Stockings!

We were fortunate to spend Christmas and New Year's in Minnesota with my parents and brother, and at the Twin Cities Christmas Conference for the Upper Midwest campus ministry region. Both were fantastic. We arrived at my parents' house in Duluth, MN one day before a massive blizzard made its way slowly through the area. Total, we ended up with 24.5'' of snowfall in two days. That's a lot of snow! Thankfully my parents have a snow blower and sturdy shovels.

We ended being tucked away in my parents' cozy house between sprints of snow shoveling. Mike always has trouble keeping his feet warm on floors without carpet, and my parents have only hardwood floors in their house. So, Mike had to get creative. He found two wool stockings that my mom was using for decorations and repurposed them:

Playing cards...


Doing dishes...

Watching football...

Taking a nap...


Reading a book...
