big and he has the greatest laugh. I almost felt I was there with you guys, hearing you trying not to laugh and Dave's commentary. Miss you guys
