peace on rth!

Tonight for family home evening, we went to check out the lights around the pond by the hospital again. It's so pretty, we wanted to see it one more time before Christmas.

 These ducks were going crazy, pinning one unlucky duck down, biting its eyes and pulling its feathers out (you can see a few of the mob behind the speaker there). Then they all ran straight at us. I think Ashley might be emotionally scarred for life. Every time she saw a duck, she hurried away from it, or hid behind me.

 

It still doesn't feel like Christmas, since it's warm outside. My kids like to sing, "it's beginning to look a lot like summer," or, "baby, it's warm outside." But we're not complaining, and are enjoying our first Christmas in the swamp!
