Dreaming Of A White Christmas

This time of year we’re always hoping for a white Christmas. Unfortunately, we are not going to get that here on the island. As a matter of fact, Jayce has only been around snow a handful of times. The positive aspect of being here is that we are close to Mt. Etna and the boys like to go snowboarding. Last year was the first year that either one of them have been snowboarding. It was some good times for them, they actually did pretty well! (There were no broken bones involved) This year we’ll probably hit the slopes skiing. I’ve only been skiing once in Colorado, but I’m looking forward to spending a weekend on the mountain playing in the snow, drinking hot cocoa, and shopping in the quaint little towns.

These pictures were taken while we lived in Virginia. It does not snow there much and hardly ever sticks, so this was a unique experience for us as it was Jayce’s first time to witness a snowfall. At that time we were living at Harbor Tower's and Will was attending classes at the Naval School of Health Sciences for Nuclear Medicine. Jayce was about 6 or 7 years old. We had such a fun time having snowball fights and making snow angels.

This year I’m especially excited because we will be spending the holiday in Prague. I heard it’s beautiful this time of year so I’m looking forward to the experience. Since this is Lana’s first Christmas it will be extra special for us to have the opportunity to spend it in Prague. Just a few more days before we leave! YIPPEE!!!
