The moments pass so quickly this time of year. It's been such a fun winter so far. The girls and daddy have taken a special interest to iceskating on the pond in the back. It was a special treat to skate in the dark last week with the full moon shining overhead. Derrick reports that Aliya takes charge on the ice (like she doesn't anywhere else), "DeWilde's gather round," waving her arms. "Now, what do you want to play: tag, race or red light, green light?"
She does however have big shoes to fill, as she graciously pointed out recently when Derrick asked her to go get him his slippers. She promptly returned wearing them.
Last week in CBS, she was delighted to have daddy, mommy and auntie Kayla come watch the kids sing their songs. She was for the second year able to dress the part of Mary and carried baby Jesus. Likely, she was the loudest singer.
Breanne and her BFFAE, Kendall are quite the pair. I'm especially proud of her for being such a great friend. Kendall got hurt sledding and Breanne has been wonderful visiting her friend and playing games with her, keeping her company while she's laid up.
Madison had her Winter Snow…I mean show. What a joy to watch your kids do something they love! We were blessed to have grandparents at the show and then overnight and even to hear Madison and Breanne read the Advent Passage and devotion at church.
