After watching the weather, we decided we'd better make our break and beat the storm to my parent's home. This meant speeding up our last minute preparations and forgoing our scheduled activities. In our hasty exit, Hudson made sure we left a note so Santa would find us.
We traveled safely and arrived at our snowed on, cozy Christmas cabin, greeted by my parents and sisters. It was an enjoyable Christmas Eve with the traditional pork loin dinner. After a rather restless night, we were wakened by a very excited boy. Santa had put new pj's on him and he was very confident that a firetruck and dinosaur awaited him upstairs. True to tradition, we had a wonderful Christmas. I loved watching the kids with their joy and excitement. We braved the roads and joined the Wilkins crew for Christmas dinner. It's always fun to see family. We were all able to share our experiences from the $1 challenge that my aunt gave us. Every person in the family (59) received a dollar with the instructions to remember the "Power of One" and make a difference. It was fun to reflect on good deeds done and remember the true meaning of Christmas.

Dear Who's in Hillmanville:
Tell me more about this Power of One. Sounds like a great way to be more charitable at Christmas. It sounds like you had a great Christmas.
